Really made up with it and thanks to Tom for great service!

-
again colesy? it wasnt long ago you had it refurbed!!
-
;)
Nah got a new lid as Tom needed the other one (my old one)
-
ohhh what did he need it for :L
-
Something, I don't know :L
-
Think joes went out to the ecb if I remember rightly...lookin forward to seein what u boys are takin on for next years look already
-
I'm gonna think of something :)
-
Getting lots of comments from Bumble during this first over against Yorkshire. Gotta be pleased whent he commentators pick up on it
-
Nice to know mate...was it anytime positive or more bobsleigh talk?
-
Ian Harvey said "they've got a job lot, they must be buy one get one free"
-
Bumble did say they looked very futuristic
-
Pioneering haha nice to get a mention tho! Was it on sky today?
-
Yeah, Yorkshire v Warwickshire. All the comments were made during the first over as far as I am aware
-
cheers mate highlights r on now but typically just got bk from todays game and missed the first 15 mins lol
-
Nice to know mate...was it anytime positive or more bobsleigh talk?
just Winscombe with the bobsleigh talk ;)
-
Mr maddys ACIS seem to have "popped out" so to speak will have to sort that one out with a quick re-glue! others look ok though 1 out of 15 isnt too bad after a 7 day turnaround on 15 custom made lids!
-
wonder is cameroon had a cricket team?? can sponsor the bobsleigh and cricket side at the same time then.....kiss my lucky egg!!!!
-
Jamaica Tom. Fail ;)
-
haha thats too many thatchers gold for u as i wasnt DES drive for once!!!
-
Just seen one of the warwick lads wearing his helmet in a county champ match :)
-
Good stuff...shows they must like them enough to wear them in other formats too then!
-
Did you supply them with blue ones as well
-
No mate just the gold ones which I presume Sammy means they are wearing
-
hope it wasn't troughton, who retired hurt after a blow to the nut!
-
yeah wearing a gold 'un, nooo it wasnt him! But whoever it was didnt last long :P
-
Well he shud have had his lid on!! Can't see any pics anywhere at the moment tho
-
so Tom,
whats the difference between an Ayrtec and an Ayrtek? protection levels perhaps? ;)
-
minor difference mate lol iv seen much worse spelling and pronunciation of the name when asked about it believe me :)
-
if you notice on my post i'd changed it ;)
-
Botha was wearing his Ayrtek.
-
thanks tom havent managed to get to the bottom of the mystery but seems to have now been solved......perhaps more will follow if troughton took a blow to the head in another brand of lid??
-
Troughton was using Albion, Tino Best bounced him and I think it went between the visor/grille gap.
-
bad times.....this is why the BSI recommend setting of between 45-55mm only and as such should be adhered to in order to avoid the ball fitting between them, obviously when the ball hit the peak material may flex as well causing it to even even further!
-

Great to see the Warwickshire lads still going strong in their lids....2nd place in the table currently after another win last night :)
-
You should send him some new pads as well mate!
-
haha yeh they do look a bit worse for wear but thats GN's job not mine...unless he wants to use our softs and bats too ;)
-
Tom, have you managed to show your wears to the Aussies since they have been over here? might be a good opportunity for you ahead of the Ashes...
-
You should try Katich - his beak would suit the visor on the ayrteks!
Wouldn't any ayrteks have to be unbranded because of the Aussie/Albion deal?
-
Even if they are unbranded it's pretty easy to recognise it as one of ours due to the unique design which was another reason behind it :) haven't as yet but would be good to get a few on board!
-
Nice to see Neil Carter going to his 100 yesterday and using the helmets in the Pro40 games as well....

