Hey Mav, what grips are those, and where do you get them - are they Slaz (they're not octopus are they?)
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - they're sexy!
They are slaz, got them from sports direct online for £1 each on clearance. They are octopus with a slight difference as the size of the circles get smaller the higher up the grip you go.

Got to add my b3 and h4l gloves plus Vulcan gloves to mine and decide which bats are staying as only really need 2 or do I??Nooo. Have 3!

very nice sticks, take it these were part of the free gloves deal with the offer from Rematch?
Are they Newbery gloves with the logos painted out?

Roco - I am interested to see Russ' B3 gloves... he knows a fair amount about softs does Mr Evans!!
cant get enough of that redback!
Very much look forward to seeing some pictures of your collection mate
Haha it is a massive amount of kit, and it's not like its low end.
Do you share it's duties out through the season? Like a midweek kit lol then pick which ever stick you fancy using on the day
^ love the fact that our newest sponsor is online and posting at 2:30 on Friday night/sAturday morning! Great commitment jake!!
If there's no cricket match to be played, consequently there's no beer to be drank afterward. And without that, it's very unlikely that the 'delights' of Peterboroughs nightlife wil entice me....
Plus, convinced myself about 2 hours ago to power through til the test match starts.
So far I've got a Salix Falx performance (thanks PDC), newbery sps2 gloves (thanks rematch) and a pair of adidas sl22 blue (thanks MandM). Will get some pads, either newbery or salix to replace my morrant unlimited's, want something quite minimalist. Will also look at some thigh pads to replace my grays players (way too bulky). All that and I'm a bowler who bats 11!
How's the Scat performing?
Once the Tempo arrives, I might spend an afternoon photographing my gear for next year - is shaping up very nicely indeed!
you'll just be photographing the Tempo, trust me ;)
im guessing u still mean photos of kit buzz?

After selling/giving to friends/retiring a lot of my stuff, I've got the following leftover from 2012:
Powerbow Strauss LE bat
Bellingham & Smith Supreme bat
Vitas Cricket Lion Roar bat
Legend batting pads
Powerbow players batting gloves
Quantum elite batting gloves
Strippers p2
Gray Nicolls pro performance duffle bag
Asics Gel Advance 4 spikes
For 2013 I have got or will be getting:
Laver & Wood Reserve Bat
Dynadrive bat
Legend batting gloves
Legend keeping gloves & pads
Geoff Wymer custom fitted keeping gloves
Vitas Cricket batting pads & gloves
Gray Nicolls players bag
Slazenger pro tour leather holdall, the little one
Asics 200 not out spikes
Ayrtek blue tinted RAW helmet
Toying with a Masuri keepers lid as I feel like I'll want something minimalist to keep in, but I'm sure I'll love my ayrtek.
On my wish list I still really want (but considering my existing gear, could never justify needing) the following:
Slazenger V12 or V6 bat, plus pro tour batting pads & gloves.
GM Epic Graeme Smith Player Edition bat.
I used to have all the top softs from M & H in the tan leather, inc the keeping gear. Seeing it in this creamy white leather for 2013 makes me want it again, drooool.
Was bloody hard work narrowing all my choices down to my current list! You should have seen my list 3 months ago!
These are the bats I have for next season:

GN Scoop missing from the pics.
([url]http://i.imgur.com/s4wapl.jpg[/url])
All my bats are ready to go now, L-R GN Nitro Extreme originally 3lb now 2lb12oz, Hunts County Mettle 3 2lb9oz, GM Halo 606 2lb9oz, and a Wright Cricket Thunderstick 2lb13.5oz. Also got a brand new Newbery B-52 2lb12oz and another Wright Cricket Thunderstick 2lb10.5oz at my parents.
Try and get pics of all kit up over Xmas, once I've given my pads and gloves a bit of a clean
Please tell me that Wright Cricket make some trousers called Thunderpants.....that would be brilliant!That's got to be their thighpad/stripper branding...
Well, Thunderball is a nickname...
But if I somehow get the capital to do softs etc, then these are all good names! (Commissions will be in the post lads!)
Jake you're my friend from now on, I see something in that picture which delighted me.
Good man :D
I like your stickers, very understated which is good.
What is it?
Gray Nicolls Legend pads which in my opinon are by far worlds best pads ever!
They are certainly my favourites :)
Forum members know my affection with Gray Nicolls Legend pads. Oh God what haven't I done with them! :o :(
Forum members know my affection with Gray Nicolls Legend pads. Oh God what haven't I done with them! :o :(Or even in them.... ;)

