MS Dohni now using an SS bat, Spartan must really be having problems
-
No wonder.

How is spartan able to repeatedly get away with this
-
You’d thinl players would be savvy enough to know that others are owed before agreeing to use the kit, if your relying on a payment after the use of the kit that never arrives you’ve already done the marketing by using it!
-
I may as well sponsor Bairstow as the chances of me paying him £100k are the same as he’s got of seeing any from them 🤦♂️
-
He must be putting some serious numbers on front of these guys to get them to sign.
He’s just a conman who’s getting away with it unless someone takes him to court.
How many spartan bats do you see a season in club cricket? Or county
-
Johnson did didn’t he?
-
Gayle only one who has stayed true so must be prioritising his wage then will pay others if some left

Judging by his frequent insta posts he’s paid via other methods.

Pretty sure Gayle has shares in Spartan doesn't he? Thought it was something along those lines

The rate at which Spartan is falling apart, I am sure those shares won't be worth more than a few cents in couple of months.

Bairstow with blank bat now
Contract end or not been paid??
-
Another one bites the dust....

Be interesting to see if Gayle comes out with his stuff
-
Stickers a plenty on eBay. Seems like they’re getting rid of everything
End of spartan - though I’m sure Gayle will carry on using them given his relationship with the owner

New sponsors, Blank Bat. That is what I see.

Dhoni started his inning with Spartan today then changed to SS halfway.

Haha. Yes, bat sponsorship taken to another level!
-
I thought the original Michael Clarke stickers they did, with the Aussie flag, were so good! Everything since then I've really disliked. Not the best brand...
-
When he swapped bats did he swap pads and gloves as well?
-
He was using BAS gloves. And he always uses Sachin style pads don't know what brand they are,maybe BDM

I am sure its not Morrant brand though

I believe Morrant still have the (*can't think of word*) on this design of pad. But I doubt Dhoni's will have come via South Woodford or ever had the Morrant branding on.

Looks like Morrant to me...
Look at the logo just above the shoe, he's clearly just stuck a Spartan logo on the knee roll also

Def morrant..

Yup looks like morrant logo.
-
Agreed.
The word I was looking for was 'patent'.
-
I remember Sachin drawing MRF on his Morrants in biro

Agreed.

I’d imagine ‘pending’ in Spartans case

So Dhoni will I guess be like most India players and have a separate bat, glove, pad sponsor but who do we think YJB will go with back to GN or even be the stand out Slazenger sponsored pro again now Roy is with NB??
-
So bairstow. Who plays all 3 formats for England. Hasn’t been paid so is back to blank bats.
Shine the king of India, seems same.
Yet warner, still banned, and playing club cricket, is being proudly lorded by Spartan on there insta page for getting a ton against some amateurs today.
Makes no sense.

I’d imagine registered as different companies in different countries?
-
I’m pretty sure Slazenger are all but gone. They lost Roy and Rashid, only perso. I’ve seen with them is Anderson, I’m going to go with SS or GM

YJB was using GN keeping pads today
Make of that what you will...

Maybe Billings lent them to him 😉

I could be wrong but I think he has used Blue GN keeping pads since year dot. Now cook has retired do GN have an England regular? Woakes?

hard for proper cricket brands to pay the money that new balance do also the India brands see as look at me Morgan was on 150k at SF big big money

Wow can’t seem that SF would have sold that amount of kit in the UK based on Morgan using there kit
-
I do wonder where the value is in some of these deals. I can't recall ever seeing an opponent use Spartan kit

all about selling to the kids
and ripping them off....
-
I can see the difference that a couple of high profile signings had made to New Balance's position in the market when it comes to young players, but there aren't many players who can have that impact. I can't recall any junior player playing in a senior game to use Spartan

Selling to juniors and the more casual players who will alwyas stick to what they see on tv

Have you come across any club players, junior or senior, using Spartan kit?

I've seen one Spartan bat in the wild, about 3 or 4 years ago when Michael Clarke was their poster boy. Not a single thing since. NB though you see all over the place, while you may be paying for the branding in lots of cases, with NB the branding is very well done, the players they got involved are/were all well thought out and they had a solid brand behind them. Still wouldn't buy one though, value for money is my prime consideration in most of my purchases, cricket related or otherwise. Don't mind paying more if I perceive extra value in that, but as I've said elsewhere I find it hard to see past either a GM Signature or 606 or something affordable from India or Pakistan. That said, every now and then I'll feel all patriotic and buy something from an English manufacturer.

One of my team mates has a Morgan Steel bat... was a big sale so made it good value. Nice looking stick too
-
Maybe behind the action here but did I notice in IPL that Gayle is now completely hiding the Spartan logos on his bat with the Universe Boss thing? Just wondering if his relationship with spartan is also going wrong?
-

I thought spartan was more aus based in terms of market?
Then again, I’ve got some Matt Prior batting gloves but even I got them through a friend of a friend whose a pro...
-
Theres definitely a lot of Spartan bats out there, I'd say a good 20% of all the refurbs I've done this year have been Spartan - that being said I rarely see any on the field!
-
Any good tho Adam?
-
Gayle’s still with spartan. The shoulder stickers still say spartan
Also appears to be lots of Spartans on eBay and spartan stickers. Difficult to judge which bats are real and not given

I believe all of these are genuine as they are from the guy who runs XX cricket which made bats for Spartan. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/hlg_133/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= (https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/hlg_133/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=)

Did he make them or do repairs for them?

if gayle is using his own branding with little or no spartan branding, is this a sign they probably owe him a dumpload of money too so have given him part of the business?
