Title: Cricket Bat Toe Boot
Post by: Sitonit on July 04, 2017, 09:06:55 PM: I think I saw one about good 30 years ago. It was not as high but I am wondering, do they still sell this kinda accessory?

I hope not.
One for the 'most village thing to do to a bat' I think.

The good old days... ;)

Thanks for the lead but they don't seem to carry it anymore. I received the following reply.

We used too but sold out some time ago I’m afraid.

Unfortunately we’re unable to source any more.

Best Regards,

Or you could go to the prophylactic section of the pharmacy. ;) :D
