A G Thompson (Kookaburra) Invented the "Gray Nicholls" Scoop!

Ive read a few things lately about Gray Nicholls and the Scoop bat and wanted to make sure everyone had
correct information on its Manufacture etc.
ALL Gray Nicholls bats sold in Australia were entirely made at the AG THOMPSON factory at Moordialloc in Victoria for many years.
Made under licence from Grays in the UK.
The scoop was designed and invented and manufactured entirely by Thompson's (Kookaburra Sport) and Swan Richards who worked there at the time.....and its
still entirely Australian family owned.
In the 80s Thompsons had a name change to Kookaburra Sport and dropped the English grays bat manufacture and started making their own brand of bat!
