-
It's not concave is it ;)

Golders you take creatine purely for cricket?
-
nah mate,Tubs pretty full tbh- got it to get huuuuge, but quickly realised i couldn't be arsed with the weights bit! :-[ i think creatine is only for looks anyway,which was a bit vain of me, as it just retains water and doesn't actually build muscle.
-
I thought you had sold the Puma gloves? I was only looking at your topic this morning which suggested they were sold!
I will take them for the £15. They match my gear!
I just need to shift mine to pay for them.
-
I do alot of training and work with guys who really know there stuff. People seem to know alot of rubbish about substances and should only use them if they know what they are for and how to use them correctly in conjunction with diet and excersise. Creatine should be used purely for recovery it doesn't build muscle just reduces the effect of doms after hyperplasia occurs, and also increases ADP TO ATP conversion giving you more energy whilst training to push yourself further, you get big from training not from using creatine. Creatine is found in the body naturally anyway and produced daily..

Oh and also, if you are trying to teach us 'novices' a lesson, it might be helpful to speak English, instead of just showing off??
-
How was I being arsey? I was trying to help you as I took your post seriously. And my bad didn't think the language was that bad but it's hardly showing off just how I'm used to saying it.
To simplify...
DOMS - delayed muscle soreness after excercise
Hyerplasia - the splitting of muscle fibres from training they split to rebuild larger known as hypertrophy
ATP - source of energy in the body
A lot of people out there are misguided on products, was only trying to help.

Don't worry about it, thanks for speaking in terms I can understand! And you're right, one should only use products if you understand them..

Photos of my kit, I am missing the pics of my Aytek gloves, they're with my indoor gear at my dad's.
I went for the Hosk approach with a rug but taking pictures on my phone got rid of the essence :(
Haven't uploaded any pictures of my current bat so took a couple of that too.

I thought I'd finish with what I like to call 'The Hosk Angle'
-
Nice review,great camerawork.the lid looks great in black too imho
-
Lmao the helmet is blue in this pic, just the camera. I am hoping to send it back to Tom and get it sprayed black though.
Thanks for the comment though :)
-
That lid looks class! Also how do you find the bats play and softs?
-
The bat is awesome mate, highly regarded at our club at we have 6 of them. You don't necessarily have to time it to get four, or even six as I found out. Very nice bats!
As for the softs, the pads are nice and light and they're quite protective, good vfm. And the gloves are good for £25 again light and comfortable. I think the new gloves with the new colour schemes will be even better though.
-
Which grade of bat pads gloves and lid do you have ?
-
I have Elite (grade 1) bat, Club gloves, Traditional pads and Elite helmet.
The gloves pictured are my Canterbury gloves, although my Ayrtek gloves are very similar.
-
Yeh cus I would look at getting elite bats (2) elite pads (2) elite gloves (3) elite lid with ti grill, initials and Warwickshire bears logo on front, plus a duffle bag and kit nag and trousers so what you reckon or have heard about the quality of all that gear?
-
bd i would say scratch that logo :D
on a more serious note, im guessing that colesy quite likes the ayrtek gear. so there must be something good about them.
-
If I could afford all of that I would have it lol. Not sure Tom does a duffle bag though.
I have the trousers and they're good quality, I've used them for about 10-15 games and feel good.
Can't fault the quality of the stuff, my Cants gloves have lasted 2 or 3 years and they're the predecessors of my Ayrtek gloves. (I think I used predecessors in the right context)
-
Na bud reminds me of a certain Saturday evening quite recently at lords :)
And I'm only hearing positive things :)
are the bats full made in the uk?
Also, with the elite bats and the custom sticker bats is the quality of the wood and everything the same so it's just the stickers that are different?
And he has quoted one to me anyway :) a duffle i mean
-
([url]http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z350/maxy1/515c4422.jpg[/url])
That 'Sammy the Snake' looks awesome.
-
bd,
i think the custom is made to whatever specs you give them.
whereas the elites aren't.
however, the willow is top notch for both.
-
Ahh fair play, I'll probably get one custom and one elite then maybe 2 elites. Where are they made then?
-

-Bats are made in UK
-Custom stickers, not bat. The bat is a normal Elite bat (I think)
-Ok, don't think it's an Ayrtek duffle though??
-I'm not saying where or who makes the bats
-
i didn't know ayrtek did duffles either colesy
-
well tom told me that he did a duffle bad :)
-
May have to get one to complete the set if that's the case. I'm getting a proper bag off of him when they're done.
-
any idea when that is, because i think im visitng him in half term :)
-
Hmm dunno when it will be. Half term being end of October? Could be then......
-
half term being from the 16th Oct to the 31st Oct
-
Don't think they'll be done by then, but ask Tom
-
I'll have an ask. Have PM'ed him with regards to the difference between the elite and the custom stickers but ill wait for his reply until i send him another :)
Also, have any of you seen what the lids look like in black with a logo on :) ?
Thanks
-
I've seen them in black, get whatever logo you want on there. Might go for a black lid with green pinstripes to tie in thw the rest ;)
-
And youll never hear the end of the sledging though.
As i said, black with a white warwickshire bears logo would look v v nice IMO, go with the mighty bears shirt :)

Outlaw is correct yes. I also do a lot of training with guys who are monsters. They reccomend creotine because when you take it it stops most of the ache so it allows you to train more than the average Joe would each week (this is weight lifting training on on about). Cricket training isnt as intense as weight lifting so you wont really ache as much.