Liam, Ice pads? Thought you'd go with matching pads..
Haha :D :D
Liam, Ice pads? Thought you'd go with matching pads..
Ha ha, I think my list will obviously look very modest by comparison. ;)
Bats: Salix Pod Performance 2 lb 7 oz needs to be 'netted in' during the close season.
Pro Grade 2 lb 6 oz currently in use and less than a season old so should be plenty of runs left in it (especially as bugger all have come out of it!).
Pads: Uzi Green Mamba.
Gloves: AS Sniper
Spikes: Surridge
Same old whites
Potential close season purchase - perhaps a helmet at some point.
ok, I officially give up with trying to put pictures up. Nothing appears to be working.

Bit late for trials isn't it? Mine were ages ago, and my training starts in 6 days!Lancs have there's around January, district trials around here are usually around late Feb with winter nets in december!
thoses pads look nice, very nice 8)
What's the weight on the Genesis?
Illegal in all forms I believe, but you can use the bat to the end of its natural life. Same with carbon handles if I'm correct
The guys i bought it from said you can use it at school and club but not 1st class .
"In 2006, a company introduced cricket bats with a thin carbon-fiber layer on the back which were used in competitive matches by high-profile players (e.g. Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey). The carbon fiber was claimed to increase the durability of the bats, however they were banned from all first-class matches by the ICC in 2007"
Ah thanks this will now be a copllectors peice
I belive law 6 and any subsequent laws relating to 'the bat' are related to all cricket!
Good kit there bud I have used the pads and gloves very nice.
What shape bat is it mate
There is some lovely kit around to spend money on :)Lovely stuff mate!!
lovely Kit marc. looks all brand new for 2013
I am waiting on my new colored pads and then i'll post mine too :)
Glad the gloves arrived promptly :)
Compliment the Newbery green and whites quite well...and to think of all the stick we took for using green 2 seasons ago ;) #TrendSetting
The helmet is the Gloss Tint version that are a bit of an attention grabber when they are in the daylight.
Sheer brilliance! Extremely classy!
The kit or the duvet cover?

Closer look at the gloves
Gloves would be from Meulemans over in WA. The XXX range is exclusive to them.
GN gear on that site is so so nice
why do they only have that available there? and in Aus
sure it would be very popular over here
GN Aus and GN UK are kept as two separate markets, not entirely sure why, but It's a case of grass is always greener on the other side. We've sent a number of UK Grays bats over to Australia recently.
I also recently knocked in an Australian Legend that a regular customer of mine bought and had shipped over.
You are right. I spent a season in England as an overseas player in 2004 and was amazed at the choice of gear you guys had, particularly with all the smaller, boutique brands. Even just local to where I was up in West Yorkshire, there was a guy down the road who made bats, Barronette I think they were called, and they were sublime. Over here it's very much the big brands, plus a couple of local ones and that's about it.
However, it looks as if Kookaburra have given us a shipment of their 2013 UK range early, one guy at the club has the Kooka Menace, which aside from the decals is a lovely bit of willow. Maybe there will be more UK/AUS cross-sell in the future...
Wat club did u play for mate ?
Can't wait to use call my new gear sunday
I'm currently after an Aus Legend at the moment, and can't understand why they don't sell both ranges in both Australia and UK. Surely more variety = more sales. And on that note are any UK retailers able to source an Aus GN Legend?
In England I played for Cullingworth CC, Craven and District League. Would love to go back now, had a fairly mediocre season there (500-odd runs at about 25) but I was only 21 at the time. Now I'd fancy myself doing a fair bit better if I got a 2nd chance, but don't think that will ever happen again due to work.., :(
Lovely kit Over Gully.
GN XXX Hand Crafted gloves look fantastic, could you briefly go over them?
Many thanks
[url]http://cdcl.play-cricket.com/leaguetables/competitions.asp[/url] ([url]http://cdcl.play-cricket.com/leaguetables/competitions.asp[/url])
No worries!! I basically went for the XXX gloves over the new Legend gloves as they were a good $30 cheaper and I didn't see any difference in quality. Good quality sheepskin palms, they have the one piece sausage fingers for the bottom two fingers for greater protection and 'shark tooth' split-fingered design on the ring and little fingers. For me I found I needed a few net sessions just to break them in slightly, but now they are easily the #1 gloves in my kit. I'm really into the all-white styling, which is also the same for the XXX pads I recently bought.
Here are some more photos for a closer look!

