Yep, kosha. awesome signing for adidas !!
-
so his newbery bat is going to have adidas stickers on it now - they must have paid big bucks for him to endorse their gear!
-
Maybe it will be his SS stickered or maybe he'll get the best of Adidas'. I doubt there's many who truly know what he's using at what point, he must get 100's of free bats his way.
-
which is made by some one . . .
-
Tendulkar has always had a endorsement deal with Adidas for their shoes and apparel. So it was logical for adidas to extend the association.
Also I read somewhere that only companies who have in-house or contracted manufacturing of equipment are allowed to put their endorsements on the bats, softs etc. (basically on equipment). This is the reason why everone from MRF to Britannia to Hero Honda have contracted either SS or RS or SG etc......
btw, Nike equipment will be available in the next season ...at least in India.....
-
i can gaurentee he wont use addidas soft goods
-
he wont. He uses Morrant pads with MRF stickers and BAS gloves. Soft goods will remain the same except for the labels (i guess so)
-
I would hope Adidas change their range to accomodate him. Produce a Tendulkar line of goods, with his own stickers, pads and gloves. Would be a big seller in India.
-
They don't have to do that. MRF bats are huge hit in India - any guesses why? Just because the little master endorses them......
Also they may have to pay more in terms of royalty to the Little Master if they take out a specialist ST line......
But quite possible....... Fiat came out with a LE car with S10 and his signatures on it. Sold for 60% more than the normal car and 3-years of productions booked in the first year itself (limited to 100 cars only)
-
“I have had a fantastic partnership with adidas for 11 years. I have been using their clothing and shoes. Now, I will use the bat and pads too. The bat that I use now is lighter than the one I used in 1989. But, I have not drastically changed the weight of the bat,” said Tendulkar at the launch of the adidas range of bats and other cricket equipment that will hit the market in four to six weeks.
Adidas India MD, Andreas Gellner, said that inputs from Tendulkar, Australia skipper Ricky Ponting and Indian opener Virender Sehwag would be used to make the customised bats for the market.
-
Tom is right about him getting given 100's of bats a year, 500+ from makers, mainly from Indians as they want him to have the best and to meet him but also many batmakers will take him bats and then boast of making for him, M&H for one. However he actually buys bats from one person despite the freebies.
-
Did anyone see Tendulkar use the adidas bat today?
Mike who is that one person who makes bats for Sachin??

-
the back of the bat looks even better ---- it has the Icruza stickers
-
a very larely adidas sticker on the front
-

-
He uses Newbery's, SS and anything that takes his eye.

Your right Tailsman as you can see he has a hammer edge sheet which is as far a I can tell a Newbery bat.
-
you would of thought adidas could of spent a bit more time designing the front sticker!lol
-
Yea good shout, why is he not using the front normal stickers?
-
I'll text him tomorrow and see what the deal is.
-
Just asking mate. geez
-
i think the front sticker on that looks better, simplistic is the best way i think.
-
It does look good I am just wondering why.
-
You misunderstand, I WILL text him tomorrow, I'll post his reply.
-
Mike have received my pm and email?
-
i would like a simple 3 stripe design with a simple logo, looks best
-
I WILL text him tomorrow, I'll post his reply.
Any news
-
No, who does he think he is not replying!!!!
-
Well i'm not really suprised, if you did really text him!

Having a hammer edge on a bat does not mean that it is a Newbery. Not that I am saying that Newbery do not make bats for the "Little Master", maybe he likes the hammer edge sheet and may have bought some from Newbery along with his bats. However, if you see most of his bats he still has either a clear antiscuff or the fibertec facing.
Anyway he is the most sort after cricketer in the world and no batmaker would like to loose the opportunity of making a bat for him.
-
hey , i have just got of the phone to hanse cronje to ask what bats he used but apparantly he is a bit snowed under with all the cricket he is playing at the moment!!

