Post by: cheese on November 03, 2012, 01:38:54 PM
In this picture Ian doesn't seem to be wearing the mittens...

Could the mitten part be removable?

they good be but it seems unlikely so a custom pair with similar colours?

also those pads are horrible, dont know what kookaburra are thinking much prefer the "normal" ones like the kahuna etc etc

They are players gloves - so basically recoil style gloves in menace colours. Also if you look at the picture of him walking off the pitch you can see the side profile of the bat and it is definitely not a menace - maybe a recoil with menace stickers!?

The pads don't look good, I agree there.
I don't think kookaburra have done badly with their kit this year only the Menace range has been a bit of a let down. Ire all like the Rouge and the Ricochet range, the Kahuna is ok but never really been a fan of it over the years.

Been told that Bell is only using them only in ODI's. We'll see though, I'd be surprised if he does.

Bit of a gimmick then. My mum used to work for S.P back in the day of their mittens said they were a big hit back then, but these are totally different and quite disgusting.

Liam I can't remember what pads you wear as you didn't bat long enough for me to see what they were.
I'm getting new pads soon any way, Quantum Elites or the new Maverick elites.

Dont put down the mitts, I will be receiving them off paul when they are in stock.

But to be fair they are just a gimmick for me.

Fair play to you they'd be quite cool to have but I'm just a more traditional person. I know I have the terrible G.N Nitro Players pads but apart from that my stuff isn't to brashy.