At least the balls are :)

The ball making machine in Corby UK begs to differ...Is the machine in Corby for Readers balls?
Is the machine in Corby for Readers balls?Since 2002, it has seen a very active time in the companys history with the completion of the new manufacturing complex at nearby Moorabbin housing over 70 employees and the UK acquisition of the 200 year old cricket ball manufacturer, Alfred Reader & Co Ltd, also with 60 plus employees, confirming that Kookaburra Sport is the largest cricket ball manufacturer in the world.

Unfortunately, I bought the Adidas because it was cheap! Has a nice grain and 'ping' off the mallet but not my cuppa. I prefer the GN, and don't really like that either - seem to have a habit of buying something because it's cheaper than it should be... or not!
Anyone know of any good bats with a low middle? I keep checking the ebay bargains section but then think I'll end up getting into the same position of finding something good and cheap, but that I'm not really happy with! Cost isn't a barrier (within reason - if it's £300 and lasts a couple of seasons then that's ok)! :D

RPC (both) - 2'11 although the newer one has a slightly better pick up..
CD's
B3 - 2'9
BB - I am going to guess 2.11 but closer to 2'12
Every time I see your RPC bats I want one Tushar, they are gorgeous
Thanks!
Dynadrive is BIG and I like the profile. I have never seen such a BIG bat like your H4L. I think even Gayle will get scared looking at that. Also B3 for 2'9 is huge. you have a great selection. which one is your match bat?
sorted mine out yesterday, waiting for a few bits of willow to reach me then will snap a few pics :)
I'll bear that in mind when I next buy a bat then, I can understand your point of view and now I'm aware of it I'll definitely think twice before repeating any business.
And thank you SOULMAN1012, best of luck for the new season mate :)
Honestly I'll say yes. If someone provides decent kit but poor service then I'm willing to make a slight compromise in quality to get a better service.
Azhar Ali gloves?
He gave them to a friend a few years ago after his 1st few internationals, He has/does play for my old team Huntly
My mate played with Azhar Ali at Huntly, what's your name bud?
He had some stories about Azhar, he certainly doesn't crab around in club cricket haha
my names Gary, I got started at Huntly thanks to Calum howard is you know him?
yeah Azhar really is a top bloke, never to busy for anyone.
Yeah he knows Calum Howard, my mate is one of the many Reid Clan haha.

nice kit Wayward (Nantie?) - that Navarone looks a beauty.
That Navarone is beautiful Wayward Hayward lovely gear mate.
Real nice Alex
That Origin looks marvellous. Really beautiful - how does it play chap?
All beauty's bird
It's brand new off Nath, the £65 one ha. Hasn't seen a ball yet and probably won't till next year now. Lovely bat very pleased with it.
What are the specs?
Gorgeous kit buddy, very nice indeed!
The Soft Pockets complete the set mate!!
Nath could probably shed more light on this than me. It's a 2'10 grade 2 I think, picks up heavier than I like but a double thickness grip has sorted the pickup out.
Do you have a midweek kit? Lovely stuff mate, the maverick looks a beauty!
Yea i have a full newbery kit that i will take some photo's of later but that is at my mums house as i can store all at mine.
I may chnage that though for some hammer softs to match my Beserker ST.
Why would anyone want so much kit........... ;)
Amazing, where do you keep it all?
Just for you Bird
The Newbery kit, i have put this little lot away for the time being, may bring it out later in the year.

