Get which ever ones suit you aidy not what suits a pro, chances are the pros will be loaded with extra padding so the style doesnt really matter.

In the adidas press releases, they say the elite, pro and county gear has 'test match protection' which probably means that you can wear any. Price point is interesting though - the countys are 55 quid which is around the GM Original, Kookaburra Sub 850 and GN Powerbow 5* price points

Got a set of last years Pro's going cheap.

Just looking, KP has switched back to last years pro pads and bell and rhb have gone to the county pads. This suggests that this years pro pads are not up to the job.

how much are you selling them for? im after a pair
-
Aiden, get last years pads mate!
-
Pietersen is using last years Pro pads in the 2nd Test! The new Pros must be of worse quality?!
-
bell is using the 2010 pro pads now
-
I tried both 2010 and 2009 pads on wednesday and the 2010 ones have a thicker, harder facing and much thicker padding than last years. However that means that you cant wrap it around your leg (at all tbh) and they clip each other when you walk or run and the bat also gets trapped by them. I wouldn't recommended them over 2009 because of the comfort, NOT because of the protection

I would like to see this picture aidy as i can see 3 differences on the outside of the pads between his and the public issue!
