I take it he's either not happy with kook or they've dropped him??

Reckon he'll still be covering them up come Boxing Day?

Tried a refurb himself and cocked it up, we've all been there
-
I was about the say the same, i reckon he's either going to SS or a huge brand like NB

Bat refurbs often coincide with accidentally taping up the kook logos on your gloves.
-
Probably SS or CA.
-
Spotted that the other day. I remember the kook twitter page getting a bit of stick when he went through that patch of walking out with a stickered up Kahuna with BAS edge marks.
-
Isn't that the new minimalist Kook stickers for 2016?
-
As he's been using a stickered up TON for ages, maybe TON.
That or he'll go where the money is (read New Balance) and continue using a stickered up TON...
-
Surely he wouldn't sell enough bats for NB? Hardly a marquee signing.

I bet Steve Finn & Mark Wood sell loads of bats...
Marquee signing or not, it would be another player giving them exposure at international level.

No, I would imagine bat sales would be taken care of by Root and Stokes and their respective TC and DC ranges . Their appeal of Wood and Finn would surely be for the young fast bowler and the new range of bowling boots they have brought out. Couple that with Mark Wood's social media presence and I imagine they would go down quite well with youngsters. I would think that a part-time spinner and No.8 batsman has far less commercial appeal.
-
I reckon he'll end up using TON. With Bopara now not involved with England it would give them decent exposure.
-
Perhaps he's snapped up the M&H contract that was rejected by Nick Compton? Only joking.... it does seem odd that sponsorship contracts seem to work on the calendar year, not the English and/or Oz start of the summer / new cricket season... Given his county, would love it if he pitched up on Boxing Day wielding a DF Attack... Adidas need some England exposure I guess, but as others have said, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns to TON or even SG....
-
Considering who is manager is, I would say he is off to a Pakistani company (HS or CA).
-
Surely an Asian brand will be looking to pick him up, there's not many Asian players at the top of the English game, easy move if they're looking to increase sales in the UK. CA or similar maybe.

-

-

There is something special about the fact that, having now moved to Ton, he no longer has stamps on the side of the bats.
-
Likes a bit of heartwood i see! Good looking bats those.
-
Nasty dent in the toe of the one on the left

Haha. :)

But I thought SS had re-branded as Ton?
-
Prob kooks with SS stickers 😜
-

Think that's only in Europe due to Stuart Srridge but I'm sure someone will correct me.

He's an England player?
-
Lovely looking bats!
Must be great having the pick of the best bats and paying nothing for them
-

But the game isn't being played in England so they maybe pushing the SS brand via the labels due to it not being enforced.

OK. I was just suggesting the main target market might be the UK? Maybe that's a simplistic way of looking at it?
-
They don't look right without the stamps.
I wonder is SS have anything in the pipeline that will sit higher up the edges. It would have to be smaller than their current stamps so may not have the same impact as the big ones in the middle of the hitting area
-
Hasn't there been an ICC directive re. markings on bat edges?
-
I did say SS. :)

Yes, which is why I said higher up the edges, like Gray Nicolls have done...

i thought that but Bravo in the big bash has Ton stickers so maybe it applies to Aus as well
-
Who is Moeen's manager? Does he share the same manager as Ravi Bopara?
Regarding the bats - think Bopara used to sticker up his bat a bit shoddily too, that said more than happy paying to watch Ali and Bopara bat.

I think he does, if so then its Aces Middle East.
Same manager for Shahid Afridi and few other Pakistani players.

Cheers for that info.

Is this an old picture, or is Moeen back with Kookaburra?

More than likely, looking closer the bat pictured appears to be an SS anyway ;)

Noticed this today, weird that he's using SS bats in England. Batted very nicely though.
-
he has been using SS kit in the nets the last couple of weeks. although on a couple of occasions he has also had a kookaburra bat with him, mainly when practicing against the short ball.
not sure why but if i get chance i will ask him
