Something to do with not being as heavy as size suggests?

lol special addition 1.3 Neocore. Hoping it’s Saim Ayub though!

Also, Babar inevitably stepping down as captain. Good move, he needs to pick up his form.

i noticed adil rashid with a GN in the last game, seems GN are throwing a lot of resource into the Pakistani market at the moment.

Does feel like GN are targeting the British Asian market. Anecdotal of course, but a lot of the Asian heritage kids at my club want the bats that Kohli, Babar, Pant, etc are using regardless of brand.

Not sure too many are buying a bat because England's premier leggie is using it mind 😅

He has got 5 FC centuries though. Little known fact as it's so rarely brought up by commentators.

Definitely seeing an uptick of English brands being used by British Asian in this area, where as previously it was almost always CA/SS/MB. Speaking from my own perspective I literally only got the GN bug because of Babar and the Green Maxx. 10 bats deep now.

Largely what I've seen as well, lot of "I've got Babar's bat" going on.

I do think they missed a trick last year by splitting the Pak contingent up through 2 different silos.

This has got me wondering, which player sponsorship currently sells the most equipment? By this I mean, which bat sells the most because a certain player uses it?

For England, I'd be very surprised if it isn't Stokes. Worldwide I'd expect Kohli, but whether that's all legitimate equipment or counterfeit is another thread entirely.

Reckon Butler would be quite high up in that list

Yeah agreed mate, Stokes/Butler/Root are probably the only male Eng players with any real influence at the moment - maybe add Brook or Livingstone (when he goes off on one) in there too.

Just wondering if there popularity translates into sales (must do to justify sponsorship). I know it’s not a huge sample set and not representative of the whole country but I don’t see many of these player bats around here. If you had to push me, I’d say the most popular would be the Diamond, as some of our and opposition youth team players have them.

Also, why on earth do GN sponsor Usama Mir, what possible benefit could that bring or am I missing something?
