Haven't we been waiting about 12 months fire this to be official?
-
I'm going to have a wild guess this deal dwarfs most other kit deals out there...
He is a an amazing player, made for limited overs cricket.
-
Bat model 'Genius' seems perfect for AB
-
Hasn't there been a AB MRF bat out for a while already? Seem to remember seeing something for sale but can't remember where
Possibly but I would question the authenticity. MRF said to the cricket trade that the cricket side of his deal (he's been endorsing their tyres in India for a while) would start in November 2016.
-
Given his IPL popularity (I'd say only Kohli, Dhoni and Gayle come before him) I can only bet he's being paid an absolute truckload
-
He's changed sticker manufacturers? ;)
-

Genius is generic name used on kohli and other models too.
ABD series is called ELITE. His stickers in the above pic dont have that though.
-
Hasn't onlinestockist had this up for over a month
-
Fair play to ABDV, cash in on his IPL rep who can blame him?
Is he the new T20 only star? Seems to have lost the drive for test cricket.

He's been injured hasn't he? Saying that there was retirement talks when they played over here!
-
I thought New Balance replacing adidas as England's kit supplier was the worst kept secret?! Or is it now the worst after this revelation?

I thought the injury was a cover up for his issues with the quota system?
-
The pads and gloves are the same design as the kooks he used to use haha

I thought this is what this thread was going to be about
-
Correct me if I am wrong but ABs bats have been made by Bellingham and Smith since he was a youngster.
I know he certainly has a few made there and visits when he is back home - though this may have changed over the last 2/3 years.

English players in a South African branded shirt... Goes against everything I know about the ECB and their recruiting process! :D

NB is an American company.
The kit deal everyone is referring to isn't official until April.

Talking of which, they're going back to cream and traditional jumpers apparently.

Then its sure SS made since they have spelled the players name wrong in the past as well :D
-
Are you SSure?
-
Anyone know why he isn't playing today? I'm off work and was looking forward to watching him, I am right in thinking he plays for the Titans aren't I?

Sharpie on toe. I thought according to this forum that player bats don't have sharpies and only retailers do that to sell bats. Maybe Deviliers trying to sell his bats.
Recently saw Joe Burns and Moeen Ali trying to sell their bats too with Sharpie on toe.

I don't think people had issue with actual pro's using bats with sharpie on the toe, it was more certain retailers who happened to have hundreds of "pro issue" sharpie bats in at any given time looked a bit suspect... :-[

Seriously hundred at any given time. Never seen such retailers who are they.
Only ones I know such as cricmart who got probably 15-20 in a year. Also another seller I know in India who sold 4 player bats in the last 10 months.
Think it gets over exaggerated on here.

Yeah , this deal would be worth a sweet penny ...... reminds me of when Steve Waugh just signed onto mrf for squillions . He was playing a shield game against Tassie . One of the players ( can't remember who , but it was a regular shield player who never played international cricket ) sledged Waugh with 'c'mon , lets get this kashmir willow bat outa here' ! Waugh turned around and said ' yeah , well the contract for these 'kashmir willow' bats would pay your mortgage off twice over' !
