Asics are the way to go mate, leagues ahead of anything else.

asics are good, however i prefer adidas. not much in it i think. personal reference. I find the adidas range fit me better. you may be best off nipping to your local store and trying a few on if possible?

I picked up some nice Kookaburra Apex Dual spikes from the county ground, on their website they're £40 and in store I got them for £50. most places are selling for that price and I like them

Puma are very good and i dont think theyre prices are as high as adidas/asics

i have the puma iridium full spike and are good for both but granted only bowl spin or medium nowadays but open the batting and suit me fine

I have Puma Iridium rubbers, I find they are a fairly tight fit around the top of my foot but very comfortable on the heel. I wish I went for the spikes version at £50.

I think Asics or Adidas are the best though.

Ive found Nike to be the best but they ain't cheap, but keep a check on ebay as they often come up for sale at a decent price.

I agree my nikes are extremely comfortable, possibly more so than my previous Adidas and asics have been

I love my adidas 22yds lites (the cobalt ones) very comfortable, but then again, I haven't tried on any of the asics.
