In this video he is netting next to you root, he's using a blank bat and rather plain looking gloves. I take it he is still with puma?

Blank bats are the future

Perhaps he has a Batmaker like other Pro's do, just waiting on new stickers to be sent to him is my guess.
If that was him 1.00 in, they are kook thigh guards...

Maybe he's done a prior and got a local bat made for him. He maybe just forgot his gear as i doubt he normally uses Kookaburra thigh pads. Buttlers cast offs maybe

Those look like M&H gloves with leather wristbands

This would not surprise me, there will be all kinds of different pitches in India, the country is so vast!

Kieswetter uses Millichamp & Hall bats. While some of our guys were at the factory they said he had just been and picked up his seasons worth of bats from them.

Could M&H ever be in a position to sponsor him outright? I remember seeing Tres, Parsons and Caddick using them on TV back in the day

Would be good to see someone like M&H sponsoring a pro but doubt they can compete with the big names

Puma have also lost/dropped Compton and Marcus North very recently. And poor sales in 2012 meant they didn't update their range in full.

I wonder what's in his kitbag the full lot

have acquired wright though!

He is also using the Masuri, although he normally swaps between the 2 frequently, its generally puma to bat in and masuri to keep

If a player was in the process of changing sponsors you would expect them to have blank bats and the coloured pads of their old sponsor

At 47 seconds that does look like M&H gloves

Kieswetter is in all their 2013 product photography, with Wright. So surprising if he has moved on.

maybe half his kit got lost in transit or he is waiting for a new shipment from puma in india...

I've tweeted him, will probably get ignored or a rude reply back, that seems to be his way

As far as I aware he uses M&H. Like anything else it is only what is said and what I am the guys in my team have been told. How true it is is anyones guess but seems possible giving his location. A lot of Somerset pros I thought used M&H as well. It was a couple of years back so might have changed now.

as has been said above a few used to use them(stickered) back in the day

most recently van jaarsveld used an Amplus couple of seasons back.

apart from that actual pro's using them stickered is quite rare

unstickered of course is a different matter :)

Wasn't prior as well? He was even in the process of getting his own signature keeping glove, I think....

believe so.still on their website,as is Bres

normally the England players have a sponsor set up already, like Bell straight from slaz to kook

it's a bit usual to see an international like Prior out of contact for a whole series(india)

maybe he had something starting Jan 1st we just hav'nt seen it yet

Prior is still using blank bats, someone tweeted him asking if he was using a sponsors bat for the big bash to which he replied 'I'm using blank bats.' or something to that effect.

I saw that too, I did re-tweet it to them.
