Nice gloves leo! Do they offer good protection? I'm thinking of buying some ???Yeah mate - I havnt been hit yet - But they are the best gloves ive seen tbh I rekon they easily offer the same protection as Puma BD's and 6000's! The top of the hand is towell lined... it feels so nice!!
That BAS looks great Balfour
and also them gloves above look great! Quite like puma though

They are great Richie, comfy, light, very protective and yet not bulky. ;DCool, was going to get some but the Gray Nic's Powerbow Test's were the same quality but cheaper!!
mate i have one aero grip which I will be putting on when i get my AERO batting gloves to make sure the warranty is kept ;D.be careful when putting them on, the over lapping is very very minimal, i had to unwind my twice because i overlapped it too much
No just joking will put it on because i will have the batting gloves so the new gloves should offer better grip with a new grip rather than an old one!
This is my kit for the season but I am after a new helmet so that will be changing

Yeah I'm loving the bats Sammy!! Got enough tape on the Catalyst? :PWell my dad has started playing and is now using it and it has a lot of cracks and we had a fibre glass sheet lying around so I though I might as well put it on, as I dont want it on my bats

Hi all! This seems better than the other forum everyone just got into pointless argueing. Tom how do u get the plain slaz pads, do u just pull off the red bits?
This forum imo is better than CSF. Did you see the Australia topic. the aussies are still going head to head with the poms with earnest still saying ponting is crap even after his 156 then the aussies argueing back!! lolIf this forum is better then why do you feel the need to bring details from there onto here? Just leave the separate forums separate and I'm sure there will be no problems
Looks nice mate! Are they the 6000's and what grade is the bat?you cant get 6000 gloves unless they are bd
which is your local county ground then, who do you support?somerset ccc ;D and nice kit :)
Havnt got the money at the moment mate, but how much??

Not all my kit but most of it. The beast and hunts are crap that i never use.
My easton keeping gloves are not pictured

Most recent photo of my kit:

Will update when I've received my Grizzly batting pads and Warsop Plat
nice kit maxxed, i like the pads, bats and wk kit, but not the gloves, also could you please pm me the dimensions of the newbery bag.
aren't you getting aero discount? and wheres the aero bat?
How are the new kook pads and gloves maxxed?
When you getting all your aero?
Nice kit Tikolo. Are they the v (whatever the range alongside the v389) pads?Haha its not actually a V389, its just a stickered up bat
Also what's the v389 like?
What bat was it origanely Tikolo? and what's the performance of it like?It's a plain bat i bought from a local shop in Hong Kong
that willows poorexplain?
same i think there class :) looks much better now and feels better after chris sorted out the balance, needs to sort his satnav out like, nearly got lost! :P
really like the pads like majid and the bdm bat
Newberry looks nice, not to keen on the yellow Puma's though.
Leo they are brill keeping gloves i had a pair a long time ago Andy Pratt gave me them but sadley they were lost in the wildrerness that is my cricket kit :( look as if you got them recently? where from?
Graham what are the sub zero gloves like mate?
wheres the picture with the redback 09 pads in gone?, i want to have another lookArthur must have deleted them for some reason?
Top kit that marraa!
Sorry, the majority of us speak English, maybe try it sometime Chrissy?
I think Chrissy probably thought that "marra" was used all over the country.thank god its not ;)
Yeh, they are kinda bright! Comfy though!Handle length... what you ask for?
Usually they don't make the 5 Star as a custom bat, normally just off the shelf. I pleaded with them to make a few adjustments- in the weight I wanted (below what they usually offer), middle position, handle length and shape. I am glad to say they made me one up specially for no extra cost (which I offered). I have noticed they stamp the bats at the shoulder with the date the bat was shaped.
What happened to the toe of the bat on the left :SSorry I meant bat on the right! With the manky yellow bit!
its that one of those adidas grips on your nitro?
nice pads raymond, Slab your kit is naf:o I love slabs kit! Well the helmet is really naf as you say haha
whats the bag like? any chace of a formal review? not a fan of the pads or gloves mind but thats just my taste
What made you use the newbery stickers instead of GN - I swear you had loads of GN stuff :S?
Slab, could you please post close up pics of the back of your aero bat as i am buying some stickers and there is one thing i am unsure about.
Slab, could you please post close up pics of the back of your aero bat as i am buying some stickers and there is one thing i am unsure about.
like all that stuff looking to get a Newbury when funds allow!
Yeah definitely agree with you there about the Newbery, the beaut's Mike gets in are awesome.
And Adam, thanks, glad you like it, but I think it's far from the kits some people have. I'm not trying to impress anyone and I don't see the point in any more than one bat, especially not 3+ like some people do, or the same for gloves.
u wont believe this but andy caddick bowled to me at a training session on friday, he bowled 6 balls and one of them hit the back edge of my bat and chipped a very small chunk off :(Haha - how quick was he bowling?
i might ring him up telling him he owes me a bat :D
Hoes that Fusion of yours Chrissy... did you sort the problem?Seems okay mate.... just to need to get myself a sheet now.
Lovely kit, explain more about the newbery/millichamp... ???shape copied by tim at newbery, originally from millichamp, with c6+ handle. i think..
What will you actually be using, In order of preference etc.
The UZI looks immense, as do the Ballistic pads.
Did you ask where the guy you bought them off got them from?
When they break lol.should last a while your right, yes am planning on useing the aero's, just getting used to them as they really are different to normal gloves.
Should last a fair while. Plent of it + it's top quality.
Will you be using the Aero hands? As unless I'm mistaken the hybrid has an aero grip?
Also Durham -> Red pads?
nice kit,
couldn't have been blackwells pads as he is left handed and slogger is right handed by the looks of his purist gloves
blackwell still lives in Taunton, his wife has had twins last week so hes moving up to durham this month...but he has been up durham
hope these are ok liam.

