Title: Why isnt Kumar wearing an Ayrtek?
Post by: TommyDeeeee on June 19, 2011, 03:35:25 PM
May have been asked before, but i was just wondering as to why Kumar Sangakarra isn't wearing an ayrtek lid?

Having met his agent on Friday were hoping to grab a bite to eat with them both this week and discuss this in further depth, we obviously dont offer to pay players to use the product so hes free to use what he wishes as such. We have put across the case of safety that the helmet offers etc so will see what happens

You should ask for the ones he had off you free back then, if he's not going to use them. Then send one of the 12 vents my way  ;)

Look at it from another angle. At least now people will stop referring the helmet to Sangakkara and will start looking outside the box and see that other players are using it

What's cracking with kumar watching him this morning and he was wearing an Albion ??? Has he switched sides yet again ??
Title: Re: Why isnt Kumar wearing an Ayrtek?
Post by: Nickauger on October 21, 2011, 02:24:10 PM
I think the answer to this has already been covered. And who cares if he's not wearing it, his loss and there are other big players taking up the mantra anyway.

Not really the past I heard read about was that Tom had seen him during series with England and he then started wearing them again so I may have missed it so please fill me in

I think it is more the business between Tom and Kumar, rather than something for gossip on here. If you are that interested, contact Ayrtek to see what they are willing to disclose.

Like others have said, does it really matter?
Title: Re: Why isnt Kumar wearing an Ayrtek?
Post by: shaqharris on October 21, 2011, 02:42:54 PM
I wasn't looking for gossip at all  >:(
Was simply asking a question !!!!!!
Am pretty sure if it was Kevin pietersen not wearing his masuri they would probes be a topic posted to ,
Or if James Taylor came out wearing the stigs helmet we would all be like well where is his helmet

Why have you chosen to attack my comment when it was said by others previously in the thread? Another round of mod based Jon bashing? ;)

I'm sure if Tom wants the reasons to become public knowledge he will pipe up in this thread.

Think he chopped and changed around the world cup, then pretty much stopped using it on the tour here.

No point. I don't get banned for things I say, or rules I break. I get banned because someone decides to ban me. May as well be true to my word in the brief periods between the bans ;)

He wore it once or twice. Majority of the time he wore an Albion.