Yea for a 5 star it has 11 straight grains, it has a few little butterfly stains on the blade but these have no impact on the performance, i am quite picky about my bats and i normally spend an age picking them from all the available willow. This one also pings very well and picks up well for a 2.11 bat. I normally use 2.9 and this feels very light for the weightIf anything butterfly stains are supposed improve performance as they are stiffer and transfers energy onto the ball. I am mulling over buying one .
Lovely, lovely gear mate, that bag is soooo rare. If you ever do sell it, I'm interested!!
Ive seen the bag before once. It was being sold on here with a set of even rarer Cadbury GT335 pads and gloves.
Your bag looks slightly smaller than the one above tho.
Mine doesn't say limited edition, when was that for sale?? Must have gone for decent money
Cheers mate. Had them made specially, so I've got a load sitting around at the minute
You a villa fan???Crystal Palace. The blue came out lighter than I wanted, but they're still nice.
Lovely kit Amit! Your BlankBat looks quite remarkable, how is it faring?Thanks Uzair.
it funny i collect cricket hats there all from the australia trip and the other is my representative cap.
I have more equipment in the garage than here just not going to use might donate to a local club..
club hats mate i collect a lot of cricket clothing i saw some nice Andrew Symonds stuff and i get the odd bit and bob ..Yours if you want mate?
cant mate saving for the one 2 bits of kit i truly want, stretton and ayrtek again..Not a problem mate! Let me know if you are looking for any match worn stuff!
One or two items to be sold before i buy anything though
Lovely kit Dave! Out of interest, how much shorter is the PB compared to your other bats? Is your B3 also a shorter blade?
all assembled now, missing a bat from this pic as its at home.

Yep how come i didnt see you there!?!?! ;)
Where are you guys netting in Leatherhead please?
Where are you guys netting in Leatherhead please?
about ruddy time ;)
very tidy kit sir!
AJK LE bat Yash? That's like a Salix Players bat on steroids! ;)
Lovely kit fella!!
Yes, that is the AJK LE which has made all my previously owned bats redundant.
The bat has set into my hands perfectly since the first net.
The power it packs is immense considering I have not knocked the bat in - only worked on the edges a bit.
Thats a gorgeous looking bat Yash, any chance of a profile pic? is this their custom option?
This is their Limited Edition that is exclusive to Barrington Sports. These are limited to 20-25 bats only.
As requested the profile pictures.

Thats looks a great profile, i am guessing a high middle - 2'9 lbs your usual weight? nice bit of willow that...
Andrew mentioned these briefly when he rang us to discuss the possibility of us stocking salix in the future.
AJK range is exclusive to barringtons as a 'reward' for barringtons being Salix's best customer, which I think is a really good gesture.
Bat looks a corker mate. Really looking forward to the possibility of salix on my shelves in 2014
Awesome kit Yash. Very nice bat, you have a quality kit
So you went for the AJK in the end then mate, mine is by far the best bat I have owned. The power these things pack is just unreal, only used it in a few net sessions against the slower bowlers but it is a gun.
That Ajk looks incredible!!
Finally got time to take pics of the kit.
This is my kit for 2013.
The Legend softs are amazing. Better than last year.
The AJK limited edition bat is phenomenal (guess that explains whyI have only 1 bat in my kit)

Can't grumble at that yash lad
Lovely kit mate, but is it just me that would get very annoyed at having h4l everything and SPS gloves? I know it's a preference thing with everyone but all my kit match I dunno if it's habit or superstition now haha
This is me sorted for the season .

I recorded a video of most of these, which was basically me rambling on for 45 mins, smacking bats with a mallet and bouncing a ball on them, and then decided to scrap it as I can't be bothered uploading. :-[
Wow I am so impressed this is what I am looking to do someday. Collect hopefully this many or more bats. The boys on my team call me crazy cause I buy two new bats every year. Your collection is awesome. I found on of mine this year still looking for the second one. Its like I can't have enough cricket bats.

