With the darker evenings slowly rolling in and the cricket season drawing to an end, I notice that people are already starting to think about what cricket fashions to wear next season!
So rather than posting in the 2011 kit topic (Soooo last year!) I thought it best to start next seasons topic to see if anyone is so well prepared that they already know what they'll be using! So who'll be the first?
PS. Our Australian friends can feel free to either keep posting in 2011, or they can even show us which trends to expect for next season!? 8)
-
Ordering my pads in the next couple of days, will get my kit up soon. No more additions I think.
-
I will have pictures up by the end of the week of my 2012 kit.
Bat: Ayrtek Elite
Gloves: 2 x Kookaburra Kahuna 1000

Gloves arrived yet Liam?
-
I head back to Aussie in 2 weeks and will be heading straight to the Kooka factory in Melbourne to pick out all my gear. Can't wait
-
Gloves arrived yet Liam?
Not yet, probably tomorrow with the bank holiday.
-
You boys are so damn organised! :(
-
Bat still going strong as are pads etc but may treat myself to a new set of gloves :)
-
Bat:Will either be getting a CF Premier Cru or a SAFbats Hades (or possibly even both!).
Softs:Will prob get CF PPR1 gloves and matching pads if I can stretch to it. (otherwise will continue with my H4L pads)
Fancy a new bag too - eyeing up a Hunts County Almighty at the moment, or I might split my kit out into a duffle for equipment and a sports bag for clothing.
Definitely in the market for new spikes - fancy going down the spiked trainer route, but again, that's dependant on funds.
-

I wonder what gloves you will be getting!? ;)

Romida sale Pete, that's what sorted me out!

Im on the same boat as you then mate!
Dont really need anymore kit, but wouldnt mind a Millichamp & Hall S6 (if the price is right)...and some nice pads....and some nice gloves lol
-
If i play at all next season (awaiting mra scan results) then i will be needing new kit to replace the kit i sold when i stopped playing and needed a new clutch!
Kept my trusty strippers, aero box, keeping gloves and whites, but the rest will have to be purchased. Exciting times though when all new kit is actually needed!
-
Im on the same boat as you then mate!

The only thing i actually need to buy is a helmet. But there's often a few good deals going around on here in the off season so always worth looking out for something!
-
Don't expect to acquire any additional hardware for next season, apart from the SAF bat that is due.
Gotten some interesting new pads this week, but gloves are fine, and I'm not suffering on the bats front....

Now that you mention helmets, I actually fancy an Ayrtek lid lol out of the price range (even the new cheaper version). This turned out more like a wish list for 2012 lol

M&H have got a sale on down here in Taunton at the moment Haider. I think it's 20% off which is about as low as it gets for a new bat from them.
James
-
I'll be using pretty much the same as this season except for my bargain bat, some new keeping pads and I'll be using an old non-cricket bag to replace my Slazenger duffle - It's doing my head in!

Gloves: Puma Iridium 5000
Boots: Trusty Asics Gel 452 N.O.
Keeping pads: Need to replace my old GN Millenium one's
Keeping Gloves: Puma Kinetic 4000
-
I won't be here until end of April so I can't really buy a lot of stuff at the moment! But I'm thinking either SAF or H4L when I get back, as my softs are on the wane!
-
Mostly the same, gone all H4L this year.
Bat - H4L monster (need a weight reduction)
Softs - H4L 666 gloves and pads
Helmet - Masuri steel (to buy)
Protection - shock doctor and aero strippers (to buy)
Bag - Gray nics PP duffle
Accessories - sidearm pro
-
Possibly...
All laver and wood...
or
All SG (RSD Elite bat, test pads, hilite gloves WK and Batting)
with a masuri helmet
-
Going to make quite a few changes to my kit for next season. Going all H4L so going to be selling my Redback softs and I'm probably going to change from a large kitbag to a duffle and smaller bag as well. Haven't decided what to do with my Paradox LE yet - it's barely been used and is playing second fiddle to the Hattori at the minute.
Bat: H4L Hattori
Softs: H4L Hattori (to buy)
Lid: Masuri
Bag: Duffle and small holdall (to buy)
Spikes: Asics Gel Advance 3's

Would you want to sell the Paradox? Any chance of some photos?
-
Have Pm'd you

splendid kit choice if you ask me, not sure about the lid though...
oh and I got at least one new bat today, possibly 2, got to go to the post office in the morning...
-
Going all Instinct in 2012 with one of their offers hopefully :)
Will still have my Ayrtek helmet and Aero Strippers etc though!
Expect to see a stonking bat for sale though... :D
Most of my kit is breaking anyway so I will give it to colts at my club :)

what bat arrived Kook?SAf?Talisman?
-
what bat arrived Kook?SAf?Talisman?
I have the kook... g3 on looks, but a good size for a 2.9 bat and a nice shape with decent pick up, I haven't bounced a ball on it as my son is sleeping and that is more than my life is worth. the Orange stickers aren't to my taste!
as for the package at the post office... well Andy saf doesn't have my home address, but mike does...
it might be something totally not cricket related, but I'm not expecting anything. needless to say i'll be first in the queue at the post office tomorrow...
-
Need to come to you for some coaching at least I know you won't nick my gear.
Also found you get some nice kook's in lower grades with nice pick-up
-
So far
Helmet : masuri
Box : gray nics
Getting everything else new :)
-
I have just been on the Greg Chappell cricket store website and seen some of the prices on bats for the coming season.
The top of the line GN, Kooka, GM etc are all $750 or thereabouts. That's equivalent to £450. Ridiculous prices
-
Much cheaper to buy in the UK thankfully!!
-
cheers that would be good bats with SAF Shield ;)
Here goes:
"You would have seen that we have the Ultima project readied for 2012 and this allows you to pick the look, feel and name of your bat. This will be the very best on offer, as you get all this and top advice on getting the best from your bat.
The rest of the range is as follows
1) ORIGIN
2) INFINITY (plus POWER X option)
3) HADES Ltd Edition run of only 200 bats (fcfs basis)
4) MECH10
The Origin is going to be the new classic shape from SAF it is an enhancement of the Fabrica and Andy feels it elongates the playing area of the blade without comprimising any of the best bits of the original design
The Infinity is the our "T20" Andy puts that in inverted commas because people use the bat in normal cricket. The Audax design has been tweaked making it less concaved but still has the low toe edges and higher spine to provide balance and power. It provides the power you need for T20 but also the balance doesn't comprise your ability to play those cuts, the back foot game abd the swing feel for front game if required. Because of all those factors we decided to offer the Infinity next year in a full size blade option for those that dont want that shorten blade.
The Mech10 is SafBats stock shape (to be fully revealed later this year) based around the bat that won the 2010 award from All Out Cricket it was an easy decision to tweak the shape, enhance the edges to fit the modern look but retain the exceptional balance of the original design. It is effectively a mix of the Erus edge and the Fabrica spine. So far the feedback has been very positive as we have used a local college and its cricketers and local clubs to blind test the bats and get feedback from them during pre-season and the summer.
The Hades is a new concept from Andy, one he's pretty attached to. The Bats concept was a techie one. It was mapped out on paper and theoretical calculations worked out. Then various iterations of the bat made up, the final design is a bat that brings into play the techie performance areas of the bat in the hitting area based on its pressing, swing weight, balance. They are all fine tuned and tested and he loves them.. The shape you'll see in good time but these will be strictly limited to a 200 run.
The last bat on that roster would be the Ultima, this is a pretty simple proposition. As we find those rare clefts of willow that are either aesthetically beautiful, incredibly oversized or Andy feels will be pure performance above and beyond any G1. We set them aside for people to choose the profile, look and colours of their bat. A truly personal bat to them. A one off"
-
Only addition I am thinking of now is Millichamp & Hall kit (pads, gloves and bat) but in order for that I have to get rid of Salix Arma gloves, Newbery Test gloves and GM Luna 808.

Many thanks would like a Hades Ultima if not will be Mech10
-
Yup, I really fancy a Hades. Don't think they are accepting orders or releasing prices until 11.11.11 though :(
If they're much more than £200 then I'm out..
-
Might have to email + see if I can preeorder
-
One pair of my Kahuna 1000 gloves have arrived, just waiting on the pads and second pair of gloves now!
-
I've only just stocked up on full M&H Distinction gear (ashamedly and literally everything!) so I guess that will hopefully last me another few season or two...The gloves and bat are looking very precious though, so may get a few other options on those fronts for net practice.
-
Some of you guys spend so much on kit just to keep up with whats in fashion, worse than my Mrs.

Indeed, I like to look at new gear, but never been bothered about switching all my pads etc because they don't match my new spikes. My stuff tends to get used till it's knackered, which is a while the way I bat.

I admit to being a bat hoarder, but that's not about fashion... Pete will understand...
Pads last ages, and gloves about a season.

He also has to get pictures up off it!
-
If anyone is interested in an Instinct kit deal please visit http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=13377.0 as we are offering a limited amount of deals, i will try and get photos of the complete kit up later today.
Please PM me with any questions
-
Right, this is my 2012 kit so far:
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc207/liam_sccc/dccd7b37.jpg)
And will probably be off loading this lot:
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc207/liam_sccc/3838c685.jpg)
-
I like this forward thinking...
Bat(s) - Salix Rogue and hopefully a Warsop Platinum or Puma Iridium 6000 gtr very soon..
Pads - GM 909 d30s
Gloves - GM d30 Limited Edition and Warsop Platinum Pros
Helmet remains Albion Club Mark II with Ayrtek Titanium Grill (recent acquisition) with Aero P2 Protectors aswell as Newbery Duffle Bag to lug it all in.
Still haven't found the perfect wheelie bag....which could be what i keep an eye out for between now and next season...
However,
-
Bat: Gray Nicolls Oblivion 4 Star!
Gloves: Gray Nicolls Powerbow 5 Star
Pads: Gray Nicolls Powerbow 5 Star!
Helmet: Albion, Titanium Grill!
-
Right, heres mine!
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc207/liam_sccc/7eb0d795.jpg)
-
Will get some pictures up when I have it all/most of it:
Bats: L&W Reserve + L&W Legend (net bat)
Gloves: H4L LE's small mens (to order) + GM Orignal
Pads: GN e41 1000le
Helmet: Masuri Titanium
Bag: GN Legend
Protection: GN Legend thighpad + Le deux sports inner.
I may get some aero p2's in December, but not sure.
With the Laver's, I had a bit of a setback with the funds (family reasons) and Andy and James were nice enough to allow me to put a large deposit down so the work could get started so I could hopefully have the bats by my first game, then I would simply pay the remainder as soon as I made up the difference, which isn't too far away. Some may think that is strange, but this way the process will have been underway for a little bit then I would simply pay the rest and have the bats soon after, rather then starting 2/3 weeks later and not having a bat for 3 or 4 games. I am very appreciative of them for allowing me to do that, so you guys can look forward to reading an extremely good review from me about them.
-
I think i'll be going all pulse, all redback or all charlie french for 2013 :)
-
Pulse? Pardon my ignorance but who are they?
-
A 2013 production i think, possibly 2012 depending on if the lad gets his (No Swearing Please) into gear.
-
2013? What's happened to next year?
-
Peps is injured
-
I'll put on my current kit plus what I'm hopping to collect before 2012 season starts!

