Title: Adidas new gear bargains on MandM Direct
Post by: AlanB on December 09, 2012, 04:07:49 PM
With credit to the original poster under the ebay bargain thread, thought this warranted a thread of its own.

The Adidas Incurza bats available are not clearly described (abbreviated as "adidas Incur PR EW Cricket Bat Infrared/Black") but appear to be the Pro grade model (certainly the picture is).

SH is priced the same as the juniors at £50 plus free standard delivery using the code.

As I said on eBay bargains thread too, go through Quidco for 7% cashback and free delivery. Making it about £47 for an EW bat.

Some real bargains around with Rematch and Pro Direct too.

I've sent them an email to see if it would be possible to request a specific weight, but not holding much hope out. Will update if anything happens.

Thank you, geeders. No harm in asking. Might work if the bats have an indicative weight or weight range marked on them?

Had a response -

 'Unfortunately there is no option to choose weight on this product'.

Will give them a ring tomorrow as I think they were just pointing out there was no option to choose from the website.

Has anyone that ordered the incurza had a despatch note or payment go out? I've only had the email confirming the order so far.

Post by: SG6-18 on December 12, 2012, 10:45:03 AM
Dithering over whether to get sl22 led to them running out of 11s.  very frustrating but may just get 11.5s instead
Title: Re: Adidas new gear bargains on MandM Direct
Post by: AlanB on December 12, 2012, 10:56:35 AM
MandM had emailed to say they could not pick a weight due to automation of their process - no issues with that, to be expected.
delivery from MandM was yesterday, assume the bat was included in that, wasn't in to receive it though, should have it today.

The bat arrived from MandM Direct but it's a small mens - Sadly not the short handle version that was ordered. The Overall length is approx 32.5" & it weighs just under 2.5 and has seems to have a quite a thin handle. Have put it side by side with a Harrow bat and it seems comparable.
The labels do state "PRO" and Grade 1 Willow. Has anyone else received a delivery?

They'll have to take it back if you tell them to!
Title: Re: Adidas new gear bargains on MandM Direct
Post by: Grains on December 12, 2012, 01:32:36 PM
Yes I will be sending it back. They have offered a refund or exchange so I will try for an exchange and will keep you posted if a SH does turn up.
Hope others have a bit more luck!

Havent got my bat, and its looking like I wont... was showing as delivered at 11am this morning, but nothing received. Rang Hermes up, and apparently it was left in a secure location between 2 garages.

Considering I havent got a garage it looks like they left it at the wrong house... >:(

Collected the package today.

The incuraza pro bat is labelled as small mens and whilst I haven't checked it, would appear to similar to a Harrow, definitely not a SH. Willow quality stated as G1 and clearly is too, unblemished face and straight grains.

The cricket shirt is good value for a tenner, pleased with that.

Thanks for letting us know, dont feel quite so dissapointed mine didnt turn up now as its saved me returning it...  - at 6' 4" I dont think I could have got much use out of a harrow bat  ;)

anyone know the real difference between these two gloves apart from the price - look slightly different but cannot find details anywhere else - not even sure which year they were released. Cheaper ones are available in both kids and mens sizes.

How do measurements work for aforementioned gloves? Is medium smaller than standard mens or is standard mens (assuming this as its small or oversized).
Title: Re: Adidas new gear bargains on MandM Direct
Post by: lexx on January 12, 2013, 12:16:37 AM
I bought medium mens and they were tight,i had them changed and went for Right Hand Large.I dont have big hands and normally use standard size but looks like adidas are slightly smaller sizing size.Hope that make sense!!

I'll add my thanks for the heads up on these deals, i got both the adipower gloves and pads (sometimes it pays to be a cack hander!). Having netted with them this morning, I can confirm that both seem to be good quality, the pads are a bit funky, but they passed the p*** taking test from my team mates! Great deal for 45 quid posted. Size wise, I found the normal mens fine...

the bat length mentioned 33.5 inches is a full SH.

I'm waiting for Vitas cricket to offer a forum special of Adidas bats (all same size and weight) at 75 quid a pop ;-)

Not sure what size was listed as it doesn't show any now. They did have these listed a couple of months ago for £50, and we're advertised as SH but turned out to be small mens (equivalent to GM academy)
