Who do you play for Mr Cricket?  Reckon i know who you mean.  Keeper, M Hood, who plays for Boston 2nd XI on Saturday and  my club on a sunday.  He got his off an Aussie, Dan Milgate. He plays for Woodhall on the Sat and again for my club on a sunday.  Not had a hit with either though nice enough pickup.

Just had a look at the website and they look like nice bats, I was really tempted until I saw the price...........700 AUD for a custom bat? Nearly £500 in real money? plus shipping? Errrm, I'll leave it thanks! I could get 2 custom bats made for that....!

Like the look of the gloves though.....nice design.

sounds about right, pretty sure it was the keeper... he got cleaned up first ball after gobbing off at us all day in the field while we amassed 270 odd, cant say i was particularly taken with him.