Well... why you would pay more than minus £50 for those things is beyond me... HIDEOUSbecause, correct me if im wrong, cricket is not a fashion show, so having a quality pair of gloves that look weird isnt a problem
no pictures yet, but my kit
warsop platinium, short handle, 2lb 10, 13 straight grains, 2 of heartwood
GN ignite short handle, 2lb 9, 13 straight grains, 1/4 heartwood
2 x warsop venom gloves
warsop peerless batting pads
warsop white and black keeper gloves
warsop black and white keeper gloves
warsop keeper pads

What o people think of my kit?
([url]http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/breakey-acfc/100_0048.jpg[/url])
they're not allowed anymore?
where is havant?
Those pads are LUSH!!!
how did you get them?
any chance of me getting my hands on any??
when was it launched in India? can you share the price list as it will come in handy when i go to India next weekCouple of months you have been able to get the gear there. It may not have been officially launched but you can get hold of it pretty easily. Jadeja uses the Indian stickers, which are very slightly different.
Gear ive picked up throughout the season...
Particularly like my Kudos VS gloves that i got off my fav player...

some very good looking bats mate.
Is the 3rd bat from the right (with green shield label) a BDM bat with Laver Wood labels?? If yes, Mr. Mahajan should send you at least 2 new bats for free for your generosity:)
Give me a shout if you plan to sell either of your actual LW bats
think those pads are the nicest looking of that style, a lot nice than the gm rsbs
They look nice, quite comfy too. I have had the BAS version of these and they were the hens teeth
I Can Tell Pinchy That Hens Teeth is ur fav word! lol!
i think im gna steal it and add it to my vocab
Yep, you love it more than new kit you slaggggggggggg Haaa
are you going to get it refurbed?Nah I don't think so mate, I will probs get a toe guard but apart from that I think it looks ok.
Just ordered two monster energy decals for my bats one in neon pink one in black! Good old ebay!!
I only got seven bats n did u count 21?
Dont count the slaz hyperblade thats just a cheap bat and I will sell 2 bats from there.
cool stuff- thinking of getting one of those adidas bags. ebay i assume? How much, any good??
where did you get the stickers from? I want some- got any for me?!!
loving those pads aidy, where did you get them from?just rp pads with logos removed
([url]http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/stubbzy99/2007_06180008.jpg[/url])
thanks, I was going to sell it at first, that was before I used it!
Yeah, I chose the Hero stickers match my kit, as its actually an Icon bat.
i can see my blade there, far right! Did he say they were Pro edition Beast Pads? Because they are just standard ones from 2 years ago
alridd - Nice GM gear, a nice Masuri or Albion would finish it off nicely!
([url]http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af101/ashvir10/DSC00031-1.jpg[/url])
My kit for the 2010 season is:
BAS Vampire King Hitter Bat Size 6
Kookaburra Blade Strike Batting Pads
BAS Vampire Blitz Gloves
Adidas Club Arm Guard
Adidas Club Thigh Guard
Puma Iridium 90 MPH Inner Thigh Guard
Forma Tendulkar Helmet
Gonna Get the new Nike Spikes when they come available
oh lord !
why dint you get the bats refurbed before putting the stickers on !
LOL! The 'Oz Blade' Is my slogging/wet bat, so I didnt feel the need to refurb that as it would only be used a handuf of times. And the 'Pellara' is Brand new, it looks fcuked up because I applied a hammer edge on it, and i left the creases in, MA BAD! Does anyone know how to rectify this?
Hair dryer and fingers
bats of past and present!
([url]http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz96/slemdog2/aaaaaaaaaaaaaasticks.jpg?t=1262380256[/url])
Dont fancy pads or gloves ?
what do you mean? lol
haha its the only way to be!
one of those ham and egg hats, a long beard and an imaginary PHd too lol
It's aluminium tape (correct me if i'm wrong) because its around 2"10, so i tried to get it to pick up around the same as the NewberyOk, some very quality gear there!
great collection, all SS PLATINUM Reserves !!! but why did u took the TON Embosing off the bats??
no i asked them not to put any on i dont like them
and 3 of them are platinums and 2 are golds
yash
Sareen sports
i cannot tell in any more detail you will have to ask him your self
here is hes contact email
yashkhosla@hotmail.com
not sure ask him
yes why dont you just ask all these questions direct to him
it will be much easier and he is a very reliable guy so you should trust him
yeah well they do last a long time so it worth it and its custom fit
so it evan better and the remfry chest gaurd fits so much better than any other
cheers mate, its a bit tacky and worn here and there lol. and i have some adidas 22 yards low which are decent! as i said i'll post a pic of my full kit whenever i can be bothered!
The photo doesn't do the pads and gloves justice. The pads have only been used once and are hardly worn round yet and they also have a removable shin bolster inside them. The pads and gloves are by far and away the most comfortable I've ever worn. I believe Juilan has a new range being previewed in July of this year, not sure if that includes softs or not.
And yes, I bought a package deal off Cricket Box, but I didn't buy them off eBay - I spoke to Steve and we discussed what he had to offer.
i might have to speak to him for a deal like yours the kit looks the dogs so that is me deffo
getting some scat for next season already ;)
Here's mine. Missing my two pair of adidas spikes from it though aswell as whites and skins etc etc :)Love the kit. How did you get the logos off the rp pads ?

