I don't care about oppositions comments, as hopefully they will be busy counting runs I'll score using these although they look nice in hand and most ask if they are pairs or I got them paired on request.

Why do you get comments (and what are they?) :D

"Here comes Chris Woakes"
"Even Chris Woakes could have hit that"
"Chris Woakes bowls better than you do"
"Chris......Woakes"
"Wooooaaaaakkkkkkeeeeeesssss"
Etc.
:D

This has to be the most sensible thread with the words "knob" and "backside" in it, ever!! :D

Favourite post in ages!
I quite like the coloured gloves, would rather have a matching pair though.

I don't know the exact term so filled the space with whatever seemed suitable. :D Also don't expect excellent English from me. English not my native language. Others will also sound/appear funny to me when they try foreign language :)

Someone needs to grt a sense of humour.

Was this deliberate irony? ;)

Funny , this ! Just last Saturday, opposition number 3 batted in the exact same gloves . I couldn't help but wonder about them . They look quite good in the flesh . I'd wear them except they aren't sausage fingers.

Like I said mate. Not native language. Sense of humour is out of question most of the times

Not really sold on the looks of the BDM gear but it is how it is used that matters. Life is too short for looking good (my excuse anyway ;) :) )
Did you have a look around the BDM bats when you visited the factory?
Looks like you got some bargains on the SS bats so I can understand why you wouldn't feel the need to buy more
I do got to look at some bats, like 6-7 of the range Dynamic super power etc. They were pretty good and light weight. However didn't tried them with ball or mallet but balance was great
I actually bought one, during First Purchase, The Sixes, a low range bat of grade 4 or lower, it is good bat but heavy and dead at tow. Might have cracked its face by knocking as bat was not responsive much
BDM are pretty soft pressed and would have taken ages to open up. And also they have long life sane reason
So I moved on and brought SS ones.
BDM guys have promised me that they can make a custom one too of the wood of my choice. I'll try it next time.

I've never had hands on a BDM bat... how would you describe the handle shape and thickness? Was the balance fairly similar to the typical SS (fairly neutral) or slightly different?
SS bats have lower middle but BDM have an inch and half upper middle(Middle Middle). Balance wise BDM were better and stroke wise SS. SS feels bottom heavy and same as their weight. Thickness is similar. Handle is mostly round on BDM and semi oval in SS. However both can provide different handles on demand but they are not for retail. Ratewise BDM were cheaper and discount was also good on BDM. Factory wise SS has big factory as its dedicated for Bats mostly and softs are prepared somewhere else. BDM has all at one place. I would hopefully try to get SG or SF bats next time if got chance