Slazenger Duffle Bag (+ hoping to replace with Woodstock personal Wheelie)

Just found these in the loft! Bought them around 3 years ago for £30 brand new. They were made for Niall O'Brian to use in the world cup, but Puma accidentally made them right handed when Niall is left handed. Used about twice, didn't fit so must have put them in the loft... will now add to my kit for next season! :D

Yeah mine is a pretty decent bat, not the prettiest of bat's grains wise but performs well, its not as good as my Hell4leather but then again the H4L is the best bat I've ever used. Its the only warrior bat I've ever had so I couldn't say how good they are overall.

I'd say this was approaching hosk-esque levels of obsession! ;)
-
Sparse on the bag front...
-
I'm inspried by Mr. Hosk but but no matter what I can never come to his level he is simply un-matchable!
-
Right then Mr Cover_Drive, your challenge: Fit every single piece of your kit into one photo!
If you fail then your forfeit is to catalogue every one of your bats for us in a bat inventory topic with pictures, specifications and a mini review.
Ready.Set.Go.
Edit: Re-read and it sounded a bit rude, if you were able to do the above then that would be great!

Planning on applieing for a sponsorship with GM ..

Nah Liam no offense taken didn't find you rude so don't worry mate. Its all good!
If you guys really want I can do it for bats, pads, gloves etc
-

can't*
other than that, LOL!
-
Wazza you're my hero for that
-
It is looking increasingly like I will be using a few low end GN bats and maybe the Signature. Can't see myself buying any high priced bats over the winter. Just seems to be throwing money away. Bit boring I know.
-
Are you really going to use the sig?
-
Use it or sell it, who knows.
-
Nah Liam no offense taken didn't find you rude so don't worry mate. Its all good!

-

You did really well glueing it back together after the shredding incident :)
Cover drives bat collection is amazing, a couple of the special ones I've seen look better than anything I've seen
-
Just hope he sees sense and sheds a few because it would be criminal for those bats not to be used.
-
He's more than welcome to send one my way lol.
-
Tell me about it, there's 1 or 2 I wouldn't mind trying out ;)
-
Just sounded like a bit of a command to me!

I knew you were in good mood so didn't take it as a command mate
Will start a topic soon!
Cheers for kind words Canners
Jon have been trying mate, not sure if you see I have already sold two the other day will be selling further two more soon
-
CD please can I have first dibs on the laver and the GN
oh go on :)
-
Use it or sell it, who knows.
Let me know if you sell, I'm looking for a net bat.

Haha nice
-

Just got my others back from a clean up so will post pics today at some point but pretty much the same

-
Think those pads need a clean up!
-
I'll clean them after last game
-
A-Roc, are those Pumas spikes or rubbers?
Any good? I'm looking for a new pair in the winter sales.

Thought I'd add some pictures of my 2012 kit to the thread, as I'v ebeen playing with a new toy. There is another bat to add to this lot which I am led to believe is going to turn up this week...

How do you find the triumph pads Tim?
-
How do you find the triumph pads Tim?
If I was a normal sized batsman, I'd find them rather large, but being very tall, they fit very well. I originally had the OSM version, which were far too big, even on me (my inside leg is about 35") so reverted to the standard mens.
-
Love that laver ....
-
Suppose I should have put some bay weights in. The instinct, laver and SG all come in between 2lb9oz and 2lb10oz. The kook is 2lb 11oz, as is the lekka, and the bulldog 2lb12oz.
-
Why has no one said anything about the mongoose pads? What are they!?
-
They are sample pads that Tom was selling.
-
Wilkie,
Still sleeping in a Liverpool bed spread!! :o
-

Yup, and I'm a bit of a fan of the more modern style pads so I thought I'd try them out given they were not terribly expensive.
-
Wilkie,

Haha is that aimed at the result at the weekend or my age?
My room is very dated, id rather spend money on cricket equipment than bed spreads :)

missing one of my bats mate :D
Nice kit very brand loyal !
-
Waiting for it to test mate but not sure if the reserve is staying so may be a place for it
Not brand loyalty Tom bullies me into buying kit
-
Ah well it will be sent after this weekend as i shall give it a whirl on tour and then it shall be in your "safe" hands :P
Tom seems like that good thing I don't have any money for him to steal :P
-
I will probably be adding an Ayrtek Premier to my kit as well!
-
Colesy
nice kit mate, i like the morrants pads, have you tried them out yet? only they look brand spankers
Sorry mate, only just saw this!
Used the pads 2 or 3 times and are very nice! Feels a little weird at first as they have no knee roll so the usual padding isn't there although I've been hit twice and not felt a thing. Only issue so far is that they're very white, and my whites are not so looks very village!
-
Received my 666, stickered as a Hattori from Matt today (bat on the left) to pretty much complete my kit for next season so here it all is together. Never can rule out more willow though.......

With that grip on the laver reserve against that bag, it looks like someone has chopped some of your handle off!
Nice kit buddy!
-
Looks great Langer!
THe grip on Reserve is it Indian SnakeÉ
-
Also, those chairs look mighty comfy! Are they cup holders in the arms?

Yup
Is that your media room langer17?
-
That's not even the best part, they electronically recline so its super awesome :D. They are cup holders yes.
Not a dedicated media room, just our lounge room but it is basically like a media room.
It is the snake/scale grip which feels best for and I buy them from GCCC. They use to be made by kook and came in white, but are now made by GN and only came in black which sucked.
-
Very nice!
Will have my kit up sometime at the end of next week at the earliest, once I get my Ayrtek Premier Lid and bat back from a clean up with Tom
-
Class kit mate
And I agree with the others, those chairs look amazing!
Perhaps the next review of something could be your house?!? A real Aussie house for us in boring England :(
-

Did you spot the Blaze cap bud, bit of advertising lol I've claimed those camo gloves til next year, and I've just bought a spanking new masuri but never say never it's pay day next Monday!!!
-
Nice masuri.... ;)
-
Bloody hell, how many pair of gloves do you want!
Is it weird that even with 2 pairs of Kahuna 1000 gloves that I want to buy more? Would like to get some Puma Tricks gloves and some Newbery Camos!

The masuri fits like a glove well chuffed, I love my gloves the camo's are lovely, I don't want to use them tho, the new pumas are meant to be the dogs but I prefer the all white ones a bit more sutble

Tempted to sell my Boom Boom and get a GM. Have to talk myself out of it :(
-
gm limited editions are extremely good bats, only question is if you're willing to spend £300
-
My GM Flare is the best bat I've ever had :D
-
Just pulled out most of the equipment I own. I will be using whatever I dont sell of it. The long winter will tell what gear I will be using next year. Also will be picking up a couple of things like spikes and a new lid

-
Johnny, what are the dark green softs?

The dark green softs are samples I have got made. And the SS at is brand new and has not been used.
I have more kit but could not fit it into the photo. I have been buying way too much kit in the last year
-
new lid is all i have on my wish list....need to give my bat some TLC still when i find time to prolong its lifespan (I hope)
-
Johnny - is that a pair of solitaire pads in your 2012 kit photo?
Are they any good? They're a bargain price if they are, £50 for pads and £35 for the matching gloves with pittard palms
-

Yes they are solitaire pads. I got them in may 2010 and have wore them ever since. They are great pads and would suggest you get a pair

Mr Hosking a challenge to you. Can you get your 2012 kit all in one picture.
-
I would need a mentally wide angle lens!!
OR I could take the picture from way back? ;)
-
Not my favourite choice of grip/handle warmers!! :(
Bet you don't have any of those in your collection Mr Hosk :D
-
Maybe from space?
-
Nice Redback gloves there matey
Very nice mate, still havent used them yet - first indoor match next week!
-
Bet you don't have any of those in your collection Mr Hosk :D
I certainly don't! Plus I'd need too many handle warmers for my bats, so would be far too costly! :(
Maybe from space?
Not quite that bad! But I may try to make a final decision about what kit to actually use before Nets start in January....then I can take a sensible photo of a 'normal' amount of kit!! ;)
-
Top kit fella. Just out of curiosity, what model New Balances are those?
-

-
Top kit fella. Just out of curiosity, what model New Balances are those?
They are the RT760s, racing shoes. Bought them for indoor cricket but will probably get them spiked up before next season for my long stints on boundary patrol! Am in the market for some spikes before the season starts too, liking the look of the Gel advance 4s, very sexy

Good lad, and go back to the good old days when u use to take 20 odd pics on the living room floor.
-
HAHA LOL - A special bat like SCAT deserves all that ;)

i dont quite understand the volume of bats some people own, can only use one at once.
is it just a pure love of cricket and equipment???
where does all your money come from???
-

A teaser of my 3 bats, (teaser meaning poor quality from the phone and proper ones will be up tomorrow.
The £200 Ayrtek vs The around £100 D&P vs The £48 Bulldog
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc207/liam_sccc/667f653b.jpg)
(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc207/liam_sccc/74dcb300.jpg)
-
....so theoretically, the only difference to the eye between a top end bat and a £48 bat is the aesthetic of the face... and I can't tell the difference based on those shoddy pics!
-
What's the specs of the bulldog Liam?? I've messaged Mr Bulldog about getting 1...
-
You can find out tomorrow when I get better pictures up!
-
What's the specs of the bulldog Liam?? I've messaged Mr Bulldog about getting 1...
2lbs 9oz, it has no concaving and a mid to low middle. Exactly the same as my ayrtek apart from the concaving and exactly the same profile as my Talisman
-
Grains?? Blemishes???
-
Um, some blemishes, but decent for £48. Not sure on grains, it's downstairs!
-
Would lol if it performs the best out of all of them
-
Edge size? (where's the FPOTE shot?!)
-
Decent edges actually, not sure on size.
Sorry guys, I really under prepared for this, how's about I do a proper review tomorrow with proper pictures and FPOTE?
-
Poor Liam - sort it out

Cheers buddy. A few minor bits to get sorted before the season and then hopefully I will be in some sort of a position to sell some cheap softs and bats!
-
Love the Rogue pal!
I really wish I had a decent camera to show it off in all of it's glory. Didn't really need the bat to be honest, but got it at a price where I couldn't say no! Still might leave my hands before the start of the season mind!
If it wasn't for this forum then I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have all this kit!
-

I second Simmy, believe me I have seen/owned literally all brands softs and your indeed is class!
-

Tend to agree there, very understated. Enjoyiable!
-

Thought the point was that they would be blank lol
-
Glad the initial feedback is good. I think in comparison to the majority of brands out there today they are pretty much blank. It's only a small plain logo measuring 50 x 30.

