Not quite to the extent of you but most of my kit is Gray Nics.
x3 bats
x2 Pads
x2 Gloves
-
That is what one would call, a filthy H4L stash thats worth of a banana getting peeled.
-
to be fair with sexy looking kit like that who could blame you!
-
Blimey :o
-
yes i have everything chase including my keeping gear but i never use only one brand
-
Blimey :o
You'd better thank him but at the same time check the doors are locked ;-) ha ha
I thought this was bad, and yeah i added personalised Nikes to match the Lid!! But was with the company at the time!!
I salute you and your loyalty you crazy ol goat! :-)

Never managed to get all matching kit, always end up not liking something in the range. Be it the bag being to big or the pads not fitting.
Really like the H4L kit.
-
If I saw you turn up to a game against us, I would tell you that you are the first person I have met who has a good taste for gear. 8) Everyone up here uses the same old CA, Kookaburra, GM, etc. which are good brands, but you get tired of seeing them all the time! Also, I have never seen a H4L in person before. :-[

Marcus that's selfish. Looks absolutely that kit
-
Yup,
I use all Gray Nics gear, plus Masuri (now Ayrtek) lid and Asics shoes.
''It's almost like someone knows someone at Gray Nicolls'' - From a guy standing at silly point. I middled it into his knackers next ball and replied ''i run a cricket shop mate, you bought those spikes from me 2 weeks ago.'' - In hindsight i should have added; ''i'll put an extra small box aside for you too, looks like you need a new one...''
''Ooooh, sponsored? big time Charlie'' - From opposition skipper at 2nd slip. That half century in an all out total of 108 was satisfying on a green seamer.

You sound like my spin bowling partner at my old club. All GN stuff, including 2 customs his girlfriend (now wife) bought him for his 22nd (she's an umpire, well into her cricket, so she's pretty sharp with what stuff he likes/uses!) and has had GN for best part of 10 years, until I saw him at a midweek game with a GM bag... He looked at me and said (I quote) "don't you dare say anything, it's only temporary!" Clearly someone loves GN a little too much ;)

Add a tempo to this and its my dream kit :)

If you haven't used a H4L bat you are missing out Chad...you gotta try one...

No Tushar! I can't buy any more bats!!! :-[ Okay, maybe one more... :D

Definitely agree with that

I use the shops own brand of Lion equipment too, mainly sundays, and have been very partial to B&S gear over the years. But yeah I feel a little dirty using a cheap blank bat at nets (to protect my treasured GN sticks) when everything else I've got on is grays.
-
Yeah I agree Chad you should get a H4L bat, is only fair given all your other bats. Plus they are great bats.
-
I think using just one brand of kit is a terrible idea... ;)
I just need one of those blue bats that Joe root and Alex hales use...

The gloves on the bag below the pads are the ones for sale in that section

to be fair im that OCDish (is that a word?) about my gear that everyhing made by 1 company is deffo the dream! haha although im also distracted quite easily aswell so always end up on here going 'oooo a new shiny thing i want it' and end up adding another maker to my growing pile of kit!
-
When I was growing up I had all GN gear - no idea why it ended up that way as I certianly didn't guide the shopping (although GN was my fav brand growing up).
Now I still have a GN soft spot, but use mostly smaller brands (less seen on the pro scene anyway!)
-
I've got everything Cicada apart from my WK gear, always try and get everything from the same company, i'm with you!
-
I'm definitely a 'bitsa'.
Bitsa this and bitsa that... ;)
-
no, wish i did, sort of, adidas bat, gn gloves (probably the comfiest kit i have), slaz pads, masuri lid, puma spikes, gm inners, real mix of kit :/ id love all the same kit with an ayrtek but being at uni funds dont allow :/
-
I've always had a mish mash of kit. I wouldn't go for all the same brand now as I'd get ripped, playing in division 12!!
-
Am i missing something here?
Why is it a cause for any lyrics by having the same make of kit for everything?
It doesn't mean you have more kit than you need, you only have the same equipment, pads, gloves, bat, bag, etc so whats difference just because it has the same logo on?
-
I must admit, it's all wasted on me - the only thing I notice is what bat a guy is using.

It's the oooh he's sponsored or he prentends to be sponsored if you have all the same kit. It's an automatic sledging opportunity.
Then again, this is just bat, gloves, pads. Doesn't matter about the bits you can't see.
-
For me it has just been bat/pads/gloves (so far its just Gray Nicolls, Newbery, Gunn & Moore, Puma, MB Malik and Millichamp & Hall) only.

This makes smashing a load of runs against the clowns who say that type of thing all the more satisfying. :)

-
Same gear all the way for me. I have full Newbery, Salix, Warsop and Gray nics (when I pick the new bag up from Paul.
-
I also like to get the same brand for everything i get.
Makes me feel sponsored :)
-
Getting closer luke......
-
2011 I used pure GN
2012 I used pure Kookaburra
2013 will be more a mixture BUT I'll still match my pads, gloves and bat. Just makes it all look good.

used to until AERO came along
