So far at the moment ive only got some Self amalgamating tape, a grip cone and a GM grip applicator (only works for new grips without holes).
What else have you all got in your bag for that quick fix on match day?
I was thinking some firbe glass tape and bat wax...
-
Think bat tape for your grips if you use it.
-
Thats what the self amalgamating tape is for (cheap gripgrip, if you wish) works the exact same.

Just to save on space (and money) a carrier bag for quick grip replacement, haven't used anything easier!

A couple of spare grips, a grip cone and some fibreglass tape is all I need for running repairs on match day.
Incidentally, I have more tape and supports to repair myself than I do for my kit... :-[
-
I don't play test cricket. And I really can't see what would happen to my bat in 46 overs that would mean I need to do running repairs.
I tend to check the grips as I pack my bag, if it's worn it's replaced well before its gonna rip.
If I get a crack in the middle I'm not gonna stand there taping it up, I'll just call for the spare bat and repair it properly later.
Again stuff like grip grip and scuffs are applied well before I set off to a game, so I'm not sure why I'd ever need them in my kit bag.
3x bats ready to use is what I can, if I go through all 3 in one game it's been a strange day.
-
Spare grips, which tend to get nicked by team mates, so I'll stop doing that...
Fibreglass tape, scissors, bat cone, bat wax, small towel/flannel (for rain days)
-
I somehow have 3 spare bat grips in my bag despite having nothing to put them on with and no idea how to use a bag/cone!
-
I always carry around some spare spikes for my shoes (and a decent key to insert them) ! Somehow i seem to loose them randomly throughout the season..
Also have a bag of with Ibuprofen gel and Tiger Balm in for all those brusies.

I have fibreglass tape, a grip cone and spare spikes just in case. There's also usually some ibuprofen hanging around in case I need it.

If you can ever buy a decent key! ive only ever been able to get hold of the awful metal ones that just bend in your hand
-
Simple running repairs for me - knee brace (torn acl), ankle support (repaired Achilles), hamstring support just I'm case (see damaged ankle for running theme). Oh and a beanie for games in April / may / sept.
Bat wise I'm with smiley - if I break 2 bats in a game then I've batted way longer than normal
-
Nothing really.. Maybe spare studs, since I play astro. Bat tape, grips etc are in my practice bag, 3 bats for a match, as @smiley792 said, would be a strange day if they all snapped.
And for Preseason and finals I bring handwarmer like the one NFL quarterbacks use.. It's chilly in Denmark in April.
Always carry a medic bag with kinesiotape, moulds for snapped fingers, bandaid, painkillers, and regular farmaceudicals. Oh, and acupuncture needles..
-
3 other bats - that's the quickest fix I can think of!!

Best ones I have used! Don't bend, snap or hurt your hand and/or fingers, normally make sure I have 2 for the season, they go wondering in the changing rooms!

Looks like it'll wreak havoc with your gloves, @Woodyspin?
-
Seems ok for my friend who has always used one, then again he replaces his kit every 2 years regardless

Haha had my pads and gloves for near 4 years now

Obviously don't bat long enough, no way my gloves would survive for 4 years
-
Spray on suncream! Stops the hands getting slippery after applying.

No! No suncream it just induces more sweat!
This is my list so far though;
Fibreglass Tape
Spare Grip
Golf spike key
Sandpaper (not for the bag just for midseason refurbs)
Bat Wax
Cloth
Dont think there's much else I need haha