-
Ah right thats one from the T20 games judging by their shirts, think iv got the full size version somewhere.
-
and mine will be here soon.....
i have finally seccomed to the dark side
-
What you gone for dave
-
the same as this warwickshire one......
i was never a fan of this helmets got to be honest but so many can not be wrong and i suspect were going to see more of them on the big stage...
and the warwickshire one well bell did not want his so i am getting it...
no it what he had and i said yes
-
So your getting bells hand me downs then at least it will have a good county on it lol
-
no it from tom just spouting rubbish mate...

yo be honest just like the look of them
-
http://www.cricinfo.com/countycricket2010/content/image/469126.html?page=1
do you think he is going for touch and placement with this shot?
-
doesnt look the best position to be in with his hands does he? big fan of his "game" face though, nice bit of gurning going on!
-
saw them wearing them yesterday i think or day before on tv :)
look very nice tbh!
-
Yesterday on Sky in the semi-finals of the T20 competition unfortunately they came 2nd to Hampshire :(
-
How many players are using the helmet in the Warwickshire team? I saw quite a lot!
-
All 15 of them as they ordered an entire squads worth :)
-
Nice! :)
-
how much are helemets mate?
can i have a club badge put on one?
-
The more and more i see of these helmets the more they grow on me, I never thought id change as iv been masuri through and through but the more different styles and custom paint jobs I see the more im thinking of having one myself. Top work!
-
Thanks mate.....look forward to hearing from you when/if you do decide that you want one!
-
Tom what are the new helmets you've sprayed up on photobucket. Look real nice!
-
Was just getting around to uploading them mate ;)
-
yes mine came this morning cheers thomas top stuff going on the machine now to try it out ,,,
yes baby love new stash
tom does removable form inside near vents to be taken out i presume
once again pig in muck right now
cheers
-
they can be taken out if you like mate but are always included so that the custoemrs have the option
-
first impressions are impressive good vision area and feel light even with this grill on..
i suspect it might take a little time like anything else but i can tell i will be using this in my game tomorrow without doubt,,,,
-
Graham Onions on commentary says 'What about them Warwickshire helmets, they're aweful'
-
I heard that too........what a *%$~£@# liberty!
-
What the hell does woodworm boy know about batting
-
Now the muppet is criticising the new conference centre at the ground!
He's like an old woman!! :(
-
Not a fan of the new building IMO.
-
I am not very keen either....but if I were commentating at the ground, then I wouldn't sl@g the ground or the facilities off!
-
Wish I was watching I back in England and the ayrtek cling to get it first outing tomorrow
-
You around the Oxford area on Sunday fella? 8)
-
Well could be depends got to sort a bit of buisness out first
-
Just thought you may fancy a game - your pal Craig is playing too.
And may even show you my bat collection fella...... 8)
-
can somebody put the picture up of my ayrtek
-
Email it over mate don't thunk iv got any of it myself lol
-
tom it got a new addition and the picture is what i think of the ultimate protection....
got to be honest no blowing smoke up arses here at first i thought the helmet was going to be a gimmicky thing looks wise it looked horrible but even most of the people who looked at it thought it looked better than on tv and to be honest it is comfortable and the viewing area is better than any helmet going bar none and i have them all..
i think the helmet is worth every penny and as people who know me know i take protection seriously and use only what i consider the best in all forms of protection and i use ayrtek and remfry the best in both fields in my opinion
-
Could this go in 'This week's helmets'? Just to keep everyone's custom helmets in the same place ;)

Nope ;) :P
-
Lol makes sense if it's a WCCC one ;)
-
best protection money can buy
-
Glad u like it mate.....at least u took the time to purchase one, bit annoying when people who haven't seen or tried one before rubbish the technology as a gimmick!!
-
not many things i purchase on here i keep and use this is one i will be keeping and using for sure and the grill is very good as well much better than the 09 one
-
You talking about the ti grill dave
-
yes mate thank to the sponsor of the grill
-
Where did u get it from mate? Like gold dust currently.....oh wait I think I know :)
-
Yes it was mine I loved the lightness of it but needed a bigger one fir my big head so got an Albion one of pete
-
No worries mate glad its gone to a good home....Added benefit is that many different brands of grille can be fitted to suit the individual wearing the helmet ;)
