Volume is just the amount of space something occupies. It has nothing to do with it's moisture content.

1m3 of water has 100% moisture content.
1m3 of sand probably has less than 5% moisture content.

Both occupy a volume of 1m3.

Correct but the weight would be different between water and sand and water

For the Ashes, England has to play Anderson and Woakes along with anyone who can move the ball in the air. The limp wristed and spineless Australian top/middle order are absolutely useless when the ball is doing a bit, and will fold like a deck of cards. England could bat reverse order and still be fine, you'd only be chasing 30.
I predict another series whitewash, and I'm Australian. On fairly flat bouncy wickets in Australia it might be different, but our blokes just don't have the patience, concentration or balls to tough it out and wait for the conditions to suit them.

13 ish straight grains and no blemishes.

Massive edges at 46mm (illegal!) and high spine (possibly also illegal) plus some concaving. The face is totally flat and the toe completely square. Gives the impression of a very wide bat.

I would say not very soft pressed as I'm not getting big marks from knocking with an old ball on a string. Certainly nothing like as soft as my Mrf  grand edition match bat or an Adidas xt black that I have for sale. These took many many hours to knock in.

I'm liking the pick up and look off this bat. I may keep it for myself for when the Mrf gives up.

Very impressive for the price. I'd love to compare with the G3 version. I'm guessing the edges will be smaller on the g3.

Calculate volume by weight and moisture

I'd love to but I'm going to the T20 game that night in Taunton so don't really have the time.
