Is it just me or does this look like cook?
-
What's the odds on Mark Stoneman walking out in Kookaburra gears tomorrow...
-
All I've got is Starc and Hazelwood. Both already Kooka...
-
That's one of the Marsh brothers! Think Mitchell already uses Kook so is it Shaun? Think he was a Gray Nics lad.

It's a uk announcement so I'd assume one of the English boys
-
Think it could be Woakes or Roland-Jones

TRJ?

Looks TRJ to me too
-
Snaffled away from Newbery now he's forged a name for himself in the set up 🤔
-

You've misspelled woakeSS and Roland-JoneSS ;)
-

Wouldn't it be WoakeSG and Roland-JoneSG?
-

Kook aren't made by SS tho 😐🤔

Only if they were/are using M&H!!
-
surely they should have just thrown their entire budget at A Cook... ok, it's not Kook but the Marketing potential of Cook - aburra would be too fun to miss out on.
-

Raldred-jones/Roland-jonesf/TKJ, take your pick!
-
Cook wouldn't look right with anything but a Gray Nicolls.
-
It's never cook in a million years he has been GN all his career
Woakes I reckon(thought this was a big signing?) haha!!
Always associated kook with Ricky pointing myself no other player really...
Softs have always been good not sure about the bats, Thorpe seemed to suit them
Can't remember his bat someone on here will know in a flash...it wasn't a kahuna, or a beast.....maybe a crown? :)
-
Steve Finn?

Diablo?
-
Diablo?
Hmmmmmm....no
Green stickers very subtle I think. Gold crown?
-
He used a bubble at one point
-
Bubble was Thorpe's model for most of his career wasn't it? Look at this for a bat, looks beautiful!

Did find this though, Probe? Awful name for a bat.

-
That's the Ridgeback, he used the Gold Crown too and finished up with the pre graphite Beast
-
That's a wonderful looking bat the bubble he has there - great photo dr edge.
-
I bloody loved Thorpe!!!!!
-
Kookaburras would have been UK made at this time?

This has been asked a couple of times recently, I'd love to know the answer as the bats they put out around then were brilliant! Someone suggested Rob Pack might have been making for Kook around that time, but I have no idea whatsoever how accurate that might be.
-
Probably Eric Loxton, who made Alec Stewart's bats.
-
Id say woakes is the signing.
-
Id say going on the width of his shoulders it is Woakes as TRJ is slender in the shoulders compared to him.
-
I was wrong, it's TRJ

Couple of test matches and the money comes rolling in.
Good on him I say
-
Interesting as he won't be in our strongest test team
-
What a joke of a brand Newbery has become.
-
Steve Finn?
That's what I thought.
-
Looks happy in that picture

And about a stone lighter
-
Newbery just let him get poached like that? wow.
-
Especially how on twitter they made a deal over being back on the internationnscene seems a bit weak from them, but if kookaburra pay more can't blame trj for moving
-
This tends to happen to the smaller brands in cricket when their pro players make it to the bigger stage, but I always thought of Newbery as one of the bigger brands around. It is easy to see why TNF couldn't hang onto Agar, and D&P couldn't keep Philander when competing with the bigger brands, but I would have thought Newbery would be able to hang onto their first international pro in a while.
-
Mason Crane is also with Newbery, so a similar thing might happen with him.
-
As good as TRJ is, Anderson, Broad, Stokes and Woakes are pretty likely to be the standard pace/swing attack.
If Anderson does retire from International cricket (hope not yet!) then there is Ball, Woods, Plunkett and a few others in the queue including TRJ.
So I wonder if Kookaburra have some inside info that TRJ is definitely next man in, or whether they are making a judgement!?

Jake Ball was snapped up by GM as soon as he got an international call up...

Reckon Kook just realised with Jennings getting dropped they haven't got any sponsored players anywhere near the England test side! TRJ must have been the easiest option to buy out of their current contract, and if he bangs sixes for England like he does for Middlesex he'll probably sell a few bats. Reckon he's been the best performer out of the reserve queue on early viewing at least, and with Broad/Anderson injuries and rests getting more common he's bound to play a reasonable amount of games.
If Stoneman makes runs this series, I'd bet good money he won't be walking out at Brisbane with a Kippax in hand.

I'm sure he will, just with somebody else's stickers on it!

Very true, although if he leaves Kippax might not take it too kindly when he comes back and asks for a new batch of bats!