that is so cold and out of order u shud be ashamed even if he did match fix
-
that is totally out of line ! admin you should ban him ... that's just wrong..
-
can some one explain what he means plz?
-
If it's the Hanse Cronje reference you don't understand then I suggest you Wikipedia him and read the part about his death.
-
I never new adidas made cricketing bats, what's next Umbro!
-
Just saw this thread. I played with Paras Mhambrey (Google him) in 2006/7- he was my overseas player and club coach for a couple of years. He is also Sachin's best mate and used all his "hand me down" kit. Tendulkar actually uses some really big BAS Vampire bats, obviously with no markings. Always has done. If you look at the profile of his "new" Adidas bats, it is the same as all his previous gear.
-
Well he can pick and choose from any compnay in the world for were he wants his willow.
-
Ive heard Tendulkar uses bats from all different types of companies, MG2, Newbery, SS etc
-
Can admin please ban the T**t that posted the 'Cronje' comment, anyone who really cares for cricket would realise that was so inappropriate. Loser
-
i think he's banned already
-
yeah he got banned for this and being annoying on trading stuff
-
front sticker is a lot nicer imo and the fella who came out wid the kronje comment what a Bell sort of person id like too see in a dark alley :P
-
I'll text him tomorrow and see what the deal is.
Did ST ever reply?
-
Yes, but only to say that he has signed for 5 years as he feels he can play for India for that long and nothing else has changed apart from Adidas being far more media savvy so doing lots of adverts in coming month's. Plus will meet him when next in UK.
-
i hope one day that I will be able to meet Sachin Tendulkar just like that . . .
would be even better to be the one people want to meet
-
He has property in London, how hard can it be to find him?
-
Didnt do too well this morning, Siddled!
-
Ive seen him get out like quite a few times now, it was a nothing sort of drive
-
Looks like Australia might be chasing a fair few.
For once, Dhoni converting a start into a big score!

What do you mean 'for once'? The guy has 4800 odd ODI runs at an average for 50 and strike rate of 90. It's not he plays for not outs.
-
any one seen the new adidas sticker tendulkar using?
look very strange and very very different to anythin else?
cant find a pic yet im sure later they will be somewhere
-
ha ha i cant believe my eyes i think they are adidas
but adidas kind of combined with sergio tacchini!
ha ha how chavy on tendulkars part, maybe the 2 companys havin a deal or him sponosred aswell by sergio tacchini
na im joking it just looks like the logo but has his name!
new special tendulakr adidas stickers look very very cheap!
-
They look awful! He deserves better!
-
They look awful! He deserves better!

you get angry too easily ;D ;D ;D
but you are right and hat what matters - Dhoni is immense! probably the best striker of the ball in od cricket but he can get so much power and keep well - i have been told to not build my muscles as i will lose the flexibility needed by a keeper.

Its not like gilchrist was 6ft and hench, OH WAIT

the meat on those bats make them look so small!!
the profile on the 2 bats looks different. The one on the front seems to have a slightly higher middle and the one at the back a very low middle. Also the one on the back seems to have a much bigger profile.
Again case of all edge no spine..... but it works...
Judging by the top of the handles and the bow in the bats, none of these look like the Newbery bats posted earlier in this thread....
A question for our resident bat makers - would a bat maker require a bigger cleft to make such a profile? What would be the specs of the willow required to make these monsters?
I feel achieving these massive edges in a 2.12-2.13 bat should not be a problem...
-
One has a much lower middle than the other, but I like the look of both of them
-
and those look like all the adidas football style stuff did/does to similar to the cricket stuff
-
Its crazy- why does all of his stuff always look so tired and knackered??
-
Most likely as he gets so used to his gear that he doesnt want to change it.
Those bats are fairly meaty too :D
-
just seen his new bat today the new adidas bat looks pretty crap - the stickers that is - imo but he is batting well with it so cant complain
-
Getting a lot of exposure with this innings :p
-
Tendulkar batting very well today one of the best innings i have ever seen shame he couldnt get 200 especially as jadeja robbed a lot of strike
-
Talisman has one of Tendulkars bats and i'd pay alot of money for that bit of art- it's flippin impressive and looks identical to the profile on the picture shown above - Yash, why do you presume by the bowing on these blades that they are not newbery? With regard to making a bat like this out of a cleft, i doubt the cleft was any larger than usual, just light clefts - just very little to come off the back of it when shaping, easier almost!
I wonder why he has so much taping around the edges, a laminate perhaps?
-
Nicest stickers out imo
-
The handle springs look a dark reddy/orange colour, same as the SS Test bats I have in my office.
-
after dislikeing them alot,
after seeing them a couple of times, i like them,
I think there pretty good
-
tendulkar was immense today !! dont think ive seen a better innings..
