I have been away on a recruiting drive come home and this was waiting for me.

bat has no stamp but is under 2/10 and 49mm edged...(well around 2/10 really a smudge on my uneven scales mind).

my b3 and chase have some right competition now...

small mens pads too my wife must have been listning

Your woman has better knowledge of gear than most club cricketers @procricket!

she has bought my 3 bats this winter and pads and gloves.

she knows I like equipment (but not to look at I'm no collector).

Guess I'm sorted for the season now and her reasoning is I get ichy feet but she knows will not want more now..

12 years of pain for her and living rooms full of bats....

already planned a mod on the bat a square toe is needed.

I do not really do big brands in truth but my first ever grown up bat not 2nd hand was a gn and the best pads I have ever used where test opener (air cushion principle).

Unbelievable! This is gonna cost you in the long run though, "remember when I bought you that bat, well..."

she has already had it though the dam Pandora shop..

However she has bought me some right kit this last bit is a bit over the top and too costly for my liking....(incase it doesn't get used)....

The more times this thread is bumped the more of an itch I get for some GN in my life!

Re the stickers - its a bit late now (and possibly useless advice anyway) but I always put a scuff sheet over the grade sticker on GN's. I can't tell you why I do this but it would have prevented the smudges

not keen on pads and gloves !!!!!

Bats great really great but legend pads are bulky around the knee area and I do not like the uneven feel of the twist in them.

gloves are ok but in my opinion not a patch on the bas players...

(Un?)luckily I was hoping for a plain pair  :)

On the topic of GN pads are they all twisted? I remember my Oblivion Tests from a couple of years ago gelt funny on my legs because of a similar issue.