You weren't lying! That is quite a collection! I've been in cricket shops before that don't even stock as much as you own!!!
-
Is all that really necessary? Especially those pads and gloves, I could never begin to comprehend owning that amount of gear.
Is spending more than £XYZ on a cricket bat necessary, when the club probably has some, or you can get one for £50 from any half decent sports shop? Cricket in itself isn't a necessity, so why shouldn't one indulge? Think of Petehosk for example, he has more bats than I have career runs (must be close anyway!), some people like to collect rocks, some stamps, some STI's (snigger snigger), and CD likes to collect cricket kit! He probably uses all of it anyway! Haha

Fair enough, I agree it's nice to indulge. But that's a whole lot of indulgence :D
-
No kit as yet. Looking for some softs at a good price, don't need to be test match quality. Something British would be nice. ;)
Hint hint anybody?????????
-
Wow 23 bats, that would leave me with 1 bat for each league match and one for nets! Some collection!

Cheers Tumo you have summed it up nicely, it indeed is collection now.
Fvan, unfortunately no mate.
Alba the SS you see is the bat I first got from my Grandparents in Pakistan in 2009, the bat beside it is tape ball with autograph of Mohammad Yousuf, Wahab Riaz and Nasir Jamshed while Legend has Wasim Akrams autographs
-
That is an awesome collection of cricket kit
-
were the coloured pads made for international use??

Quality, did you get them signed yourself? I'd love to meet Wasim Akram!
Which are your favoured match bats out of that lot?
-
Cheers Wolfie.
Kierani, the maroon ones are Craig Kiesweeters and I got green ones from Asad @ Uzi Sports I believe they are pro ones as they have one logo
-

Wasim Akram was here (in Canada) so took Legend because I thought Legend deserves Legendary treatment lol
Mohammad Yousuf and co one I was in Lahore so I went to camp and got it signed.
In 2011 it was BlackCat Shadow (old stcikers one) but in 2012 it will change most likely because I got new bats injected lol
-
Awesome! He certainly is a legend
-
4 of them have 48mm edges and no concaving so pretty damn huge......
I got them from a very good friend of mine :)
You forgot to mention the weight Canners

Do those Aero grips just go strait onto the twine?
Or on top of a base grip? ???
-
Straight on the twine. I tried them and found them to be comfortably the worst grips I have ever used but apparently if you use Aero gloves they work great! I think they were designed to be used together..........
-

Yeah, if you use them without Aero gloves then they aren't very grippy. But with the Aero gloves, they're really soft and comfortable and really, really, really grippy
-
would you say the quality of the aero gloves overrides the design or are they not much different to normal gloves?
-
They feel pretty different one to normal gloves. At first I found I was gripping the bat too hard because they're pre-bent and you don't have to try as hard.
-
down to these three now!

Looks a big un
Your heavy bat?
Yeah think it's about 2.15 but picks up very week indeed
-
yes, doesn't pickup like a 2'15 after playing with it today. Still too heavy for me lol. Think Simmy has the weight ranges covered with a 2'9/2'12/2'15 :-)
-
Is it the pic or does it have a bit of concaving?
Nice weight though
-
No concaving at all, not that I remember.
-
How will Simmy decide which one ???
-
May depend how much weatabix he's had that morning
-
Or how many pies!
Prob depends on if he's in slog or super slog mode :D
-
Any other photos of the bulldog looks a beast?
-
i swapped pete for my 2.9 h4l! its the MR t bulldog from his bat thread!
which reminds me i need to book a delivery
-
How will Simmy decide which one ???
easy peasy...
scoop if i bat up top of ingings on a sat when bowlers are nippy
2.12 for quick run scoring @ home on a sat
bulldog for 20/20
-
What happened to using a lighter bat?
-
What you done with that oblivion Simmy??
-
I remember that mr.t from visiting Pete as was quite tempted by it myself it's a beast and a 3lb wonder he told me
-
What you done with that oblivion Simmy??
It's mine now hahah
-
bulldog for 20/20
not if you are opening in the HT20, don't won't you getting bounced out again :D

A bit about each: left to right
The Gn just came back from a refurb it was originally a Nitro Pro performance that I bought at the end of the 2010 season. It's now stickered up as a Quantum LE. Superb bat, does have some surface cracks. Weighs in around 2.7-2.8.
Next is my Millichamp and Hall Solution. It was a custom made one, I went up and chose it all, my first milli and most probably my match bat for next year. 2.8 in weight.
Next is a grade 4 bleached willow woodworm that I am (fingers crossed) getting signed by Pietersen in Thursday. Got from Hit4six in a swap deal.
The kooka has been my indoor match bat and bowling machine bat, bout it from aidy1098
on eBay for sily cheap money. 2.7, Blade 250. Looks and is so much better than a 250.
Last is a Hunts County beauty. The grains and rebound is phenomenal. A light bat at 2.7, hoping to get some stickers from buzz to dress it up.
All bats could be sold.
-
The Hunts County is the old reflex shape i think. i had the same one maybe 10 yrs back. lovely shape.
-
That's the one, I also got that in a swap deal with h46, willing to part with all bats
-
i had a lovely reflex great bats
-
That hunts bat looks amazing
-
Aestheticly the best bat I have ever had.
-
I am liking the profile of the woodworm
-
Off the mallet it's a plank, ideal for KP to sign!

I still can't forget these bats... ;)
-
4 of them have 48mm edges and no concaving so pretty damn huge......
I got them from a very good friend of mine :)
And the weight of these?
-
around 2.12 i believe, will need to confirm weights as my scales seem to be up the spout....
they're absolute monsters tho
-
What happened to using a lighter bat?
ive got a 2.9 scoop?
-
mine is all done now....remfrys added and a new spare bat as cant see my main one lasting the whole season sadly :(

-
That bat on the right..............nice profile, sure I've seen it somewhere before!
-
haha you may well have ;) its well documented that I loathe nothing more than knocking in a bat
-
Yeah so he outsources that part of the business
-
So what's what Tom?
-
delegation is the key to any good management ;)
They are all cricket bats Joseph...Lammy...Scatty...Beefy
-
That bat on the right..............nice profile, sure I've seen it somewhere before!
Beefy is my fave, although a beefy lammy would be nice :)
-
Hahaha! I thought so, looks nice with the Ayrtek stickers on it...

Would be too heavy for u Michael @ 2.13 thought u were a lightweight wielder ;)

Pads - Salix Pro 2011 (excellent pads, can't convince myself to change them)
Helmet - Albion Ultimate 98.
Thigh pads - Adidas from 2010

Was sold with a caution that it will go like a gun but possibly last me one or maybe 2 seasons depending on the amount of cricket I play / use the bat.
Bat2 - (almost custom) Salix Strike. 12 grains with some heartwood. 2lb12oz, but pick-up like a 2lb10oz and the middle is massive.

Yash, what happened to your Gray Nics XXX
A team mate bought it for his son. His son wanted a bat for Christmas which would perform and make him and the bat stand out of the crowd :)
Too good a bat to let go, but then I got what I wanted for it and sorted most of my kit out. Win-Win for all
-
All new kit, am i the only who still uses pads and gloves that are a few seasons old.

Hey mate, how do you find your helmet? any chance of some better pictures?
-
Thanks for the kind words Kaustav and Finisher. Hopefully I can put it all to good use.
-
Puma looks like it could do with a refurb mate
-
Or a new scuff sheet!

From someone I know.

Hey mate, how do you find your helmet? any chance of some better pictures?
Have just bought it. Was using a Masuri Ti till this season.
The Albion felt comfortable, fitted snuggly, the grill placement felt better and got a good price for it. Also, since I like to hook and pulln the albion's design gives a bit more protection in the area between the back of the head and neck
I will put some pics up tomorrow.

Yeah it probably does need a new one but I'm hopeless at fitting them properly

Try and clean that one then, a little bit of Nail polish remover and a sloth would do wonders on that!

Nothing works better than nail polish remover and a sloth. You might want to muzzle it, they make intensely irritating noises when being wiped on a bat.

excellent for hammer edges!

That must have been really bad typing, s is like an inch away from c!

Toe is split in 3 directions so have dowelling to hold it together....slight crack on the edge too :( still goes well tho going into its 3rd season
Does this kind of repair have any impact on performance. I know this is right down at the toe. But with the dowels going into the wood does it deaden the toe end.
Tom did you use a toe guard. How many repairs has it gone through. Are there any other cracks apart from this.
-
this happened at the start of last season i think and i used it to score another 800 runs last year roughly so i dont think it effects the middle....any bats toe is going to be a spot of less rebound so not that worried.
will get a better pic of the toe when im back in the office tomorrow as you cant really see the uni directional crack in the pic

perhaps someone who enjoys blisters and pain!!!
-
Tom, off topic but have you had anyone sledge you for using all Ayrtek gear, before finding out who you are/ what company you own? Haha

The CJI is the Trojan, I think its 2lb 10, I have the Sumo and the Fatso which are mahoosive. I will weigh the BDM pads.

A work in progress but hopefully this is some of my kit for next year

Which ss pads are they?

Test Opener from Aswani Cricket

The BDM pads are 1lb. 7.3 oz

Is it me or do the BDM pads appear a little smaller? :-[

Someone asked for a profile of my Sumo Trojan so I thought I'd add these
(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/97notout/DSCN3574.jpg)
(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/97notout/DSCN3575.jpg)
The trojan is 2lb. 13.9 35 mm edges
The Sumo Ltd is 3lb. 8.6 with 45 mm edges
The Fatso is 3lb 12. 2 45 mm edges.
Doubt whether I'll use the ltd or fatso and I don't know what the pick up is as I'm still bulking up down the gym. I may just keep em next to the bed in case of burglars. lol
-
They're massive! With the 3lb+ ones, I can't help but think that they could be so much lighter, just some weight reduction at the top and toe. I assume they're all kashmir?
-
They look frigging huge!!!!!
-
The fatso doesn't look as big as the one on the CJI website, how much would that one weigh???

Is that the not-good-enough for Kohli nike? And is that red laver a harrow?
-
Yes to the kholi and the ultra is an inch shorter blade, inch longer handle. Full/normal width.
-
So a kind of Laver-Mongoose? How much does it weigh?
-
More of a lekka big hitter or bulldog spirit t20. Weight, well bat makers scales 2-8, mine and my works calibrated scales 2-11
-
Very nice Rob. Bats for the connoisseur.
-
Nice bats Rob - you decided which will be your main match bat out of them?
-
Thanks Chaps.
Signature on the left will be my match bat. The other sig will be probably next seasons bat or the year after. The ultra will be for 20/20 or going in and having a smash with. Nike tick bat is a super bat but will have minimal use and will probably be the overcast, maybe wet weather bat.
The blueroom is surplus to requirements at the mo and is up for sale if anyone is interested. Im sure I will be able to pass it on to a team mate as it is a quality bat. Just got the bug of buying bats when there was nothing wrong with it. I expect most of us have a bat or 2 in this position!

