Looks like I am a visionary  8)

I had a pair of new balance running shoes spiked up last winter for fielding in, very light and airy

Will these be released in the U.K?

if they are as good as there running shoes they should be half decent, interesting to see how they'l be priced up

Start of the season I take to mean launching at the start of SA season, so around May.

Decent shot that thanks, look the same as the ones Steyn has on.

Not that impressed by them to be be fair, looking at picking some new boots up, any bargains around, Puma or Asic?

NB are venturing into cricket and have picked up a few pros from what I have heard on the grapevine...not sure if this means just for boots or for full kit

I'm sure I saw one of the young Aussie players using NB pads and gloves a couple of weeks back.

Brett lee was the pioneer but probably just trainers spiked up

yeah he used to have trainers spiked. think his left boot was spiked with more than his right if i remember. said it gave him better grip and balance at the crease. had like 15 spikes in it if i remember