Thanks, just scrub them mate, hot water and scourer thing found in kitchen :L.Ok cheers. Very very sexy kit though. especially the purple pads :)
Thanks i'm pleased with it :), bring on the season now!!I Love that Mongoose. I Want one :(
I just thought I'd post the little collection I've put together for this season -
Can you guess which I'm going to keep for myself?

the canterbury looks very Laver ish
deffo the bulldog,aero,mb,ss ganaguly
tommy i carry around 5 pairs of pads mate nothing wrong with liking kit.
I understand there's no problem with having a lot of kit. However, having kit that you don't use "at all" as he said, seems a bit wasteful. My second point was that, I, personally, wouldn't feel comfortable wearing one pair of pads to practise in and another in which to play matches.Same Here Buddy.
tommy i carry around 5 pairs of pads
Why have one pair for nets and one for matches? Surely, they feel different?Uhmm the difference in feel is not that much for me. It is not that I will not be using the "nets" pads in matches
Also, why haven't you offloaded your CAs?
nice kit cover what is the ut bat mate????Thanks, I got that bat from someone for free. The bat says "Emglish Willow" but I don't know which one is it. If you notice properly the small hole in stocker shows there was huge knot there haha.
nice kit cover drive, which one is your match bat? I remember you offered me CA bat. is it the same Bat? Is this Bubber sher double presses?Thanks mate
selling any cricket balls ?
nice, are they indian made?
Nice kit mate!
Are you sponsored by Shark? Also what is that "black" bat?
The Grizzly and your soft goods look really nice.Cheers :) Was thinking of selling the RP Pads but not sure ? :/

tidy looking kit - nice looking gt's (warsop) - were those the OSM mens glove being sold cheaply, if so then your right, they were a bargain!thanks man. you were right about the back stickers being a bitch to get on ;)
I'm really liking the middle position, which is a bit lower than the platinum.
([url]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/dan_griffin11/83e7113e.jpg[/url])
what are the pads liam?
PM me with more info on the Kook Ice please bud?

few new additions....the c6 is out on loan and the lb laver has moved onto new pastures namely the number 11 at our club!
nope it the old one mate refurbished and had a hit last night it going well again
best bit about the picture all is for sale bar the remfry...even the laver for the right price seen my future bats
are 2 strap more comfy?
I love a bit of Abi Titmuss, there may some abuse but I'd guess at it being self......
High Quality kit there Liam, are they the UK RP pads? Which bat do you prefer? What bag do you have?
Great kit Liam! What's the difference b/w the Ozzie and the Indian RPs?
Nice kit Arif!
That OzBlade certainly looks decent too!
In fact it looks remarkably like a CA 8k, and I bet if goes like a train too!
Which helpful friendly person get you that lovely bat?
Tom... do people recognise you as Ayrtek when they play against you?