Whats the weight and middle position on the blue room?

Whats the weight and middle position on the blue room?
On my scales 2-11(bought requesting 2-10) and it is a low middle.

Damn. If it was 2.9 and high middle I would have relieved you of the bat.

What weight is the Nike bat (Kohli)?

Favourite kit so far. Will be ordering my bat in the next week or so, so will get pics up when I can. Won't be in the same league as you people with 15+ bats but I like it.

I was going to ask this... He seems to change kit faster than a supermodel at london fashion week!
-
Langer, what happend to your Lavers??
Sold them as they were heavier than I wanted and I didn't want to send them back. Should have kept the PB, but oh well.
I was going to ask this... He seems to change kit faster than a supermodel at london fashion week!
Lol, changed bats a little bit this season, probs 4 or 5 times. Would rather do that, opposed to having 4 or 5 bats when I can only use 1. Also, apart from the KD and now the replacement GM, all the rest were bought from overseas which meant I didn't get to his them. I now know I can be pretty fussy, and I will stick to buying bats that I can hold before buying, even if it is a lot more.
-
Have you been getting runs tho?? That's the question....
-
Have you been getting runs tho?? That's the question....
Scored a few, just didn't feel fully comfortable. I'm just happy that the t-20's are out of the way as they bloody ruined my average, lol. Only have two day and one dayers left.
-
Ahhh ok mate. Would be good if you could post some pics of you playing if you have some?? See how our friends down under are doing lol

What happened to your Lavers? And the Gladiator? Great looking kit by the way :)
-
Pete, have you sorted your kit yet?
-
Mines now complete with the addition of the joker extreme :) currently dotted around the office so will have to gather it all together for a photo :D
Looking forward to seeing the Extreme! ;)
And yes Mav..one or two. I am just trying to sort out what I have and continue with my bat inventory so will see if I can do some nice pics 8)
-
d7bow - not yet. Am trying various bats out and will hopefully come to a decision by March!! :(
-
How do you rate the H4L softs mate?
I really rate them. The gloves are amazing, so comfortable to wear. The pads are a tad on the heavy side and it's noticeable if you are used to very light pads but you get used to them. The quality of the softs are top notch.

Awesome, I just want a few opinions, need some new kit this season and I want to know what people think of some of the "boutique" brands. Massive fan of the branding as well!
-
d7bow - not yet. Am trying various bats out and will hopefully come to a decision by March!! :(
It must be a right pain having to spend hrs and hrs playing a game you love trying to find a match bat out of 100+ bats. On behalf of the forum we feel your pain ;)
-
It most certainly is fella! And Pedals shares my pain - he's so supportive!!
And please don't worry about me too much....I will pull through and survive for the love of the forum! ;)
-
After a while it's pretty hard to tell one bat from another! The standout ones are obvious. Scat, M&H, Asad TK, Ihsan, CF etc but the rest are all so good it's nearly impossible to tell them apart. Goes to show every maker is capable of producing an excellent bat, you just have to pick them right in the first place...!
I have been nagging Pete to have a clearout though......if only to make our net sessions a bit simpler! :D
-
Pete's match bat will be the Charlie French bat.
-
What happened to your Lavers? And the Gladiator? Great looking kit by the way :)

Redback LE as a net bat?? Christ!! Lol
I think they're your old Bas gloves as well??
The Redback has been demoted to net bat, although tbh I rarely use it anymore....should probably sell it really but I'm not sure how good it really is as I never got along with it and wouldn't want someone thinking they'd been ripped off!

If you fail then your forfeit is to catalogue every one of your bats for us in a bat inventory topic with pictures, specifications and a mini review.
Ready.Set.Go.
Edit: Re-read and it sounded a bit rude, if you were able to do the above then that would be great!

I have been advising a few new brands on their launches for this season, and as such I have been given a few new sticks to test for them :-
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2rr2jv4.jpg)
(http://i41.tinypic.com/kw7jp.jpg)
From left to right we have:-
1) Pony Cricket - The Pony Express Blue, 2.9lbs of willow perfection and my chosen stick for this season.
2) Diesel Leisure - The 'Brave', their original factory tester, so little battered, but a great pickup at 2.10 - smells great too!
3) Ping Sports - The 'Ping Perfection Pro Plus' 2.9 with a lovely (No Swearing Please)
4) LeCoq Cricket - The 'Incroyable' model, brand new, G2 in their range. Made by France's leading podshaver Wil L'Eau-King
Sadly, FatBastard did not share my enthusiasm for these!

As i think people will be able to see I've gone with a bit of a red, black, silver colour scheme for this season, be good to know your guys thoughts or if you have any questions, I also have some A1 strippers and a Gunn & Moore Original L.E Duplex bag. Hopefully be getting my hands on an Aytek black helmet with red and silver pin stripes.
Kibbs...
-
the gloves look great - where are they from? online stockist? are they small mens size?
-
Yes i got them from Online Stockist, I've read alot from your guys speaking about small mens glvoes from India and Pakistan, I don't know whether my hands are just small or everyone else's are so big, but I've never had a problem with them coming up small, Hope this helps
Kibbs...
-
Kibbs brilliant stuff!
Kibbs how are the gloves if you don't mind me asking?
-
Not really had a proper go of them yet, but they feel great really soft and fit perfect, pittards leather in the areas which get worn the most.
-
Cheers.
Which gloves did you have in past and do these feel better than those?
-
I've had the Ihsan Inferno 950 which are a split finger type, and the SS super tests. As i said, I've not really had a real go of the gloves but on feel, I would say they are better than the SS supertest, there was more flexibility in the Ihsan gloves but then again they are split finger type and these are brand new, but i good glove all round I would say.
-
Cheers, very helpful.
Thanks for all the help mate.

The slaz needs a bit of work but it is about 16 years old.
-
Looks like you got a great deal on that Basher
I've got a masuri I will be selling if your interested?
-
Nice kit gdb19, really love the look of those GM gloves, shame they spoilt them this year.
-
Completely agree, I'm not keen on the new design. Not used them yet but they're good quality, I reckon they just feel a bit tight but hopefully they'll give a bit.
-

I actually think this years look better

Thanks Liam, have you got some more details on the masuri?
Interestingly I weighed my slaz helmet when I took the pic and it's around 800 grams, which is about the same as an ayrtek titanium. Now obviously the quality and protection offered by an ayrtek will be better but I was quite surprised at the weight of my slaz.
Given that you can get 10% off ayrtek steel helmets (or anything else) at the moment on itsjustcricket and romida I was really tempted to get an ayrtek but because I don't play at a great standard and the helmet weight isn't reduced over what I've already got I might not do.
-
Mate how is the Woodworm Duffle? Is it one like this;

Well I bought them to kind of go with my uzi pads. I already bought a second set of blue for the talisman, although an orange set would be beast!

Bruce probably picked it up when he was not a proper batsman, So to him it was a lump of wood,
Now he takes care it getting to know his weapon more closely
-
The 'Ping' is the best of the lot :D
I am sure it scares the s*** out of the bowlers... ;)
-
Naaah - I have high hopes for the blank lam, that thing is frikkin' huge for the weight!
The SS as I think a Larsons blank, one of a batch I got from he who shall not be named.

How many of each will you actually use, 3? ??? Must be a good couple grands worth of kit there surely?
-
I try to use everything from time to time.
I have sold nearly 1000 Pounds of stuff already for this season, have already sold five bats with another one to go and few softs.
-
and I was thinking fattus cattus has too much kit!
-
Too much for a proper batsman?
Anyway, this will be trimmed by 3 bats when the offers come flooding in, then I shall buy no-more (promise)
Haven't got a helmet - still undecided as to whether to get one, not sure I'll ever need it.
-
Right, here are the pictures of my kit. Hope to make my Talisman the 3rd bat again (when i get it back!)

You going to training tonight?
-
here is my go - with a few changes from, as you will see, my original posts!
Bats: SAF Genus 100(unless it breaks ), SAF (Special Buzz Model if it arrives before the start of the season ), Lion Revolution (very special - again, no idea if and when it will arrive - but oooh it will be the real deal - if the marketing literature can be believed...), (Kook Rogue 250 - in case of emergencies - arriving at 18:00 this evening)
Pads: Kook Ice 850s
Gloves: Kook Ice 850s x2
Protection: Hawk thighpad set currently (shock might get replaced)
Box: Shock Dr
Lid: Masuri Ti
Shoes: Nike Span 7's with some help from Brian and Brenda/Asic gel gully 2 (for when I have to bowl- about twice a season these days!)
Bag: Bas large duffle
If the bats arrive I will add some pics at a later date...
Missing from the pics are 2 SAF Bats, one with Dom being mended and one in the post...

Buzz, whats so special about the thigh pads? Didnt know you could get custom ones.
-
When did you GM gloves come Liam?
You going to training tonight?
They came on Friday and yep I will be there to tonight!
-
Buzz, whats so special about the thigh pads? Didnt know you could get custom ones.
they are thinner than normal and an inch taller. They don't the stig was doing some testing and I put in a cheaky request, i wouldn't have thought it would happen again!!!
-
haha, well its good to have some people in the know.
has the stig got his own custom GM then? if so any chance of some pictures?
-
has the stig got his own custom GM then? if so any chance of some pictures?
who knows - in the past he hasn't brought a bat with him so Pete doesn't try and pinch it - he has seen his moves before.
-
Your a GM boy now then ;)
-
You're a GM boy now then ;)
and the Stig is my new best friend :D - he is being unbelieveably tight about his bats though >:( >:( >:(
on a more serious note the pads are quite a bit lighter (and a brilliant deal) but offer the same levels of protection as my old kook ones and the gloves were a bargain, so it was a no brainer, while the Icon was just an ebay gamble
-
Did you see the Stig's bat Buzz? Everytime I asked what he uses and if he'll bring it along, he looks kind of nervous and suspicious!! Almost as if I would mug him on the way out of the barn if he did bring it! :(
-

Pete, I genuinly have never seen it - although i do know he likes bats in th 2.8 to 2.9 region tops. He doesn't like a heavy bat. - which is quite two faced of him as he would happily half inch one of your bats!!
-
That makes sense!! He took a real shine to the Charlie French and that was 2'9! And the 2'8/9 Screaming Cat was almost gone in his kitbag in a flash! Could you please do your absolute best to persuade the Stig to bring his match bat or his net bat? Do you think he uses a GM for matches and either an SS or SF in the nets, ala Ravi?

