Title: Your Kit through the ages!
Post by: Liam-SCCC on November 01, 2012, 06:27:26 PM
Basically, this is a topic for people to dig through their photobucket and imageshack accounts and see how many different kit pictures they can find. Its scary how you sometimes find 3 sets of kits for a single season!

I only did this the other day!

not quite in c_d's league...
The changing face of my kit…

I was looking back at how my kit has changed  over the last few seasons and I thought I would share it...

Here is my kit (and lovely carpet when I joined the forum)

present shock Dr and Asic Gel Gully 2’s

([url]http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac151/buzzrockport/DSC00204.jpg[/url])

2011
This then changed to:

Bats: SAF Genus 100,
Pads: Kook Ice 850s
Gloves: Kook Ice 850s x2
Protection: new style (wasn’t as good) Hawk thigh pad set
Box: Shock Dr
Lid: New Style 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!)

([url]http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac151/buzzrockport/IMAG0220.jpg[/url])
 
But then for 2012 I decided that I wanted to go for a UK
firm and went all GM…

CD Just a quick question. How the hell do you decide what to take to a match at the wekend?? If i had that long it would take me as long to pack for cricket as wife to get ready in the mornings lol

Lovely gear that.

Also what are the bats with a Lion decal on the fron as i have seen a few on the forum. Buzz your one in the thread looks like a real beauty of a bat lovely grain structure

They are all sorts of bats. The Lion Revolution stickers were something that Buzz put together for people to put on blank bats.

I have had two bats recently with good grainage -
This one which is with a mate

Lol, actually I persist with just one bat for season and use that. I used my Screaming Cat throughout the summer.

Those Lion stickers are remarkable, I have Orange one and they are lovely! I really like the look of them, they look very good in flesh! Top work by Buzz!

thanks for clearing that up for mw guys and buzz great work mate they look really good.

C.D can i ask how you find a Scat compared to all the other class bats you own?  Since joing the form i have seen many a good word said about them but they seem so expensive. Ihave used salix for many years and a players is about £300. Does a Scat play any better considering £100 or so more ?

Anybody elsa with Scat i would welcome your comments also.

No worries mate, ask anything you wish to ask :)

I find Screaming Cats to be marvelous, they are easily the best bats I have ever used. In my eyes, they are best bats period. So I have nothing but good for them.

Further adding to your previous question, I have more problem in winter nets session selecting a bat rather than games :(.