I can put more pics up if people are interested in anything in particular
Tushar bro, top bats. This would have been a picture perfect if you have a _ _ _ in the frame :))))))
You need some more softs in your collection to go with the bats bud :)
Tushar....quality kit there fella! :D
Hmm wilkie i see you make an astute obeservation, fortunately or unfortunately it costs almost the same as a bat to ship gloves here and pads are much much more so i end up just buying bats :)
You need some more softs in your collection to go with the bats bud :)
Thought I would join in with this.
So my kit for the 2013 season is,
Bats
Newbery GT335 Players (Probably my match bat)
Redback Paradox Premium 2
RK custom (On its way)
Pads
Newbery GT335
Gloves
Newbery GT335
Bulldog Spirit
Helmet
Masuri
([url]http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a501/steveo1000/2013-03-22143948_zps3a9296bc.jpg[/url])
Helmet, GM, bought yesterday. My head was slightly too small for large Masuri/
Albion but too big for small. The GM was perfect fit, lets you adjust the size at the back.

Wife is out with friends so it allowed me the oppertunity to open my kit bag and take some snaps :)...RPC's are with Cover_Drive so when they come back and I able to get to fedex office to pick up another bat that is waiting there this should be complete.
I am a bowler (not a very good one) if anyone is wondering ;)
Nice kit ...where did you get your coloured pads from? I am in the market for a pair too.
Thanks, I got them from Aswani sports
Cant seem to find it on their website.....any other suggestions?
Cant seem to find it on their website.....any other suggestions?
Dear Mr Paceking - that kit reads like it is all brand new top of the range kit, please would you be able to take some pictures, upload them into a photobucket account or similar and share them with us.
Many thanks
(abreviated version replacing previous long form request ;))
Sure no problem, just the bats??
Everything...... 8)

Sure no problem, just the bats??
Yes Please.
Thanks for yer time mate.

nice bats but what is that secuity sticker on Hammer? and why such horrid scuff sheet too?
It came in the packaging so i just stuck it on the bat, fancied the idea of trying fibre glass scuff sheet so stuck it on the Hammer...so far no complaints don't notice that much difference to be honest compared to other scuff sheets :)
Haha ok, as for scuff sheet that one is a real pain to remove if you ever try to clean up the bat yourself thats all...
Not liking that security sticker! :( lovely willow though.
no worries...as requestedgreat bats although you need shooting for defacing that hammer bat ;)

Just thought i'd bung in a photo of a 2012 Legend i have as well
@The_Bird....will get the other gear loaded sometime later this week
Sorry the quality isn't the greatest but you the idea :)
Those asics are top notch hay ! I have got a pair and they fit nicely, and comfy !
The Gel Gully one's or speed menace? I haven't had a chance to use either yet unfortunately :(
I've got the gel speed menace bought 2 years ago - not that I'm particularly quick but I bowl a lot of Overs and they are really comfy especially with some special orthopaedic insoles I have due to injury so I'm trying to stretch out a 3rd season (normally 2 seasons of Saturday and Sunday and my boots drop to bits!).
Nice bat collection - I have a legend bought when they first came out and it's a beast of a bat!
As for the hammer - definetly ditch the security sticker and that face!
Found myself with a spare 5 mins so here is my kit... Enjoy!!
Bats: Custom made RPC
Millichamp and Hall Type A Original Low
Gloves: Kookaburra kahuna players edition
Salix Pod One
Pads: Kookaburra Kahuna k1000
Helmet: Masuri Titanium
Boots: Spiked New Balance trainers
Thigh pads: Areo P2 Strippers
Accessories: Lucky white sweat band

