Title: BJ Watling kit for India test
Post by: Warneymonster on February 07, 2014, 10:42:28 AM

Watching the test match last night I spotted Watling using a new. Kookaburra with white/orange stickers?

Kept in matching gloves as well, anyone know what model it was as never seen it before anywhere?

Maybe its a preview to the new aus/nz 2014 range.

Hopefully the AUS V SA test series can shed light on it

The batting gloves are Kahuna, but orange. The wicket keeping gloves are the 1000's, but orange.

Interesting to note they are made to the UK spec, not the Southern Hemisphere spec. All Southern Hemisphere gloves I've seen this year have the distinctive triangle padding housing the logo that you can see here.

No idea what the bat is, or what the range is/will be called.
