Description

Celebrate Stokes’s legendary innings with the Gunn & Moore Diamond Ben Stokes 55 Cricket Bat in Blue/Black, a limited edition of the Diamond featuring an engraved depiction of the triumphant moment from 2019.
Headingley. 25 August 2019. One-nil down, England required victory to keep the series alive and stop Australia taking home the Ashes. Having scored only 67 all out in the first innings, they were left needing 359 to win in the second. Wickets tumbling around him, England on 286. Step up Ben Stokes.

The Diamond’s dominant shape was on full display as England’s talisman hunted down those remaining runs, scoring 74 off 45 balls to win the match with an unbeaten 135. Massive boundaries put its huge, full-blade profile to work, with Stokes going all around the ground, front and back foot.

This edition of the bat is made from Original willow – superior, unbleached Grade 1 English willow – and each of the 55 bats produced is individually numbered. On the front, Stokes’s famous arms-wide celebratory pose is laser engraved to commemorate one of cricket’s greatest ever innings.