I think he is a bit of a bat whore - trying different shapes all the time - which is why he loves the Batoff's. Pretty sure he is very loyal to GM though

Yeah, so this might change.......
At training tonight we didn't a bleep test with pads and gloves on. These pads are too bulky, it's the top hat that's the problem for me. I obviously didn't know thesis when I tried them in the shop as I wasn't running around or wearing my spikes. I should have just got the Kook pads which I lined up next to them.
-
give them time to break in as will become a bit more supple i would have thought
-
How tall are you Liam?
-
I'm 6ft 2, my last 3 pairs of pads have been Kookaburra and are on the smaller side of men's. These newberys seem to be on the larger size of men's. They felt fine when stood there in the shop with them on.
Tom, will wearing them in help? It's the top hats that's causing the problems
-
i've got a pair of SPS pads, which i find just fine on my little legs (i'm only 5'8) and i used to find my old kahuna pontings a little on the large side in that the top hat came up a little higher, but i had no real problem with them, guess it's just whether you can get used to them or not Liam as Tom said, they will mould more so the top hat may not seem such an issue later on

black cat pro 2.8 and ss custom 2.9 dressed as blank bats:) for 2012
-
No pads??
-
Pads are for girls - this guy is a TRUE MAN
-
Know someone that bats without gloves always has. Dont fancy it myself
-
Was too lazy to take out my pads from the duffle bag which is lying in the balcony :). They are youth size M&H pads for the fourth year I will wear them. still pretty good.
-
blank bats eh, who'd have thought it ;)
-
with proper nets kicking off tonight iv now sorted out my final kit :)

-
That joker looks the business!
-
Oh my lord, that kit looks great! lol.
Joker looks fantastic! The middle Ayrtek profile is absolutely stunning!
-
That middle Ayrtek is like a railway sleeper- awesome stuff!
Cracking set of kit there mate!
-
That middle Ayrtek is a stonker - looks to have a high spine and almost identical to my M&H Custom.
How are the Remfrys going fella?
-
Looks lovely, when you get out cheaply rather than throw your helmet in anger/frustration throw in that box (on right side of the pictures) and throw it at Royal Mail address with a address on it 8)
Lovely kit!
Pads look fantastic so do the stickers so does the helmet :D
Seems like SCAT is on its last leg.
I don't know it might sound wired but how come your outer/big thigh guard is dark and inner very light?
-
is that the screamer?
-
outer has been used more id think...i got them off of Mr Hosk to give a try. they are going well as used P1's all last year but not been hit full on with them yet so hard to judge the protection levels etc.
The middle bat is a big un and at 2.12 it ties in well with all the others that are the same weight....SCAT is still my match bat so hoping by using all the others in nets etc it prolongs it life a little longer!!
-
Make sense, cheers mate!
I hope your SCAT last you this season at least.
Sorry to ask so many questions but isn;t this same SCAT which you were looking to sell?
-
no mate i had 2 at the time this one and a 2.8 which was too light for me that i moved on.
Scored 4 tonnes alone with the scat last season so its had some use out of it in fairness going into its 3rd season! Would like a copy of it made in all honesty as the handle shape and profile suits me to perfection :)

Ah okay cheers for answering.
Julian himself says his bats would last two season at least and maximum of three but this depends on how it is used.
Oh nice seems like you will be going to contact BlankBats soon :D
-
Loving those pads mate....! Forum discount??? ;)
-
my pads? they are 3 seasons old now and the 1st sample set we had of the elite pads we sell....changed the interior colour to green/white to match our Elite colour scheme but standard issue apart from that.
Drop us a line if you want a pair....maybe able to apply a forum discount u never know!
-
haha I have spoken to Julien but with a wedding to pay for £450 for a new bat is something that will have to wait and id like to try our own at as well when this one dies as feedback has been good (even had a compliment from the kit test people) so will wait and see.
-
Let me know of you want a copy of your scat :p
-
got a few choices to make .. but this is the most likely, unless i get one or two other bats knocked in

2011 SPS's
-
sherpa top top choice :)
-
Very nice presented too!
Looks the dogs bollox!!

or maybe for less traditional feeling days...

i'm still waiting for the Hoskmeister to show us his wares .. didn't he start this thread?
-
What standard do you play mate?
-
now you are just showing off.
I take it that you have two P1 sets and two shock dr's !
i think the new adidas gloves are a significant improvement to last year and you have a sensational bat collection.
-
Both sets of kit, are absolutely unreal :D
Very jealous!
-
I really like the red backs. Think im going to have to make them my next port of call :D
-
Yes last years gloves looked awful, i do prefer these pads to the new ones though ,something a little different. Reds, i'll probably being playing 2's this year, it's kind of hit and miss as to what you end up playing against, quite a few ex grade levels aussies play in the 1's over here as well as some pretty quick young indian bowlers. My eyes aren't what they used to be lol, but i still get to play on the home track, and it's a pretty impressive view

singapore??
-
FvanN, i got lucky and picked these up dirt cheap in the Pro direct xmas sale, they knock up beautifully well which i was slightly surprised about as some people have found Gary's pressings a bit hard
-
Fletch aye lad
-
How many grounds/teams/leagues you got there Sherpa? u must travel a bit to Malaysia and Indonesia then for cricket. I grew up playing cricket (JCA League) in Indonesia, this brings back memories of childhood visits to M&Ms and Jurong bird park if remember the name correctly...thanks for the pics of the kit and field :)
-
I have been to that ground and played a few imaginary shots... lovely place, not ideal conditions for cricket very very hot!!
-
got a few choices to make .. but this is the most likely, unless i get one or two other bats knocked in

([url]http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m638/sherpa75/4c3c6e79.jpg[/url])
come on lad get pics up of rest of your kit!
-
i just find it amazing all the different places people play!
-
yes it's as humid as you like, and it can get scorching hot. I really haven't worked out worked out how many grounds there are , a lot of clubs share, there's probably only 3 grass tracks the rest are artificial, but there's more clubs than i'd figured. There's basically four main leagues, consisting between 8 teams in the first division to 14 teams in the 4th division, some clubs like the SCC have more than one team in a league, this club actually runs 7 teams. then there's a whole host of drinking/social teams like the Misfits that i've played on and off for years. There's a little bit of playing in KL in malaysia, and some more social 6-a-side tours to places like Manilla and Jakarta. There's certainly enough cricket going on to keep busy
-
Simmy - modesty prevents me LOL .. not until Mr Hosk gets next season's gear up anyway
-
awwwww some on lad! your collection is amazing!
-
Sherpa - very impressive kit and excellent presentation!!
Don't worry about my kit....I'm still totally undecided on what bats to use but I will be aiming to put some pics up by March.
In the meantime I will admire your kit for sure! Luuusssshhh! 8)
-
singapore??
Great shot there Sherpa, Im Malaysian and spent a few years working in Singapore prior to moving over to Europe. Been to that ground many a time and watched Jayasuria smashing a mental hundred which I think was the world record at that time in the 90s. Small boundaries and extreme humidity had us scrambling for the shade. Great kit collection if I may say so fella.

Damn!! ;)
Seriously, mate--- this is a mindboggling collection and all of them look so bloody good and most are top models as well. You have just taken the art of bat collection to a new level :)
-
wow, so how many bats do you actually have?
-
top top collection, finally someone giving CD a run for his money :)
-
wow, so how many bats do you actually have?
I can count more than 17 looking at this and some others elsewhere :o
-
is the distinction the old or new shape one?
-
This should answer your question:
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=15104.msg241710#msg241710
-
new shape unfortunately Canners, i pleaded with Rob to make me an old shape one, but he wasn't having any of it. I'd love an old shape one as well
-
im hoping to get a few in the old shape
the M&H retro i had was an absolute beast

F##k me sideways!
That is a bloody awesome collection
-
Sherpa that is unreal :).
We need pictures and reviews of every single bat ;)
-
I was going to chuck updated pictures off my kit up, but it will feel inadequate after sherpas amazing kit!
-
Haha me too, I'll leave it a couple of weeks to pass over then slip a couple of pictures in!
In all fairness though, that kit is classy top marks to sherpa :D
-
Brilliant kit Sherpa, looks lovely!
How are those Salix pads? They look classy!
Brilliant!
-
Lovely looking M&H Distinction. All the ones I have seen have ugly grains, but looks as though you've got yourself a good one!
-
Must say the photography makes it look much much more lovely! Pictures and the way they are taken make it more special!

What are those pads?
Itias by the looks of them
-
Yup. Itias Exo.
-
very rare those pads!
-
Have you ever given thought to launching Itias again Tom?
-
very rare those pads!
And very good. Insides aren't in the nicest of condition, but totally molded to my legs now.
Final season for them, more than likely.
-
Have you ever given thought to launching Itias again Tom?
Nah. Too many brands doing the same thing and my focus is on Cricket Insight at the mo.
-
Have you ever given thought to launching Itias again Tom?
I wish! Had the softs the year just gone, so comfy, comfiest ive ever used but sadly they've had too much wear and tear so gotta change :(
-
Itias were fantastic gloves also

I use a Canon Powershot Sx220. In my eyes, this is the best non professional camera i have used. Still trying to get to grips with all its functions though.

Simmy, how can you tell what camera is being used just by the photo?

some grains for Mr Barnfield .. courtesy of Nikon D7000 Simmy .. you've been checking out my metadata haven't you? kit 18-105mm lens though mate, not the usual 35mm f/1.8G i'd normally be working with
(http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m638/sherpa75/46aaaf81.jpg)
-
Excellent stuff! I've picked one of these up and was amazed! Huge piece of wood and picked up so light! Would love to own one of these, but just think the high middle wouldn't be great on Northern puddings!
-
had to wait a while for this one for Rob to find a suitable cleft to make it in 2.9/2.10 , weighs more like 2.13 now though it's double gripped, toed and faced, but it's an absolute monster, wouldn't worry about the middle being too high, reckon it would fly off the toe it's so chunky
-
gotta love the swell on them tho...

got to love the 35mm 1.8! its my fav lens,
havnt used the 50mm since i got mine in summer.
whats the 18-105 like?
-
actually not a bad lens for travelling, works well in between the 35mm and a 70-300 i have in the bag, it's only f/3.5-5.6 though so really got to wind it out to get any depth of field
-
Never ever going to match the quality of photos and locations of some of you chaps but thought there hadn't been much on keeping kit recently. So here's my main kit for behind the stumps for this season.
(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/97notout/DSCN3586.jpg)
Kooks silver classics OSMs with SS half chamios inners, Haddin 1000 pads. Spare gloves to be decided.
Gloves courtesy of a bit of Birthday money :)
-
Simmy, how can you tell what camera is being used just by the photo?
Man that is devotion of ones towards one thing.
If I show you a plain bat you will likely figure out the make so just like that Simmy was able to do that
-

Got some vantage ones for £30 plus postage if interested. Not many pairs left at all..
-
Thanks for the offer I was kind of thinking about a pair from my vast collection.....lol, but I will keep you in mind, I can never have enough kit.....................is that £30 posted ;)
-
haha share your vast collection with us!!! I'll be using custom mades and vnatage as back up i think. Undecided on pads. But looks as though wk practice will be all i get up to this year!

