Thanks for setting us up so quickly, Arvind.
Some of you may know us from Cricket Insight, but greetings to anyone who doesn't. We are a new cricket specialist shop in London, www.itsjustcricket.co.uk.
We are excited to be one of the sponsors of this forum and look forward to some stimulating debate on this site.
We are also interested in stocking some niche brands/custom made bats in our store in the near future, so we look forward to learning more about the manufacturers' respective offerings.

Welcome to the site! I wish you all the success in your venture. Will you be offering any forum member special deals?
-
Thanks, Tom - your recommendation worked! :-)
In the spirit of fairness, we will be offering occasional forum deals/discounts, yes, so do keep your eyes peeled for those...
-
Welcome to the forum and 20-40% off website prices will be greatly appreciated along with pictures of all new kit ;)
-
Welcome aboard Paul....hope the shop is taking shape and things and keeping you busy!

Excellent website, really really good. One thing though - drop the 'for Amateur Cricketers', makes it sound, well, amateur.
-
Have you written a bit of your own description for the products? If so, that's awesome!
-
Thanks, I know our marketing manager would disagree with you strongly about the amateur thing - but I'll mention it to him nonetheless - interested to get other people's thoughts on this? We noticed that no other cricket shop is quite so precise and tailored in their message, so we thought it would be quite welcoming and unique. We don't expect to sell to the pros or semi-pros either, so we don't feel it's too restrictive, but still open to suggestions?
Yes, in some cases I have done a bit of writing in the product descriptions- need to do a lot more, but I guess that certain products excite me more than others, so I can get a bit carried away...
The "about us", "club commission", "FAQs" etc. has all come from my pen - glad you like it.
-
I just get so annoyed with the whole marketing drivel that the company supplies, it's much better to hear the opinion of a person not tuned to just sell the product, but to recommend as well.
-
Helps get your google rating up as well which is always a good idea!

I know what you mean Joe but you can't very well put 'For the professional cricketers' then it sounds like your up your own (No Swearing Please) lol. The concept of offering bespoke and custom products from 'lesser known companies' but IMO are superior products, all in one store seems very appealing and unique Good Luck. :D

Welcome. Where abouts in London are you? Looks like you've got some top gear on your site

Yeah for the professional would sound really stupid, I just think for the amateur, well, it could be improved

A happy medium maybe :D

Our shop is in Walworth, just off Walworth Road and a short walk from the Oval/Elephant & Castle etc.
Regarding the amateur thing, we did think about some other generic words to describe non-professionals, but amateur seemed to be the only umbrella term that covered all the categories in one word (including youth/colts etc.) Not convinced about club cricketers, weekend cricketers etc. and if you start listing ie. club, village, league, colt etc. it just gets too long!
-
A happy medium maybe :D
For the Semi-Proffesional Cricketer? :D
-
On a serious note, how about just for the cricketer?
-
Welcome to the forum, a newbie just like us. Here's to hoping your stay is a fruitful one. All the best.

No worries!
-
Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome and support. As a start-up, this means a lot to us.
Not much criticism on the site so far, which in one sense is pleasing, but we still want to develop it as much as possible: has anyone got any suggestions on how we can improve it in any way?

There doesn't seem to be much choice of weights available. Maybe this is because you haven't recieved all your stock yet?
-
Yes, thanks - good call - it's partly the fact that we're still waiting on some stock, but also that we have concentrated more around 2.8-2.10, perhaps too heavily concentrated in light/medium weight range. We'll work on this.
-
Small point but i personally prefer to see wicket keeping separated into pads and gloves
-
Way just on your website and the GM Epic Original doesn't seem to say what weight it will come in.
-
Corrected the GM Epic Original, so that it now includes the weight. Changing the wicket keeping thing won't be as easy, but we will at least consider. Good comments, thanks.

Welcome aboard Tall!
Quick question: do you deduct the VAT for international orders?
Cheers

Where are you based, Kaustav? If it's outside of the UK and EU we won't charge VAT, so you can deduct 20% from our listed prices...

That's cool; thanks mate.

Just thought I'd put a quick comment on here to say that i received my ayrtek helmet today from itsjustcricket. Paul was a good bloke to deal with, the price was great and he and sorted out quick delivery for me, if you're after any new kit I'd recommend taking a look at their site.

Thanks, Graham, appreciate that - glad you like the helmet too.

The Ayrtek Helmet is an amazing bit of kit!
Very very comfortable, even for fiddly batsman and the helmet has been very engineered to take some serious punishment without dismantling the batters head. Lol, as demonstrated by Barker below, probably saved his life and a hefty dentist bill!