Nobody on this forum ever seems to have the same 'end of 2012 season' and 'start of 2013 season' - There's always something that catches your eye, which then leads to something else, then something else...there is a significant number of people on here who have "end of 2012 season kit", "Christmas sales 2012 kit" and then "start of 2013 kit" of of which is different... :o
One of the closest to perfect kit's I've seen in a while!
Would have been made more complete if he showed the soft pockets though! ;)
Absolutely lovely kit, I envy the folk who can stick to two bats! :-[
Just a quick question.
I see most of you guys have 2 sets of batting pads, and sometimes 2 helmets. Is this because you have games Saturday and Sunday so you need fresh pads? Or do you just spend a ridiculous amount of time in the middle so you need to change them a lot?
I don't know anyone in NZ who has two sets of pads.
And yes I do know everyone who plays cricket in NZ ;)
I have a pair of pads I net in and play in as I don't want my rare Newbery's to get marked up.
What a posey twit I know...I'm sure I'm not alone though.
All sorted out really, just expect pads to be green ones and gloves to be GM Original LE. But here is most of it;([url]http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/ac91/minhasuz/IMG_20130328_172444_zps732086fd.jpg[/url])
I have a pair of gloves for different situations

Looks Classy Uzair
I am assuming that your other room is full of pre 2013 kit and therefore you had to move 2013 stuff to new room
like the look of those pads
Looking good CD, all in leather. Any close ups of the padded bat cover ;)

Here's most of my gear for the coming season. Still need to get another spare bat, gloves and a new Masuri.
Apologies if the image is too big!
Never been a warsop fan but that kit looks incredible! Anyway to get hold of those stickers?!

Revolution Cricket is a sportsware provider who also sell cricket equipment. I think they are a "brand" rather than a maker of hand made bats.
Nothing to do with Lion Revolution (!)
Separately, are those left handed pads with right handed gloves?
Ahhh i see, not sure on the stickers but the softs look good, even if there is a rh/lh combo! 8)
Those pads are really different from the UK Legend pads - the canes are angled, not straight, the branding is different and the padding is really different :o

Fair enough, I need a big clearout, got plenty of kit I'm not going to use to get rid of! :(
Ah right, so around the same price bracket as Stretton Fox... A tough choice, I want something just a little bit less obtrusive than the P2s, but I think I would be scared of losing my thigh-pads if I got SF. :-[
Here is mine, Red Ink bat, GN Legend Gloves, GN Maverick 5* Pads, Masuri Titanium (soon to have the new grill)

As for bats, I used the Master last weekend and the Distinction midweek. The Tempo and Hattori also go to most matches, though the older of the two B52s is possibly the best bat I've owned and goes when I'm out of form. The Black Cat will also see some games this year. Most of the others are unlikely to...
If you want to get rid of one of the Newbery's and make sure it gets used I'll willingly take it off your hands ;)
So will you not be using the AJK this season?
I will but I am using and promoting the HitsHard brand so that will be my league bat, I also want to make sure it is fully knocked in and the weather has been quite wet in Kent so waiting till its dry
Ok this is what i have managed to collect over the winter, all of this is new since end of last season. My match kit is not included in this as that is in the car. My match kit is all my HitsHard gear. This is the suff at my house. I have some GN bats and softs and warsop and newbery at my mums as softs take up to much room but this little lot will fight it out fir sundays, midweek T20 etc
The M&H i only recieved this morning as i have heard great things about them so decided to see if my views were wrong so looking foward to trying that out soon. All the bats are either 2.8 or 2.9
Soulman - which of those pads do you rate the most? (And let me know if you are considering getting rid of any!!)
Dam thats a quality collection of bats! All that is new since last season? And I thought id bought a lot of new bats!
Wish id popped in to your house and "borrowed" a few of those mate...
Well OCAplayer, you've had quite a whirlwind entrance into this forum.
Can I just say, black shoes and flex tech pads, sledgers paradise!
Just about got my match kit sorted - most of it sourced from the forum ;).

Just a quick snap of my kit, had no idea I had quite this much, seemed less when I had bits hidden away :D
Are they the blank pads from Ebay mate?
Lovely Purist you got there mate. :). What weight is it please ?
Lovely looking bats mate. What were they originally? Judging by the discolouration on the one on the right, I'm guessing it was a GN?Thanks but your guess is a little bit off.
My new and improved (and trimmed down) bat collection. Having sold 4 bats and bought 2 recently, this is now my new lineup. I'm pretty pleased with it, although 2 haven't been used yet.