Mmmmmm
-
Thats new Distintion? :S
One I saw had tad higher swell position :S
-
M&Hs often don't have toe guards fitted. Doubt this is an M&H ;)
-
Picked up that bat today (Distinction style one)
And it's a monster!!
Great balance too!
-

What do those gloves look like Sam? Are they the same ones on their website?

yeah like these

Kooks pads need a bit of work just to supple them up so they wrap around the leg better, I have big calf muscles and the straps on the pads are still a bit long so I may just trim them. I don't know what the weight of them is at present. Theres not a lot to them, thereagain thats why we have gloves. The top half of the pads is attached by three strong strips of elastic and allow ease of movement.
I suppose the best test will be behind the stumps. We'll see.

Morrant Ultralights
Bradbury Pads
H4L Hattori 2.9
GN stickered as a Quantum LE 2.7
Woodworm Torch Signed by Kevin Pietersen
Millichamp and Hall Solution 2.10
New Ayrtek Elite Pads
Slazenger Duffle
Middle Row: New Ayrtek Premier Matte Green with silver pinstripes and new grey steel grille

GN Quantum 5 Star back up gloves from last year.
Puma Evolution gloves Player issue for Ben Wright Small men's Pittard palms well used!
-
When I first played you I thought you were from the forum as those puma gloves were doing the rounds on here at that time.
Get a titanium grill on that ayrtek!
-
In fact I may be able to sort you out a cheap ayrtek titanium grill
-
Wasn't pn the forum at that stage got them on eBay but I can see why you thought that.
Great gloves must have been 2 years since we played eachother now!
Its in the picture there somewhere, its on now, like it a lot, my first Ti grille
-
How do you rate the Ayrtek Elite Pads mate as I'm very tempted...
-
Oh yeah, I see the Ti grill now, Tom is going to out pinstripes on my ayrtek.
First played you in 2009 for our seconds, it all go a bit ugly and there was nearly a fight. Then our 10/11 knocked of 30 to win the game.
Last played you in 2010 for the first team when you got promoted. That was also a bit ugly, you shoulder barged me in my follow through! After I removed your 2nd and 3rd batsmen!
-
Rate them very highly, I got them from HQ yesterday, need some wearing in to make them more supple but thats the same with all pads?
The straps are not all that long but I have large calfs and got them round fine.
The straps are very well padded to so wont dig into your legs.
-
Oh I think I remeber that first game now, didn't it rain a bit?
As for shoulder barging, I can only appologise. I can sort of remember it but not vividly.
Athough i think I had 48* that day!
-
The rainy one at your place was is 2010, I hit 49 in that one. I remember your dsigust everytime I played my flat bat baseball pull shot thing through mid on from outside off!
-
As for my kit, I will get it all up at the end of the month when i have it all back. Will have my ayrtek back from Tom and hopefully my talisman back from mike who says I will have it by the weekend
-
I'm beginning to worry that you will never see that Talisman again...
-
He emailed me on Sunday saying the bat was rehandled, it's just needed a clean up and I'd have it by the weekend.
I'll get it one way or another, he is within driving distance!
-
Is it coming back with new stickers too?
-
Well if it's been rehandled then I hope so! Guess that what he means by clean up. Got a set of revolution stickers hear anyway if need be
-
rp 27 have tried to pm you re wicket keeping gloves I have but your in box is full, you still after some?

-
anyone noticed trends for this season? a lot less concaving maybe?? i guess a lot less people are being seduced by big edges and flat faces. Now we just need to work on getting people back in cable knit jumpers rather than those ghastly golfers shellsuit type things and i'll be happy
-
just found this pic and made me laugh how much my kit has changed....then again its helped me narrow down what i like and what i dont like!
(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/tom_ayrtek/CIMG1696-1.jpg)
-
I think there's a different set of kit on every page of my photo bucket account!

Totally agree with you, my club will only allow us to wear cable knit jumpers, they're expensive, look great, keep you warm and the ladies love them. Quite how anyone could think a white fleece tank top is a step up is beyond me...I doubt the idea came from Britain! :D
-
sherpa, you are welcome to join me at Walton heath sometime, you will feel right at home.
-
awweee thanks Buzz, you're making me feel homesick!!
-
I'll have to get some pics up of my new kit. It's all changed except my keeping stuff
-
one of the best grounds to play in Singapore. ball comes on nicely to the bat. and the setting is gorgeous.
Yes last years gloves looked awful, i do prefer these pads to the new ones though ,something a little different. Reds, i'll probably being playing 2's this year, it's kind of hit and miss as to what you end up playing against, quite a few ex grade levels aussies play in the 1's over here as well as some pretty quick young indian bowlers. My eyes aren't what they used to be lol, but i still get to play on the home track, and it's a pretty impressive view

Was that Talisman always a Perfect Storm?

Nice matching orange trim Liam! Hope you like those pads!
-
Was that Talisman always a Perfect Storm?
Think it's just a storm, may be wrong though.
-
Nice matching orange trim Liam! Hope you like those pads!
Always got to match it up! The Ayrtek doesn't fit in with its green stickers but its good enough to not have to!
Oh and the pads are top notch, just like every other pair of kook pads, bets on the market i reckon!
Was that Talisman always a Perfect Storm?
The bat wasn't actually a Talisman and originally had Storm stickers on, it just came back from repair with Perfect Storm stickers.

Here is my kit, probably the ugliest mix of colours on this board. Oh, I use the Aero pads not because I like them but because I was in a car accident many years ago and have some damage to the legs which normal pads don't cover. I feel like a right idiot in them but it's either wear them or give up cricket, dye my hair white and go play bowls. ;)
Love the grains and outside heartwood on my BAS Blaster.

Fielding grill on your lid?
-
Took one off the throat a few years back. Decided breathing was more important than looking like a fool. ;)
-
you play in coloured kit or do you wear them blue pads with your whites?
-
I bet you get some serious stick for that grille.
-
Yep. I do. The pads are worse than the grille and yes all coloured kits here. No whites.
-
Okay so after foolishly listening to you English lot (I'm Canadian, in the commonwealth rankings we are below the British and Kiwis but well above the Aussies) I put on my regular titanium grille this morning. Today in the nets, I edged it and have a nice mark on my chin. Thank you big brother England, thank you. ;)
-
Lol, not having any luck are you? Like the black pads though :D
-
Lol I have been playing for nearly 15 years I expect and I have never been hit on the head.
-
Your lucky mate, whenever I edge I get caught behind!
-
Liam: My chin doesn't feel lucky...
Nickauger: I'm crap. Absolute crap. Born and raised here in Canada. To compare think of a British born and raised ice hockey player... how good are they really going to be?
fletcheruk: Yah yah yah, the pads. I heard several remarks in Urdu today from a team coming in to the nets. I'm white Canadian but have been playing with Pakistanis enough to know their mockery.
-
Ha, was just joking. Play in what ever you feel comfortable mate! As long as you like it then your fine!
-
Ha, was just joking. Play in Wang ever you feel comfortable mate! As long as you like then your fine!
Always play with my Wang Liam haha

Yeah, you know what I was saying about auto correct earlier!

You know I put money on this not changing? Here's the thing, it has. Swapping out that ayrtek premier for an ayrtek elite. Hope that's acceptable!
-
that's definitely acceptable Liam, so long as it's still got your initials on it or you've lost your bet!!
-
I will be getting some initials sent down from Ayrtek HQ to put on it!
-
If its not then give me a shout for Elite and I'll make it acceptable ;-)
-
Boom I win the bet :)

(http://i40.tinypic.com/w9dydd.jpg)
(http://i43.tinypic.com/dhammc.jpg)
However, all is not what it seems - as I am no 'Jonny Flashpants' most of these are for selling or swapping at my club, for a little beer money. I shall only keep about 2 in the old kitbag (even though I am now a proper batsman!)
-
Fattus, what is the bat on the foremost left, squire?
-
Definitely a joker with those sticker marks
-
And that Joker/Jester pings big time!
That's the one Roco almost hit me with in the nets :(
-
Looks like the one that went from Fattus to me, and then onto you, is it?
-
Bat: Adidas Incurza V1.0 Pro
Helmet: Masuri with Steel Grille
Gloves: GN Predator 4 star
Pads: Slazenger x-tec shield (looking to buy new ones)
Spikes: Puma Calibre convertible
Trainers: adidas howzat II
puma thigh pad and arm guard

@Fattus: what happened to PING? :(

It's that SS stickered Canterbury, far right, that did it for me when I saw Bruce's bats....that's a real beauty! Big bat, great pickup.....It was a limited edition one wasn't it mate?
-
Yes, it's limited to Proper Batsmen only.
-
Bat 1 and Bat 3 look like heavy weights!! Would like to have a go on Bat 1 :D
-
that robinsons is a big overdried lump of 2lbs 9 oz - it is a really lovely bat.

