Kevin Montgomery from Perth, Australia asks: What is the brand of your helmet? Is it available to buy?

KS: The brand is Ayrtek. The helmets are very light and safe. Here is their website: http://www.ayrtek.com/home/

I started to use them because I liked them and not because of any commercial agreement (although the owner is now kindly sponsoring my old school, Trinity College in Kandy).

Post by: Liam-SCCC on April 25, 2010, 07:34:23 PM: His bats are grade 7?

KS: My SS bat is custom made. They are brilliant bats. The weight is about 2.7. The willow is grade seven quality, which is very hard to find, and soft-pressed. This means that bats can break. I usually go through about 15-25 bats a year depending on willow quality.

He does seem genuinely interested whenever interviewed on screen.
