At the end of this season i'm sending away my Kudos for a refurb and general tidy and im thinking of getting a replica produced. At the same time I will be sending away to team mates bats, an old Ace cricket bat that is more railway sleeper than a ninjas sword and a Slazanger Micheal Clarke that is held together with around 13 rolls of batting tape.
Who are your recommendations for this, I am leaning towards Ryan Kelsall as his bats look stunning but not heard anything about his repair work. Anyone got any experience with this or can recommend an alternative.
Cheers
-
I believe Red Ink have a very good reputation for this kind of thing.
-
Ryan's excellent at repairs as is James at Jedi,(he apprenticed at Ace bats)
-
Cheers fellas, I will go with Ryan I think. Will be in touch with him soon for what shall be my first Forum bat.

B3?
-
I thought about B3 but being in Cumbria, Ryan (Wakefield) is slightly more accessible should I want to pop in.
-
Another Cumbrian! Whereabouts you based pal?
-
I'm west Cumbria marra, from Egremont.

Is there another part of Cumbria? I'm at work in sunny Workington right now.

Not that's worth mentioning anyways. I'm back to Gods country this evening currently working in the south of the county, not a patch on the West.

Good man. Who do you play for?
-
I play for Egremont mate (despite living in Ulverston for work). Could not see myself playing anywhere else locally. Who do you, no doubt we will have crossed paths before.

Haven't played weekend cricket for the past few years due to other commitments (looking to get back into it next season!) but I used to play for Baggrow & Blennerhasset and I still play for Isel in midweek (both out round Cockermouth/Aspatria area), village to my very core haha. Know a lot of folk around Egremont way (a lad in our band is from Egremont) but don't know a lot of cricketers out that way.
-
I used to play a lot of midweek cricket playing for a few teams, have played Isel on numerous occasions. Is the McGuffy Buffet still open or not? Not played at Baggrow for a long time, probably not since juniors.
-
Haha! Class! No I've been skipper for the past few years so McGuffie only gets trundled out at the odd friendly nowadays unless we're ridiculously short, I would have loved to bat against him! I've been playing for Isel for about 12 years now so no doubt we've played each other before a few times, who did you play midweek for?
-
As a junior I played for a few, egremont when we entered a team if not it was one of St Bees or The Sun Inn. It has probably been 10 years ago I played, when I was 16.
Playing against him at Cockermouth school once and I retired in the first 5 balls of the innings, 5 hip high full tosses all hit over the hedge on to the road! Was like facing the pastry shelf out of greggs! Meat and potato pies everywhere!
-
"Bowlers name?" "Mr P. Chucka!" haha. Well he hasn't got any better marra, when you bowl that slowly and still miss the carpet from time to time, somethings going seriously wrong!!
Haven't played down at St Bees for years! Lovely ground if I remember right (the school is a nice ground too) but bloody windy!
-
OMG two fellow Cumbrians, I might be playing against you next year @northernboy1987 as I play for Moorhouse in the mid-week league (you guys got promoted this year right?). I fancied a trip to B3 @shamelessshaun but like you said its like 3.5hrs drive just to get down there!!

This is like the entire population of Cumbria (minus the sheep) on the same forum!!!! Ahh spot on, yeah we got promoted in the CDCL (despite my best efforts haha :D) where do you guys play your home games is it at Pirelli? You won't fail to recognise me when we play 1: I'm the skipper and 2: I look more like a caveman than a cricketer haha! I'm totally in the same boat re: B3 the drive (to be fair it's the same to get anywhere from West Cumbria) puts me off. Shame about that cricket shop in Penrith shutting down like.

Yeah we play at Pirelli but that could change come the start of the season next year as they are planning to build on the site soon. Yeah its a shame there isn't a dedicated cricket shop in Cumbria anymore and I hate shopping online when it comes to cricket stuff as I want to try before I buy.

We play at Nelson Tomlinson School at Wigton, it's alright like, quite big boundaries though.
I don't mind ordering online so much if I can talk to someone trustworthy/reputable first, like I have no qualms ordering from IJC for example (although I've never bought a bat there to be fair) but I had H4L make me a bat based on me roughly describing what I wanted on an email and I couldn't be happier! A lot of the lads on our team are very much try before you buy though so I understand where you're coming from.
Also if you play us next year wait till you see one of our guys bats, it's the definition of village, more tape than bat.

I think we've completly derailed this topic haha, we've also got a guy in our team with a bat covered head to toe in tape (electrical tape as well!!!). The new Warbird from H4L looks top dollar, gonna be hard to resist buying one