Oh yes, very classy.
Would love to see whole pictures of the pads?
Oh okay. Nevertheless it does look like a good stick.
Just wondering why do you prefer lots of fibretech scuff sheet near the toe?

Obviously going for the bradbury look. Pity I can't get my hands on the english bradbury thigh pad otherwise i'd buy it. Apparently it goes alright according to the Wisden guide. Ahh well...i suppose you can't see the thigh pad anyway so in terms of looks I've got it all down.
Found these on offer on the ECB website:

Just a quick comparism of the oversized GT profile that ill be giving ago shortly with any luck :) at 2.12 with 2 grips its the same weight as the scat so should make the perfect 2nd bat.

Found these on offer on the ECB website:Nice try Colesy but they are the UK version, the Aus version is as above.

who do you play for mate? not martinstown by any chance?Yes, have we met on the battlefield?!
no mate, i came to watch my mate ash play in the evening league cup against cerne abbas. admired your kit then :)Ah, I remember now. If I'd realised you were a forumite I would have had a nerdy conversation with you about it!
Ok, so completely new stuff from last time we played each other! Although thats the same with me!Terrible isn't it! Websites like this have a lot to answer for...
Ah, I remember now. If I'd realised you were a forumite I would have had a nerdy conversation with you about it!i know mate, thats why i was so interested in your bat :) good to have you along
Terrible isn't it! Websites like this have a lot to answer for...

Without the space between the forward slash and i
Made me go and have a quick look and a measure...all good just the photo.
And now my new GN Legend (Aussie edition).
Took me awhile to shell out the $ for this bad boy, but the feel in my hands was ridiculous. Amazing pick up and weight distribution. Edges are 37mm and even the toe is massive. Huge amount of wood for only a 2.8.
Very flat face, much like the E41's. I know the grains are not perfect (and yes for the price tag you would expect perfect) but this one picked up the best from the 5 that were available so I'm not too fussed.
Knocking it in as we speak and it feels so soft and the ping is awesome.
Anyway I will post a review once I use it in the coming season.

No different to her shoe collection!
I don't see a problem here.I see her problem... You've a Puma in there.... ;)
That Aussie Legend looks fabulous! Love the profile!
Those gray nicholls pads are horrendous! Nice kit otherwise mateI've had a few comments like that on the pads...
I can tell your that they are as bad on the ears as they are on the eyes Nick! Squeak!The squeak is terribly annoying.
Looks like you give the toes of those scats a battering jenks.
I think I need to tidy up my consevatory or my kit bag.

Hey Stewie. Yeah mate I don't know if its just a thing with scats but both have gone the same way....cracks that run across the toe and up the edge of the bat, hence all the fibreglass tape. They are the only bats it has happened with ever.
Hows your season going mate still using that H4L you had last season?

How on earth do you come to need so many gloves?
True but you don't have the chance of breaking your gloves digging out a Yorker ;)
I'm keeping very quiet! :(I could ask the same of you ;)
What do you do with it all? I have two sets of kit for use midweek and weekends. When do you wear each of your for pairs of shoes for example? Do you cycle through kit and bats? Do you have favourites? I'm intrigued as I wouldn't know what to do with it all...
But having said that, some bats are still brand new and haven't been used albeit they have been in my possession for a good period of time. It is definitely fun collecting these bits, but extremely addictive and bloody expensive hobby to have.at one point I had 20 and it was after a net with one of my mates who is an ex-pro that I decided to heed what he said which was that at pro level he was always encouraged to net and play in the same gear and using the same bat as it encouraged consistency. I now have 6 bats, which is still too many, but 2x two have an almost identical pick up, one is glorious and the other is for fun. I think you are far likely to be a better batsmen at our level if you are consistent in your approach to the kit you use and change only if what you have really doesn't work for you! Might be a slightly controversial view though!

Last count was over 100 but haven't counted and some have come, and some have gone! So I haven't got a clue!

That is some lovely kit CD and Good advise from Tim, now listen to that advise and send a couple of your bats this way ;)....i thought you had 2 Scats?
probably not million miles away for pros - but they do not face the wide range of conditions that us clubbies do, now do they...
Just come to West and take it mate ;)
I wish I had two SCATS :D
Are Masuri and Asics English? ;)
yes they seem pretty good, I really like the 909 pads and they are basically the same but the l.e. has better finishing, like leather instep.I've a pair of the D3O ones which are very comfortable. Very impressed with them myself.
Do you rate the GM pads buzz?