My BB is my favourite, in terms of profile and performance (although haven't used my RI or Mechten yet). BB is Saturday match bat, the other 3 will battle for Sunday games while the Vantage (an MSR) is my net. All weigh between 2lb 10oz and 2lb 12oz, except the MSR which is 2lb 14oz. All have 2 grips on and most shoe goo.
That SAF looks a cracker mate, nice little collection you get there.

Got to say those SAF stickers are much nicer than their standard ones in my opinion - really like the clear black/purple stickers in this design too.

Finally got my gear sorted for this season;-
Almost all my kit - minus Asics trainers + clothing which consists of 2x Newbery whites and an old Brighton College Cricket Jumper.

(left to right)
2.6 msr net bat, decent ping and does the job for a light bat, really happy with it for 30 quid
not weighed it but feels around 2.9 i think its tim keeley made, knot in the toe but response with the mallet is ridiculous! Really suits me probably my match bat this season.
2.10 spyer legend, nice ping and not concaved so lots of meat around the blade.
masuri steel helmet
spyder venom pads, i would recommend these to anyone best pads ive used by a mile, reversed canes so great protection but also very comfy ,also very light.
ascis, not sure what model but very comfy and serving me well into their second season now
sypyer sausage style gloves cant really see them but likewise with the pads offer great protection and comfert, the palms are like new even though i have used them around twice a week since september.
aero p2's we know about these do a great job
slazenger box :D
sidearm pro sticking out in the left hand corner great tool once you get used to it
then my caps
hyde cc
hawk green cc
tameside district
cheshire county.
really happy with my kit and all came at decent prices, with my discount from gary at spyer everything in the pic comes in at about £485 which is relatively cheap on this forum :D
Is that Cheshire cap the East?
Any chance on a bit of a review / info on the spyder please? Opposition opening bat had a nice one a couple of weeks ago that went well
i play for the full county under 14's side however im based in stockport
Paceking29... Please may we see the rest of your kit ?
That helmet looks gorgeous mate, the gold just seems right!
Hide the lid from CD, he'll be after it now haha!
got an order off for a new batch shortly if u want me to tag another one on :)
Haha, I reckon that green compliments the gold very nicely! Come on mate, if your going for a RAW carbon fiber you've got to go for the standard black to make it look classy :)
You know Ash Watkin and Dan Owen then?
Beno Hows the BB going i just bought one

Where did you get your Legend pads from Dave?
Bats: Wombat Dig In (2'7), Wombat Select (2'8), Wombat Big Hitter (2'7)
Pads: Wombat Dig In
Gloves: Wombat Dig In, Wombat Match
Thigh Pads: Kookaburra Beast, Woodworm (Inner)
Arm Guard: Wombat Test
Box: Willowizard
Helmets: Albion Test Elite Ti22 (2008), Albion Classic (2013)
Shoes: Nike Air Century Opener
Hat (Not Shown): Albion Greg Chappell Signature
Kit Bag (Not Shown): Icon Players Plus
Wombat is an Australian company with bases in Melbourne and Sydney. Their stuff comes out of India. The bats have an awesome ping (I haven't used the Wombat Big Hitter T20 style bat yet) and the pads and gloves are top quality and very light and comfortable.
I have always had Albion helmets. I've just recently upgraded to the Albion classic with the new closer fitting grill which I find suits me very well. Very comfortable lid but I still really like the older Test Elite Ti22. Maybe I'll keep one here in Australia and keep one in the UK.
I'm trying the Nike shoes this season as I got them very cheap ($29 AUD). I usually use Asics, however for the price I'm sure the Nikes will do fine.
The Icon Players Plus kit bag is in my opinion the best cricket bag on the market. It has everything you could possibly want. I actually bought it after watching a review about it on youtube.
That's my kit anyway! I'm usually one for smaller brands as I feel I'm not paying for the name. Wombat have been outstanding and can highly reccomend their gear for both quality, price and service.

I bought them from Ajit at onlinestockist.com.