Guessing you dropped the Y3's off with Steve today? Bet they're going to look nice spiked!
-
They should, Orange edition and purely for batting so will look like new at the end of the season.
-
Keep ur 12 vent RAW under wraps....there's a few people vying for them ;)

-

I'm telling simmy! He's even contemplating taking a dremel to his!
-
Haha we did have a short conversation yesterday to point out the dangers of this DIY project!!
-
pics of the y3's mate
-
I would settle for a a normal RAW at the moment. Although the 12 vents look mega cool!
-
Haha we did have a short conversation yesterday to point out the dangers of this DIY project!!
He's not the most patient person I know, it would look like a collider when he's finished with it :(
-
im not doing it lol ive just not heard back from paul the carbon guy lol so i dont think hes keen either lol
-
Bat 1 and Bat 3 look like heavy weights!! Would like to have a go on Bat 1 :D
Bat 1 is around 2.11 and Bat 3 is 2.9 I can wield both with equaly vigour.
Bat 2 is around 2.8 by the feel of it!
-
Have had a word with our manufacturer so waiting to see what they say about a very limited edition run of them ;)
-
well can i send mine back for 12 vents lol
-
Haha means re-patching and extra work
-
i know u have told me lol
get it sorted!
12 vents!
and magnetic clip!
-
Just stating it to avoid u having me bombarded with PM's from anyone else thinking its an easy task!
These magnetic clip demands are really growing :)
-
Stop talking about 12 vents, your making me jealous of all the pros that are good enough to warrant them!
Fattus is that the joker that you sold to me?
-
i know u have told me lol
get it sorted!
12 vents!
and magnetic clip!
Dream helmet!
-
the talks have begun :P

-
Magnetic clips sound very cool, not necessary at all - but I want one already.
-
the talks have begun :P

Its alright Simmy, you're a day late on that one!
-
I've got 12 vents and must be a Pro, thanks Liam....
-
You must have plied Tom with copious amounts of Willow and cider to get one away from his safe!
-
No, he's got loads in the office, cheaper too as less carbon fibre in it...
-
I like that thinking, lighter as well then!
-
Mike pictures of your kit please when you can :D
12 vents sound good, Tom you have a email :D 8)
-
Here is my kit for 2012 :D

Thanks furry face!! Wish we did but alas it's not the case as they aren't a stock item and were specially made for CKS
-
What about the box of them next to the box of biscuits?
-
That's for special customers only...those who spend over £500 get VIP treatment....too a free biscuit!
-
Well I may have sold a few today, will be following it up on Monday.
-
TomTek I thought I was special customer :( :(
-
You can have a free biscuit mate...might be a bit crumbly by the time it's reached u tho mate!!
Fine work furry face...fresh stock due soon as demand is rife
-
When I got there Arul was using his in the middle.
-
Will you be going up to Taunton on Monday/tuesday mike?
-
It all depends on the weather, one of the 2, if not both at some point.
-
I will probably go Tuesday if the weathers good and the games set nicely
-
Here is my kit for 2012 :D

-
from a fellow forum member
-
Any pics of the RPC yet Reds?
-
No buddy not yet. Will sort out photos of everything when I have it :)
-
I've seen it :D
-
My Gear:
SS 309 weight unknown - this is my wet weather/net bat very low middle, not a particularly large middle but I know when I find it that's for sure! cost me £20 last season 2nd hand.
H4L 666 Monster 2'12 - I'm sure needs no explaining but goes like a gun!
Newbery GT Players 2'9 (I think) - My Jekyll and Hyde bat. Absolutely love this bat with a passion, huge middle and amazing pick up, unfortunately has had a crack on toe and shoulder on inside edge on its lifetime so i always worry when digging out a yorker.

After having a good net outdoors this afternoon in the sun, I thought I would take a few pics of my 2012 kit whilst getting it out of the boot.
Apologies for the photo quality as I only had my phone to hand:
Bats-
Newbery Grizzly 3lb 2oz - One hell of a special piece of wood
Newbery Zeus 3lb 1oz - Massive oval handle, picks up much lighter than it's deadweight. A Mr Brimble special
AS V3 3lb - New purchase for the season
JS Wright blank, 2lb 14oz - picked from Steve's garage in Stoke last year. Big profile, stickered up with Puma M&H. All bats have anti scuff and 2 x grips
Puma Calibre tricks spikes
Puma Iridium 4000 gloves & Pads
Puma Cobalt 4000 gloves
Puma Iridium 5000 gloves

Looks very good in particular AS V3, big fan of that

Cheers Cover Drive, i'm curious to see how the AS performs. It feels and looks great, nice profile etc.
-
Loving the newbery bats and puma softs great combination!!
Were is your lid mate? (that is if you use one!)

The best bat collection (grains wise?)
-
Scott, my lid is an old Albion. Does the job.
Of I was a better batsman then I would definately punt for an ayrtek. Love them.
I find puma softs superb. I'm oversized men's and they are the most generous in sizings.
-
They are mega big bats. Do you play for Bromsgrove cc mate?.
-
Hi Blazer, have played a bit for Bromsgrove over the years but I'm back at Chaddesley Corbett. I netted this morning with the guys from Bromsgrove.
Who do you play for?
-
I play for Redditch 2nd's and 3rd's buddy. I know Adam Gailey who plays for Bromsgrove currently, He used to play for us. :)
-
I saw Adam today. Good batsman, nice guy.

Just got a albion 98 original yesterday. Very decent. Yeah I would invest in an ayrtek to if I had the tallent! but I'm a tail-ender so I don't see the point. (at the moment!) and yeah I am a sucker for puma kit! especially their softs.
How did you get the Zeus with cadbury stickers?
-
Surely the worst batsmen need the better lids as they're more likely to get sconned?
If you were an awesome batsmen you'd just hook it out the ground instead
-
The Zeus was sourced by Mike (Talisman) he knew exactly what I was after and it exceeded my expectations. Cadbury stickers are pretty rare nowadays.
-
I see your logic but I'f you are a tailender like myself you don't get much oportunity to bat i.e less chance of being hit on the noggin! Hopefully one day I will be able to come in and open and Pull a bouncer out of the ground ;)
Nice, They look very smart mate. Very jelous!
-
pedaloboy- your kit looks top notch mate :).
Need to update my kit as it's completely different to when I put it up before hand aha!

welcome to the symptoms with your cash know as Forum Effect of Consuming Kit In Tirades.......or FECKIT for short!

Haha! well I don't need anything else now so that's okay. Managed to sell my Kookaburra pads to a mate too and I've got some other bits and bobs to sell of to make some money back

The number of people on here (me included) that have probably said to themselves I don't need anything else...........but... :D
-
I'm sure something will catch my eye plus money tends to burn a hole in my pocket!
-
Thought it was about time i put my current bats that i currently have before there are any additions. I have placed them from left to right on performance, but to be fair the first 3 are all very good, still not 100% sold on the L&W Reserve maybe it is one of these bats that takes a while to truly be played in.

These won't be everybodys cup of tea but some of the keepers out there might be interested. I've been cleaning up a pair of 1977 Alan Knott 'Test' gloves by Slazenger. Had them re faced by John Copus and as I'm playing vets cricket (supposedly friendly and played in the right spirit of the game) I might give them an outing or two.

(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/97notout/DSCN3674.jpg)
Still really supple and so good (well I think so)
I paid £65 for them new in 1977, my first months wages blown in one foul swoop.

How come no branding on EDNA?
EDNA is pure, and shall remain so... I'm not putting SAF on her as she was just homework and something i fell in love with. I made another Gertrude who is up in Derby, but EDNA is jus my experiment and a dead cert for the cup games and t20 this year.
Match bat though is the Hades... as you can see she has already been peppered by our resident south african and his relentless efforts to remove my head!! ha ha... good luck with that!! PULL!!! 8)

Cheers Marcus :) like the look of the toweling on the thumb, very good idea
-
Love the softs, think I'll have to purchase for next season :D
Thanks for the call Marcus, was nice to have a quick chat with you.
-
Thanks for the photos Marcus. The gloves are the cleverest innovation after SAF Hades. I wonder why no one came up with such a solution earlier.

Got off a forum member boss.

Hmmm like SAF stickers, well truth be told I like everything SAF..... :D
oh less of the 'boss' please.. ;)
Anybody know if the towel thumb on the SAF glove is slightly padded?
-
If its like M&H then it will be thick. Quite thicker than leather which is on gloves usually

Couldn't get used to the SL22s mate didn't feel right on my feet, I really like the adidas shoes I have now though! Very comfy IMO, and I agree with you though they do look superb the SL22s, one of the nicest lookings shoes on the market
-

H4L is a gun! Absolute gun! The woodstock goes well, so does the Bulldog. Yet to use the scoop, will do soon though :)
-
Nice nice, I'm contemplating but a pair of SL22, I can't take my eyes off them as they are stunning. For me by far THE best ones in the market
That's good to hear! The Scoop I got is very good indeed, was impressed with it
-
I'd recommend them if you haven't got ridiculously wide feet like myself haha!
H4L will be my match stick undoubtedly possibly the best bat I've ever had
-
Haha no I have normal feets lol
-
You'll get on perfectly with them then :)
-
I presume the Blenhiem is the Bulldog?
Bullheim or Blendog anyone?

They're about 8 years old I think Roco, from the days before Adidas spikes were widely available. Possibly even from South Africa?
-
Well they look good for 8 years old as been used once but cheers for info
-

What gives you that impression Johnny lol :D
-
I would have thought so with all that kit lol
-
I miss having the Gold Adidas's :(
-
no i'm not personally sponsored but everyone at my club has willostix and my dad knows andy quite well so i get quite a bit of discount, but i got the bag for christmas so don't really know how he got that done
-
We're all looking at this now, shocked!
-
screen printed onto the bag which would be done at source when making them up....nice touch by the boys!
-
yer i do like the touch on the bag and i just like the traditional style of the pads but the slugger was a bit of an out there investment but it's massive but picks up so light
-
Yeah i got to pick up Jack Brooks when at Wormsley with the Willowstix lads and was a very impressive bat for the spec
-
Yer they are very impresive bats and was his a stix or an anaconda
-
he was using the slugger
-
ow right yer they are massive for their weights, mines a 2.11 and the edges look so good plus it picks up so light for a 2.11

-

how on earth do you know what to choose?!
I had made my mind that I will only be using Screaming Cat as my match bat this year, so I have been quite successful in sticking to it and using it for past few months. Same thing with gloves, have been using Salix for past two months while I change pads every now and then but maroon ones are match pads.
-
I'm my CD, your a kit whore haha.
how do you choose which bat to use week on week? Don't think I could decide lol
-
LOL - I have been using SCAT for a while and that is basically my match bat this year.
When its off season I ust random bats, try to use the un-used ones. Some are still brand new like Custom GM Oblivion LE :( It is stonker shame it hasn't been used :(

Nice kit and impressive stash of willow hoarding there fella! 8)
Niiicccceeee!

He had even more, but he has thinned it out over the last couple of months.

Just as well, otherwise he'd need a bigger bedroom!!!

he always was a glove man though...

Those two MBs and UT bats are not mine, they are just in picture.
Langer, gloves were around 24 once but now that count has decreased significantly.
Bat count is more or less still the same.
Thanks Pete, for me a house works, don't need a mansion yet ;)

Little bit of my kit im using this year well not all will be used.
-
Some very nice bats there Watson. what's the Genesis like? I always liked that bat
-
Lovely mate! Love those GN gloves
-
the genesis is the top of the range version however to be honest its not mine although im the only one who uses it and at the minute its my match bat until the Redback is ready and i can then give it back to my team mate but it will be hard to let go as its superb although i wouldnt say at present im using it that well.
The Powerbow test gloves are a dream of a glove and im not sure i will use any other glove until these drop off as im so fussy about pads and gloves and many many ive had i didn't like.
-
I have tried so hard to find those gloves but was unable to find them in MRH, if you know any place hook me up pal
-
That genesis is lovely, wish I'd had bought a few of those kook bats when they were around!
-
I'd love to try one of those illegal kooks! ;)
-
lovely kit watson mate...how are those funky pads?
-
Just taken receipt of the 2 bats to finish my 'collection'...will post up pics later all things being equal.
-
I'm stunned by the amount of 'tackle' that has been accumulated by you guys (in a good way). I'm just waiting for a bowler to put up just a pic of a ball - and maybe his bowling boots. :D

Did someone say something about cricket balls?!?
(http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h412/junter97/DSC_0153.jpg)
-
Are they all yours? :o
-
Lovely, how are those Dukes County balls?
-
Your ball bag must be huge....
-
They all live upstairs in a big draw, I usually take about 8 in my kit bag to training. Being a captain of a side for a season or two really does mean I collect a few balls.
@CoverDrive they are very good balls, provided by the league this season. They keep their shine well and swing a lot which is nice. There are better balls in that heap though
-
Cheers, which one is that white one?
-
Just a cheap slazenger one, it's a 2 star one. Not great not awful
-
at one point earlier in the year i had about 36 brand new balls with no more than 3 of the same kind, purchased them all as testing samples for our league and then donated them to the association to try them out in the nets..hence the pink, yellow, white and red marks on my bats :)...

lovely kit watson mate...how are those funky pads?
They are OK bud i picked them up cheap last season, nice pad with great protection but i change pads like you wouldnt believe so im looking for something else.
Found the perfect glove but not found the perfect pad although morrants were close.
-
I'd love to try one of those illegal kooks! ;)
I had the beast with the carbon back but sold it to the second team captain and hes scored lots with it and its superb, should of kept it but thats life.

