IT looks like ravi bopara has signed with SS, he just posted three new bats he got on twitter
Ravi Bopara @ravibopara
Just had 3 new bats arrive from SS. Incredibly light 4 their size. Look forward to testing them out http://yfrog.com/nwqxjwlj

the look like serious bats wouldnt mind one of them :P
-
one looks like a size four compared to t'others!
-
Love the look of those. Guessing he used to use Warsop's with GM stickers being as he's an Essex lad?
-
id say he used SS with gm stickers tbh
-
Surprised he hasn't just changed the stickers back over on his GMs lol
-
I'm pretty sure that GM wouldn't give hime stickers to put on SS or Warsop bats.....

He must've used the eBay fakes recently then lol. Companies must be aware of players doing this and choose to ignore it.
-
He was peeling stickers off GMs and sticking them on SS bats.

Proper CSI-age going on with the above pic Tom! A for effort!
-
This one pic doesn't mean GM can't provide good enough bats, just means for whatever reason he wanted to use that SS bat.
Players stickering up bats is a headache and GM did the right thing in dropping him/not renewing the contract - lots of companies turn a blind eye to it.
-
To be fair to GM, he is very superstitious and in bad form changes bats, he only ever had a couple of Warsops after he signed for GM and as they do not need to sticker bats had to peel and use fibre tape to secure.
You seem to get better cricketing insight knowing people rather than purely observing.

Must change them every day then!
-
This deal should help him as now he can spend less time faffing around with stickers and more time working on his batting :)
-
Amen
-
Those stickers on his new SS bats look crap
-
Those bats are horrendous. Haven't read through the rest of the topic, but what do we reckon they are? ;)
-
SS Gladiator.
-
Lol, I was worried that might fall on deaf ears.
-

That's cos he peeled them off and stuck them on GM bats.

There we go!!!!! :D
-
just me who likes them then, a guy at my club had a ss ton t20 and hated it mind, id still quite like to give one of them a go though

Title would of been better if it was.....
Ravi Bopara goes to Buzz's cricketing School

proper village that is
-
Ravi did not do a great job stickering up his pads :O

-
haha good spot.
-
ugly helmet that.
-
Just seen a clip about him on sky sports news, he hasn't even bothered covering up the GM logos on his pads like the last pic in the thread, just left a nice big white GM logo there!

He doesn't seem like a player who'd be too bothered. SS wont be happy though, unless they haven't got any white pads to him yet(unlikely but possible) ?
-
you say that about the white pads but in the odi the other day the gm labels werent covered up at all
-
Don't understand this from R.B, SS do very similar pads, as W.I opener Barath used them in the test series?!
-
yeah i was just thinking that, barath's pads are nigh on identical to bopara's unless its some odd sponsorship for just bats and gloves or something odd
-
ugly helmet that.
Interesting point that, and it's true.
I remember when he was dropped from tests, and was playing county kept his GM helmet but taped over the 3 lions badge.
I didn't know if it was cos the helmet was comfy, lucky or if it was a statement to the ECB letting them know he was still there.
-
His bat looks shocking with 'TON' instead of 'SS' on the stickers
-
The whole of his kit looks shocking.
-
But we should forgive him as he helped get England home! 8)
-
I wondered what the deal was with those gawd awful Ton stickers on his bat???
Anyone have any idea?
-
Think I saw on the ss twitter feed that they are considering them for 2013 ranges, hope they don't do it though, look awful!
-
bat looks good but i do like a ss not keen on stickers
helmet well forma are good helmets look at the top of the range GN the one Cook wears there the same just different maker
-

New SS range. "Big Ton 47"
-
Why do SS have such a vast product range? I mean every new play they sign has a signature model
-
And there seem to be so many different top end models, LE, Players, Signature etc.
Most SS bats seem to be Grade 1 with excellent grains anyway.
Which is the best?
-
I have always been told that the Gladiator was the best model., although there are the 'special' models now like the KP (Pollard)!
-
Think as said above Gladiator is the best, the bats Pros use will just be what ever stickers they prefer.
-
Our overseas had some SS Gold bats brought over for him to pass on, any details on this model?
-
Obviously likes his old GM gear. Back in the original le gloves today.
-
Must have been quick to see that one. He didnt last very long.
-
Looks as though Bopara is carrying his Test form into T20 matches now! :(
-
Yep - those pads will need more wearing in!!
At this rate they'll still look like new at the end of the season.
I guess we all have bad patches!
-
Found this on bopara's twitter:
I will be giving out some of cricket kit tonight @Sams_Chicken eastham. 389 barking road. Opposite town hall.
Cant imagine anything special. Must be old essex shirts.
Grand opening of a Chicken shop lol

If anyone is still looking for Shaq...then I would start there ;)

Ha, Fried Chicken and Ravi Bopara, two of his most favourite things...
-
strange thing to do, but If I was (which im not) near by, I would take a punt. At the very least I would get some chicken dippers!
-
Did anything ever come of the whole shaq debacle?
