Just saw this on Twitter -
"Big announcement tomorrow #massive @graynics is adding to the already impressive names of world class batters"
Any ideas?
-
Prior I reckon
-
Would be a great news if its Matt Prior as it has been a while since Gray Nicolls sponsored a local English keeper? Who was the last one by the way?
-
Phil mustard was the last keeper I think
-
Richard Blakey or warren Hegg
-
James Foster
-
Prior has gone to Spartan apparently.
GN do this a fair bit on Twitter and then never announce anything.
-
Prior said all will be revealed when the test starts, and thats not tmro, so cant see it being GN
-
Spartan

-
Who's currently without a sponsor then (other than Prior)?
-
what nationality are people thinking?
-
Joe Root
-
Just a guess :/
-
World class............... Amla?
-
World class............... Amla?
'World class' could well be more marketing gumpf...
Amla is a shout - are the Saffers playing ODIs against Pakistan?
-
Sorry to be disappointing you all, but it's simmy
-
Bopara, then again simmy might have more chance!
-
I find it odd that Prior's management would announce it on their website before spartan themselves announced what would be a massive coup.
Be interesting to see who it is. I don't think they could afford Simmy anyway, his demands are too high

Remember, GN haven't seen the photos from the fat bastud meat eating video...
-
It's a player signing at Robertsbridge, so not a current England player who is in NZ.
-
Alex Hales? Not in NZ and world class in T20 - Got a big reputation with latest performances as well
-
Eoin Morgan
I hope it is a "world class" batter though. Lets hope after all the build up we are not disappointed.
-
Michael Lumb!!!
-
Is Bairstow still out in NZ?
-
Alex Hales? Not in NZ and world class in T20 - Got a big reputation with latest performances as well
I doubt GM would let hales go with the stock hes building in t20!!
Lumb wouldnt be a bad shout but i reckon itll be a bowler dont know why, swanny going back???
-
based in sussex could it be RHB? a few have been dropped by adidas recently. debatable whether hes world class but they re going to big anyone they sign up arent they.

Would be disappointing if they regarded him as world clasaa

True and not quite the poster boy of cricket

Leave RHB alone! That boy can play!
-
maybe they've just re-signed Monty for another year, after his sterling efforts in India :D
-
What about Tres?
-
What about Tres?
Decent shout!
Remember tho people it won't be player who is out in NZ atm
-
Could even be Geraint Jones...he's been dropped from Puma recently.
-
jones was announced a while back that hes gone to GN
-
Decent shout!
Remember tho people it won't be player who is out in NZ atm
Wont be tres, he posted pictures of his kit from mongoose last week on twitter!
-
reckon its either bopara or steven davies
-
Doubt it will be Bopora, he's only just gone to SS and would have thought all bat deals last longer than 1 year for batsman
-
Yeah just looked at Tres's twitter - and also totally forgot that Jones went to GN.
It's like transfer deadline day
-
Not Davies, he's just posted his new Kook sticks on twitter a while ago
-
It's going to be Lumb, I can feel it in my bone...
-
we need a reporter outside robertsbridge.
-
wouldnt bracket lumb as world class tbh. i know they will exaggerate the signing, but if its him i will very disappointed.
-
I used to think it was tragic that I get excited about seeing a new signing for a cricket company.
At least I'm not alone....
-
You are not alone!
What about Scott Styris? Is he around Sussex again this year? Would be a good signing for a company with expsure in T20 tournaments?
-
Luke Wright maybe ?
Could well be an overseas player who will be playing for a few years in England. Marcus North, Simon Katich etc ?
-
Luke Wright hasn't long been with Puma has he?
Jamie Vince might be another good shout
-
My best friends sisters brothers aunties cousins babysitters dad has just informed me who it is....
-
Go on then...
-
Couldn't possibly say...
-
if you say simmy, im gonna kill you haha
-
Nah its Wilkie #biggun
-
It's you Reds aint it. That's why you are so desperate to get rid of the Kooks
-
D'oh!!!
-
Nah its Wilkie #biggun
It would be a BIG announcement if it was me.
-
Five pages!!
-
And we all know it'll be an anticlimax.
-
And we all know it'll be an anticlimax.
Of course. Some mediocre 2nd string bowler with an average of 4.3
-
Think of the poor sod who has to has to use that kit ;)
-
Wilkie is world class in needlework....
I reckon it's Graeme Smith
-

smith was in SA with his Irish wife yesterday digging up potatoes... not impossible, but unlikely for me.
I can confirm it isn't the Stig
-

We were offered Scott Styris but to expensive for us !!
-
Soooo no news yet? :( >:(
-

I think this answers our question then...
-
If it is Scot Styris its hardly groundbreaking news, how old is he now? Did they make as much fuss over the signing of James Taylor or Compton? who'd just scored 1,000,000,000 runs in a season
-
Still nothing announced? What a tease
-
All of us in the workshop met the new signing today. He's a fantastic bloke and we look forward to making an announcement very soon!
-
What bat is he going to use mate
-
Where is the announcement!!!!
The fans feel let down :(
-
I bet it's Fattus!
-
Darren Bravo?
-
Darren Bravo?
signed with Spartan
(http://static.ibnlive.in.com/pix/slideshow/02-2013/in-pics-west/darren-bravo-hundred.jpg)
-
Darn thought his brother did and Darren's world class.
Ponting still with Kook? Would be bug news if he changed to GN especially with T/20s over here and Aus GN

Ricky P is not very prominent in the Kook 2013 catalogue, I think he's pictured once, and certainly not mentioned/pictured anywhere near as much as he used to be.
Kookaburra is surely too ingrained into his identity, and vice versa though? Someone says Kahuna and you instantly think of him.
Would be a big scoop for GN, but it's a long shot in my opinion.
-
Jos Buttler?
-
Hales is in Australia playing for the Lions, I think.
-
Butler signed contract extension yesterday with kook
-
Wally Hammond?
-
Kook only tweeted about Buttler in last couple of days about going to pick his new bats up
Im sticking with my original guess of Hales
-
My reason for Lumb is the fact he's been with them for years! Hales is in Australia currently I believe
-
I bet it's Fattus!
Not me - I'm tied in with Kicking Horse for another 14 years.
-
Freddie's returning?
-
It's Luke Wright. If you could bet on it, I'd put my house on it.
-
Wow that's interesting, just signed with Puma, all the advertising done now leaving? Who's Puma's lead face now him and Kiesy have gone?

I've heard from 3 seperate sources now that they are getting out of cricket, in the UK market at least.
-
That's a shame, liked their new take on things
-
What about Tim Bresnan?
Could be classed as world class when on his game, been with Slaz a few years now and not in NZ with the rest of the team?
Also Slaz have been letting people go

Just gone to Woodworm in the last few weeks
-
I'll have a punt and go for Joe Root!
-

Of course - Duh!
Joe Root is out in NZ
-
I'm going for Luke Wright or Lumb
-
I think Tom mentioned on twitter this morning that its Luke wright.
-
I did, and also mentioned on here too. I don't know when it's being confirmed. But as I said yday, you could put your house on it.
-
Anti-climax then!
-
Now now - one player, twelve clubs...
-
Looks like its Luke wright.
@graynics would like to welcome our new signing to the brand. @lukewright204 is now on board with #maverick
-
