Slazenger Oz bats, green Asics, those specialist thight pads...
what else can tempt me??
-
Perhaps some:
Redback Allegiance Pads MRH £35 Posted
Smasher API-G Pads MRH £30 Posted
-
Gray Nics Dual T20 ;)
maybe Puma Iridium gloves
-
get a screamer!
-
Seconded!
-
puma kit....
-
Yeah if your going anywhere near where screaming cat is, you might as well go and get a bat made their!
-
Yeah would have to agree if your anywhere near Sreaming Cat get one!
-
Get a screaming cat! Julians meant to be a top guy.
-
Get OZ GN/Puma - way better than english version
-
the GN stuff does look amazing, Screaming Cat is a great idea too. Is Puma different over there?
Shame Aidy isnt around, I bet he is knee deep in stash by now...
-
If I went to Aus I'd be knee deep in gash...
-
Thats what I thought the post before said... hes probably trying to get deep into Phil Hughes more like!
-
haha ;) that is brillliantt....yeah the puma stuff is different much nicer :)
-
Ha ha, that Phil Hughes obsession was odd, I bet he was gutted after the second test and he was dropped. Aidy was probably on that twitter page the minute he posted that stupid comment!
do you think he is actually stalking him and not really playing?!!!
-
ha, I would recommend you look into getting a screaming cat as suggested Julian is a great guy, Also look at some Remfrys if you can get a decent rate
-
almost defiantly
-
Yeah whats the crack with Remfrys? Ive heard he makes for test players? Any info on why his gear is so good?
-
custom made thigh pads and arm guards and stuff
-
Ah ok . . .he's an Aussie right? Has he a website?
-
Very expensive for your average customer though!
-
get it customised as per ur need with 14 grains bat with high middle as pitches over there suit to high middle bats can get it made as i make for many players
-
i've got a full set of remry's ,can recommend them ,well worth the money.
-
Matt can you post some pics of your gear... how did you contact him?
-
All the info is on here.

Screaming Cat 100% but i also rate Impala wouldn't look at anything else.
-
think impala went bust?
-
No i think they are still going just owned by KG sports and trade mainly within australia
-
i think impala's are more expensive than screaming cat.. i would get a screaming cat over an impala..

Which model of Impala and screaming cat you used m8 and did you try the softs or bat only.
-
haven't used either.. was looking into getting either one of them earlier this month.. emailed impala and they have been bought by Enduro Sports and i was quoted $700AUD for their top bat this doesn't include shipping.. I rang Screaming Cat and spoke with Julian and he said his top bat (Professional) would be $625 including delivery and he would knock it and include a pair of gloves.. Would think that getting a bat at a cheaper prices from one of the best batmakers in the world would be a better deal..
From what I understand Imapal's were made by Australia Wide Bat Company and they went bust.. Not sure who makes them now and I think Enduro Sports are just distributors, so they might have a local bat maker working for them since they did give me an option for a custom made bat..
-
Personally i try not to comment too much on brands i had not used as i would feel i had nothing to base my opinions on other than a difference in price, I've personally used both brands and like them both and will be using screaming cat kit myself again in 2010 season but i still have my Impala.
-
I never mentioned me using one or that one performs better than the other.. I based my opinion on price alone which i thought was pretty clear in my explanation.. and i was just saying what "I" would do and nothing about the performance of either..
-
I think alot of people need to be realistic about some things. Like any bat, not all Screaming Cats are absolute cannons. Hence why Kingsgrove Sports in Sydney stopped selling them after one season.My Mate had one and it was ok, just ok. If you were gonna pay $500 for the Premium off the shelf or whatever, Id get one custom made from Julian at Melbourne and sent to you in OZ... or if your down there get one custom made and go and pick it up. Worth it for 625 compared to a shelf one for 500+
Impala have sold all there machinery to KG Sports, but even KG Sports dont stock them and all GC sell is old stock. So Im not sure whose making Impala now but I doubt the quality from Robin would be that good.
Things to look out for in OZ ... hmmm... Gray Nics are alright. If youve got the $$ the GN Legends are undescribable but by far the best bats Ive ever seen and of the quality I dont think another bat maker in the world sells. The GN Ignites, in all ranges are good bats. All Puma stuff is very good. The softs are the best in australia by far.
-
That is not true Hads45, I got a bat made today and he was telling me how he used to sell his products to the various cricket shops and they paid him for the stock however he wanted to make the service more personal. But the cricket shops don't like it when a bat maker sells them some bats but also has the option to get a handmade bat by the maker in person. This is because the shops feel like they would possilby be missing out on the better quality willow. So he decided to stop selling bats to the cricketing shops and decided to only make bats by direct contact with him, whether it be in person, by phone or by email.
-
Also all brands produce bats that arent that crash hot, but thats part of cricket, you can many absolute cannons, but occasionaly there may be a dud amongst them.

Get yourself some real cricket bat stickers from kingsgrove or Greg chapel sports put them on e bay when you get back and double your money!!!