The Line-up: Faces!(http://s16.postimage.org/4qcuy8net/DSC_0346.jpg)
From L-R...
Hunts County Rapide (basically same shape as a Mjolnir) 2'11
Mongoose MMi3 Super Premium (apparently previously owned by pro - proper rocket, especially when the wicket or bowlers are slow) 2'9
Laver & Wood Ultra (got a few bruises!) 2'8
Hell4Leather Hattori (my wet weather/lend to team-mates bat!) 2'11
TK Performance Lam (Stickered with M&H Retro stickers - I trimmed this down from 2'12 to 2'10 and shifted the middle up changed the bat completely, super moveable and super solid in the shot) 2'10
M&H Distinction (2010 model, recently acquired and refurbed, looks and feels like new, a great example of the bat, admittedly bought as a colectors piece, though it's certainly not staying clean for long!) 2'10
M&H Distinction (2011 model, aka 'Boris', when my eye in and feeling confident is in this is literally unstoppable). 2'11
M&H Amplus (Own up, I acquired this out of curiosity, and a real clubber of a bat...the middle is huge and long and wide. If the bounce is true and high, this turns every connection into boundary time) 2'13
M&H Master (Pics do the talking ;) ) 2'14
Screaming Cat Series 3 2'10
Screaming Cat Series 1 2.12 (Only used these tentatively in nets - they were purchased with the request that the wood would be here for a long time, not just a good time, and I can't deny that when I received them I was expecting better grainage for my money, though the playing of them is just...and this is no hyperbole...unbelievable. Almost too unbelievable. I know it's the 'norm' to write a gushing review from even just a few shadow shots, though the ball comes off these throughout the face with the sort of rebound that seems to defy physics. To be honest I'm not convinced there's been some special shortcut that they haven't been pressed or something and I expect them to start cracking any time soon. They're just too good! So want to play them for a bit - I just don't believe the sort of performance they were born with can possibly last!

That's an incredible collection, Dan - well done! And I second what you say about the Screaming Cats - having knocked them in for you, I know they are both absolute beauties - unbelievable ping!!
-
I've never used M&H and at the moment I couldn't afford to :S but they do look class, and the accessories look awesome too.
Those Scat bat covers look pretty sweet too
-
Corr love the profiles on those distinctions. Great collection.
-
Just saw them and Dan they are amazing! Love them! As Rob said where do you keep getting those 2010 models Distinction from?!
Those Screaming Cat looks lovely, but is it me or what that Series 1 (on right in profile pictures) seem to have lower swell compared to Series 3 on left?
-
Some serious money in those sticks, esp the M&H ones! Lovely collection!

Check their website (google screaming cat jullian millichamp) but i think they are all above 600 AUD...

Aussie bats are stupidly priced, I saw bats over there for $1,000 (£750ish) for your top of the range GN.

Think I will stick to UK made stuff, I cant believe that a SCAT is so much better than my SAF that it warrents the massive price.... Even £400 for some GM's and others over here is a waist...

Tell me about it, the exact same bat over here costs around $550 but over there it is the equivalent of $320, same bat but a lot more expensive. Another thing that I don't understand is that our economy has been doing so well, yet the prices of cricket gear has not come down, it's bloody ridiculous.
The most expensive bat over here is the GN Legend and that costs $799 - £514. Dunno where you got £1000 from.

I was over there during the last cricket season, and saw a bat in Greg Chapple for $950. It was a GN and did look a nice stick wasn't a Legend though, I remember saying to my mate you have got to be kidding 1k for a bat?

I thought I'd just stick up a picture of the ridiculous amount of kit I've managed to gain since the season started

3 grills and 2lids is impressive bud

I'd happily be left with the TLB pads, strippers, Ayrtek Lid/Bat/Gloves, boots and Talisman if anyone else wants to buy the rest!

Lovely kit Liam!
Need to get a picture of my kit, it's completely different from the beginning of the season haha!

Couldn't agree more mate, makes you want to do something cricket related so buying kit is the way to go haha

Cheers CD!s...With regards to the 2010 models, I use a Ebay RSS feed matched with deep pockets! I've only ever owned 2, and you know I regretted selling my first one to you as soon as it left with the courier!
And I think the S3 has the lower swell, even in the photo!

Bats: GN Nitro Extreme 3lb, Hunt's County Metal 2lb11oz, GM Halo 606 2lb13oz and a £30 thing off of eBay that is a bit crap which is 2lb14oz
Pads: Puma Calibre froma couple of years ago
Gloves: Kooka CCX and Kooka Blade
Shoes: Asics Gel Speed Menace, as I need the extra ankle support. Surprisingly comfortable to bat in!
Lid: Albion Club with steel Grille
Bag: GN Nitro Wheelie

It's a couple of years old and strating to go in a couple of places. The plastic covering over the wood on the bottom has gone though...:s
-
it seems that the rain has caused me to go from 1 bat to 7 bats!!!!!!!!!!
and it s 8 bats if you count the 1 extra thin training bat (i hacksawed the edges off a bat that broke!!!)
I'll post some pics up

Hopefully mine will last till the end of the season. I'm only playing sundays at the minute anyway, so it should do...
I'll probably need new pads at the end of the season too, as the straps are looking like they're about to go on mine!

I started the season, bright-eyed and bushy tailed with the following:

Well, the Newbery was sold to someone on here and the Kook (from the Hut sale) went to a good friend who has proceeded to score plenty with it - lovely bat. This paid for a stonking Bombora from ProWannabe, which is unbelievably good.
Here are the results of a slew of called off matches, the stress of arranging teams for these games, a broken finger from fielding too close to a fat lad with a laminate on a cold rainy night in a Cotswold backwater, an enthusiastic & talented Father-in-Law and a bonus burning a hole in my pocket...
(http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/fake_street_spirit/Bats/Cricket/DSC_0387.jpg)
Laver & Wood Private Bin (2.9); The FiL Griffin (2.12); Hunts Kounty Kelsall Wet Weather Special (2.8/9); Blueroom Bombora 1+ (haven't weighed it; perfection); Redback Paradox LE (2.10)

How many sticks now Tom? But more importantly, how many are the correct weight now? ???
-
correct weighted stickers are 3, Evo, Hattori, powerbow and soon to be 4th with the rogue coming too :)

Last years kookaburra rogue 850s 2 pairs of the gloves and a pair of pads :)
Easily the best softs I've ever owned bar my Ayrtek gloves I had
-
I aint going to find any of them kicking around easily! They look awesome. :(
-
I'll be sorting more pictures out when my bat arrives so that will make you even more jealous haha!
Managed to remove the logo off the front of the pads with some nail polish remover too, look class :D

That DP looks a beaut mate
-
Yh the DP is very nice, its actually my mates but after he raved about it he got a few poor scores so gave it to me to use for the season. Ive used it a few times but that Salix there is by far the best bat ive ever had. Its a prototype flat faced bat from Andrew and it goes like an absolute rocket.
-
Did you get that foam facing on the training bat from Owzat?
-
yes i did junter97. bargain at £10 inc p+p.
-
How do you find it, is it easy to apply and does it stick well?
-
My kit is as follows
Bats:
Gray Nicolls A61
Salix Falx Performance
SG RSD PRO
and i should have a CA 10000plus arriving tomorrow
Pads:
Adidas Adipure
Gloves:
Salix pod pro
Gray Nicolls legend
Mongoose premium
Lid:
Masuri Titanium
Bag:
Gray Nicolls nitro
Pics to follow when photobucket works :)
-
Is it just me or the Dp looks smaller than salix ?
-
Junter,
The foam has stuck really well so far and the ball rebounds really well. The foam is actually a little softer than that of the original skyer but i think because of the hard service underneath it gives it good rebound.
Dan
-
If you mean shorter than its because its slightly lower on the sofa.
-
Ok cheers mate! :)
-
Everything ive got, bar a ca bat which still hasnt arrived!

Hi everyone. I have some nice bats I would like to upload but am struggling so far. I have uploaded photos to "photo bucket" but have hit a brick wall.
help please?

On the info button when hovering/pressing on the pic, choose the IMG option. It will say copied. Paste the link.

For some reasons for me it was easier on the laptop but could not do it on my phone.

paste it where in the comment box?

Hope this worked. I have only used the M&H (formerly a L&W PB)...safe to say it is the best bat I have ever used. Handle has been replaced once by L&W and still goes great. Weighs 2.7 and is perfect for me as I love to pull and cut. Have not used any of the other bats yet but the Legend feels amazing. Its weight is 2.8.
MG2 Sanga 2.8
GM Apex 2.8
Masterclass 2.8
Bradman 2.9
SS KP 2.8
I will endeavor to post a review of the Legend at some stage.

Are your all your bats LH/LB like the H4L Tim? The hades looks like real beauty, don't know how I could choose between those bats.

No, there's a mix of LHLB, LB and VLH, + some SHs.

The slaz needs a bit of work but it is about 16 years old.
Oh how times change, I was cleaning up some of my kit and taking pics of my new shamrock kit today so thought I'd see how its changed from pre-season. I now have this lot:

Still have the redback and bulldog bats but have sold the puma and given the old v12 to my club kit. Pads, gloves and helmet all changed - the matching ayrtek elite pads and gloves are really good and the ayrtek club gloves are good too. New shamrock pads are really light and comfy and the ayrtek titanium lid is great. Also picked up other stuff like a sidearm, GM duffle and various bits.
I'v realised with the exception of my aero box/strippers and the bags I've gone for forum brands - I reckon my next bags will be off here too (maybe a shamrock duffle or ayrtek bag) so come next season I might be completely kitted out off here.
