Title: B&S Fireball & New Bag
Post by: tommo256 on February 10, 2016, 06:03:28 PM: Afternoon chaps,

I called into see Mr Du Plooy this afternoon as I often do, problem with him only being 15 minutes from my yard!
I was waving around some of these new bats of his, subsequently one has ended up in my kitbag, I have a bad ability to say NO!!
The bat itself is 2-10.2 I believe, has 40mm edges, nice amount of concaving with a duckbill. 8 grains with a couple of blemishes, responded very well off the mallet, and had a nice pick up!
I also bought the new bag for this year, and highly impressed again. Ive got 3 bats in it, 2 pairs of pads, 3 pairs of gloves, 2 pairs of spikes, thigh pads, my 'BIG' custom box and then 6 balls, spare spikes and tape. And honestly, if someone annoyed me at cricket I could empty it and hold them ransom in the bag!
Anyway pictures:

Where is the bat section?

I believe its at the back of the bag. If you look you will see that behind the main compartment zip is another. This is where the 3 bat pockets are located. Seperate from main compartment.

One of those adidas bags is the only thing missing from my kit! I love the hold-alls and the duffle!

Post by: Mattsky on February 20, 2016, 08:36:56 PM: Tom, does the duffle have an internal valuables pocket?
It doesn't go into any details on the website, which is a shame.
Like the look of it so far though.
Is it an absolutely mahoosive bag, or is it reasonably sized?
Title: Re: B&S Fireball & New Bag
Post by: GDP1964 on February 20, 2016, 09:47:30 PM: It does have an internal valuables pocket with Zip it's not mahoosive but more than adequate for all your kit including keeping gear
