James Vince the England U19 player to sign with Mongoose?? Anyone know about this.....
-
Nope - news to me
-
Rumour I think Dan.
-
Where did you hear that he was gonna sign with Mongoose? Guess Tom would be the best guy to ask eh?
-
Don't see why he'd want to switch from Gm? Unless there was something in it personally for him!
-
££££££ ??
-
Lot more exposure with Mongoose too.
But this one is a rumour for the moment, good player though.
-
Too much money I guess?
-

He has plenty of time to knock it in as they were well beaten today by the West Indies.
-
Just thought I'd confirm that Vince is still with GM and won't be a Mongoose player.
-
People cashing in?

-
No, both are authorised stockists. Wisden's sell a lot on Ebay.
-
Ah ok, do you expect to see more on here?
-
Chris benham mongoose player !
-
Yep got a few County players. 10 or so, Ian Blackwell is the biggest name.
-
I'm up there next week for a meeting and i will keep an eye out for the Mongoose, did Ian ask for anything specific Tom.
-
He went to Hunts and had the bats made in front of him.
Don't know his exact spec.
-
What other players have signed with Mongoose?
-
I take it most will be using the CoR3 for anything other than T/20.
Well done Tom though :)
-
Tom last time i was up i was speaking to another of the Durham first team who's contract was running out soon with his current sponsor and i got the feeling he was looking around at a new sponsor and he is a very good player.
-
Blimey - certainly splashing the cash around.....have to speculate to accumulate though - blacky had a good season last year, you'll be hoping he can emulate this year.
-
Exactly right. My guess is that there are only 2 brands out there selling upwards of 5k bats a year without an International player using their gear.
-
Yes wasn't it 100 bats a day you are selling Tom? If so heavy quantities for quite a small developing company!

Newbery and Salix??
-
A good day is 100. You have to remember how seasonal cricket is though, you can do loads in a month in Sept through to April but then it all goes quiet.
That gives me plenty of time to look at next years ranges though :)
-
Hardly small any more not many people in cricket have not heard of the goose
-
Newbery and Salix??
Do Salix make that many?
-
Just because they're well known doesn't mean that they aren't a small company...
-
Do Salix make that many?
No, probably 20-50 bats per day, at best...
-

any jobs going over there at gooseHQ? Lol, I'm out of a job next month, worth asking for a laugh
-
Kember wouldnt be making 20-50 bats a day in his workshop......he would need outside help to produce that many.....but he wouldnt be selling 5k, i think Leo was suggesting this to elicit a response from Tom - who is suggesting that Mongoose sell in excess of 5k bats a year.
-
Far too early to say what Mongoose sell in a year, haven't done a full season or year yet.
-
well going on 25 bats a day, which isnt unreasonable considering the amount of exposure mongoose have had and paid for, heightened by all the frenzy surrounding the IPL - i make that 3750 bats sold through the season, plus or minus good and bad days - that leaves a 1000+ bats to be sold in the 7 months between september and april, which again might be a push but not impossible.
Whats been the most popular bat so far (numbers sold) - the MM13 or the COR3?
-
Tom said on another thread that they're selling/have sold more MMi3s than Cor3s.
Tom's quote from Ashvir's Mongoose review page "Probably 70-30 in favour of MMi3"
-
Shilly that interested me aswell, thats why i asked it before, would have suspected it to be nearer equal, but 70-30 to mmi did shock me, i know they are the radical, exposed product but still to sell so many when its so different and specialised shocked me! Be interesting to know how many have gone for the top end and plan on using it and how many have gone for the cheapest just to mess around and try it out!

Well we will see in the summer how many people we see with them
-
Just got my hands on a CoR3 Custom Pro. First impressions are you can tell that it's not a traditional blade in terms of length but it compensates with a thicker blade as you would imagine. It picks up very well actually but it's too heavy for me at 2.12/13.
I like the stickers (even though there are some random stickers lol) and the grains are lovely and straight. Edges aren't massive but the spine is quite high.
Pictures on later.

Looks a nice clean blade, does the lack of a bow affect the pickup in any form Colesy? Does it ping nicely off a mallet?
-
The pick up is nice actually, surprisingly nice. Just briefly tried the mallet and it has a long middle but not the length of the blade.
it is 2 or 3 oz to heavy for me but none-the-less a very nice bat.
-
did you order 2.13 or did you order 2.10?
-
nice looking bat by the way, looks a stunner!
-
2.12 then my friend changed it to 2.13
(It's not my bat, a friend's)
-
what are the back stickers like? when I saw a couple in the Lord's shop they were already peeling a bit
-
They seem fine :)
-
How many sponsorship requests you getting at the moment Tom?
-
Lost count, most of them I don't have time to reply to.
-
prob mostly 12 yo kids who play 3rds with a top score of 13no
-
got my email then matt ! lol
-
Jim Allenby using Goose gear today, he got 57...
(http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/116200/116223.jpg)
-
Good lad I like Jim although that looks a terrible shot. Mainly because he went to the same school as me I should add..
-
where can i get mongoose gloves & pads?
-
you cant yet!!
-
chamrar kapugedera mongoose player
-
sajid mahmood using blank bats at the mo, are mongoose gonna make him an offer tom?
-
No.
-
why is he without a sponsor/brands such as yours catagorically stating they wudnt sponsor him? have i missed something that hes done wrong? (granted hes not the best player in the world but worse players have good sponsorship deals)
-
How much is ashraful bat Tom
-
He hasn't done anything wrong, but he doesn't fit in with our plans as far as I'm aware.
He isn't playing for England and we already have a couple of Lancs boys signed.
-
Pro, I'll email you photos tomorrow.
-
Cheers Tom
-
Possibly not in the England frame currently but a lot of people in the know are suggesting he should be especially if Harmy is going to be overlooked but others look to be higher in the pecking order.
-

Was going to ask if you had an academy lad signed up. Went watching them net during a break in Lancs v Warwicks last week and the lad batting was all 'goosed up
-
We have Jimmy Anderson and Adrian Shankar signed. Shankar is the ex-Cambridge Uni captain and was probably the upcoming player you saw.
-
imo you should sign peplow ;)
but i think mahmood is awful, i owuldnt sign him when there are plenty more fish in the sea, many that are bigger better fish!
-
Mahmood is wearing RBK batting pads, amir khan is his cousin isn't he, and sponsored by rbk? Could be something there?
-
I played with his brother at horwich in the Bolton league rakib
both top lads and if anybody think Saj is not a top class English player
show me somebody as quick English I suspect he will get another chance
-
I think Mahmood has had his chances now and Finn will replace him now....pace is all good but he cant control it or put it on the spot consistently
-
sajid mahmood using blank bats at the mo, are mongoose gonna make him an offer tom?
He's signed with Kukri now.
-
Kukri make bats?

What more of a reason for using a mongi could u want

Shankar will loose his contract almost certainly...and I'm not sure he's actually 25.
-

whys this mate
-
Well because he hasn't done THAT well over two years, and usually to make it big you need to be plundering runs in 2nd team cricket. And the thing about his age is based on his FC debut being in 2002 suggesting he went to Cambridge in 2001 aged 16. Maybe possible but doesn't seem that likely...
