If you had lets say a grand and a half to buy all the kit you needed for the upcoming season, so lets say bats, pads ,gloves ,helmets, thighpads and shoes what would you buy? Just curious

Gary Nicolls legend bat, legend pads and gloves, masuri titanium, aero P1 struppers and asics

Think i would have a visit to julian millichamp for the bat, gray nicholls legend softs, asics shoes, a set of stretton fox thigh pads, an ayrtek and a seasons long supply of pork scratchings/scampi fries with a few battenburgs thrown in for good measure :D

Leaving £1410 for fast cars, loose women or whatever else takes your fancy.

Slightly worrying that youd spend more on pads than a bat!

I watched Loose women on the TV once... Was NOT the show I thought it would be!

I bet you fell into the same trap with desperate housewives.

LOL! Well played sir x2!!! :D

I started doing this but stopped when I realised budget was already blown and I had no box or bag! :(

Love it! Your comment that is....
(whew, cover almost blown :-[)
-
my kit is pretty decent and having bought it would leave about £600 out of your budget for a little bit of coaching (!) - which might be more useful than lots of really expensive bats...
-
SCAT Series 1 bat, Morrant International Ultralight pads, Slazenger Ultimate gloves, Aero Stripper P2's, Masuri w/titanium grill, ASICS shoes
-

You've obviously never been hit flush. I would always look to buy a box first up.
-
I'd pocket all that as a poor man so I'll use what I have ;)
-
Well, I'd probably do this
I'd have 2 sets of kit
Set 1 Set 2
Bat: Kahuna Players £310 GN E41 500 £235
Pads: Kahuna Players £98 GN Legend £100
Gloves: Kahuna Players £78 GN Legend £72
Then I'd have
Masuri Elite Titanium - Navy - £110
Asics Strike Rates (2012) - £55
Playing clothes - £70
Box - £10
Strippers - £35
GN Players Bag - £70
Kook Pro Players Bag - £78
Custom Oakleys - £150
Grips, facing, normal extra stuff - £29
That should total £1500 exactly
-
I'd probably get stuff off the forum, soooo:
SAF Infinity
SAF Gloves
SAF Pads
SAF Duffle (the 4 cost me £300 together in a bundle)
Ayrtek Elite custom - £260
Asics Gel 335s - £35
Club kit - £50
Horizon socks - £10
Box - £5
Strippers - £35 (although depending on prices I'd love to try Stretton Fox!)
And then I'd splash out on some custom Oakleys - £150(?)
Would cost about £900 altogether, and then £600 left over for a holiday... Unless I've missed anything off there?
-
BB Matt Prior shape x2
BB Gloves x2
Slaz Ultimate pads

Haha this is a man with taste! 8)
-
I watched Loose women on the TV once... Was NOT the show I thought it would be!
Robbie Savage was on it today which I think is the only way to make a terrible programme worse
If this money was only to be spent on cricket kit I'd get a Screaming Cat and some of those foxy thighguards first, then realise I've already got everything else I really want in terms of lid, softs, footwear and probably buy some more quality willow!
One of those sexy lams from Blank Bats, a H4L Tempo, a GN Scoop and a some variety of Asian-made bat, think that would all be just about within the budget!
-
I have to add that the new Bulldog (Barrera is it?) looks a rather appetizing prospect and the V12 might also be on my shopping list
-

I may have taste but as i now own all but the keeping pads at present and only 1 pair of the players gloves i now have no money lol.
Amazing kit though from Salix this year, it has always been great but they have taken to another level for this season

£1500 is $2300 AUD, not $3100.

Yeah, I accidently typed 2000 pound into Google instead of 1500. Eh, still only a dream.