Not a fan of the gloves but the pads and bat certainly look nice
-
I am getting a pair of SS Super test gloves next week to replace the solitaire gloves.
-
hmm not a fan of any of it really
How heavy are the softs?
-
The pads are average weight but the gloves are heavy enough. The gloves are the lower solitaire range
-

is everyone going to be sporting the newbery SPS kit off ebay :D
Would love to as well but don't have too much cash. Plus would love to get at least a pair of gloves whereas I already have 3-4 pairs of pads.
-
my kit for next year...
([url]http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq21/jimba101/P1040543.jpg[/url])
the newbery stickered bat is a hunts county custom classic, only thing i want to swap is the m&h (in the for sale section if anyone is interested!!!) for a newbery gt335.
Nice kit mate, think those spikes are really underated - I used to have some, really good spikes for a reasonable price.
-
Yer, there is a few of us with matching pads and gloves now! Can't turn down a bargain tho can you?! ;)
puma shoes are underated, I bought those in the sale a year or 2 ago. Paid about £25, lasted me well and look nice after a good clean!
-
No will be modelling the 2011 ayrtek kit with new spray to the helmet when Tom gets a free min lol
im working on it mate ;) been kept busy lately and could go mental very shortly lol
-
No rush thats why I said a free min as I know your busy when I send it back I take it you just need the shell and not the grill attached
-
yeah mate shell is fine so hang onto the grill, will get on with some designs soon(ish) lol
-
Take your time as can't rush genius lol a Milsom original takes time to create and muse
-
Are there any templates anywhere? As i'm bored and fancy having a play around!

In the ebay auction they show the camo pads as having whited out logos?
Guessing they come like above as they are much nicer!
Oh and does the instep squeak on your shoes?
-
And thanks Tom!
-
Right my kit sorted for next year!
Bats: Newbery Cadbury GT, Mongoose COR (Ashrafuls), M+H S6 (retro stickered, hopefully unless they sold it!), and hopefully another newbery i have my eye on! Excessive at 4 but i have got petehoskitus! and it will only be 4 bats! for now ;), NO it will only be 4! (my alter ego talking there!)
Pads: Newbery Cadbury GT
Gloves: Redback allegiance, Newbery SPS1
Helmet: Undecided!
Spikes: Nike this year
Thigh guards: Strippers (possibly watson's remfry but feel they may be too big!)
-
My mate, (the 15 year old who hit a double ton not out), has one of Ashrafuls Cor3's. Tom had 2, i got 1 for my friend and you obviously had the other.
From what tom said about your bat, it should be a belter!! My friend went for the lesser used one, but it is awesome.
-
What did he say about it??
-
he said it was an absolute gun!
It was just more used than the other.
-
Bats: Newbery Grizzly (Gonna get it refurbed as a Krakatoa)
Puma Iridium 2011
Blank Bat for my Mongoose Stickers

Helmet: Albion MKII Maroon
Spikes: Slazenger
Thigh guards: Aero P2
WK Gloves : Kookaburra Blade
-
Liam, your mate got a copy of Ashraful's original bat which Peplow bought.
Both are his, just one is spliced the other has a Mongoose handle.
-
Ahh ok. Anyway, Its a gun of a bat and he loves it!
-
ahhh looking forward to it :D may have new sticker son it too (although i am not sure if tom meant new ones to replace this years ones on it or new ones as in next year!)
-
Can we see pictures of Ashrafuls Mongoose COR? Another thing chaps that is Splice less handle allowed by ICC?
-
the one i am getting is a normal bat i think :), no goose in it really!

Thanks :D hoping thse 4 bats, if i am able to get them, will be 4 that i can settle with! as as much fun as it is and seems i dont actually like switching bats, so if they are all good then i'll be using them for ages, refurbing and restickering year on year. I hope, but then when does anyone ever do that!!
-
Here are 3 of my 4 for the season! I think, undecided whether to keep one of them!

That retro looks GREAT
i had a M&H retro a couple of seasons back and boy did i hit some big sixes with it.......

-
yeah its actually an s6 but i love the profile!
-
not to shabby nick nack! which one u unsure about? see u got the C6 sorted out too ;)
-
yeah c6 has arrived, let me know :D
the goose, purely because its a bit out there compared to others! but its such a good bat when i obunced a few balls of it i dont wanna let it go! but not sure i'd use it in match, its a very tough one.
-
waiting to hear from Mr T about the refurb on mine so once iv got it back its all urs :)
-
wicked!!
-
what weight is that M&H?
-
2lb 8 :)
-
Ooooo :)
-
Yeah its lovely :D
-
you did ok then resisted mike and my effort to try and talk u into buying it lol and ended up with it a month later ;)
-
yeah and got it cheaper :D but really couldnt resist!
-
very nice especially the goose! want a newbury to complete my collection ;) i need a new bat in my life ;)
-
Peplow you have some really nice bats there, nice and light too...are u taking them all to aus with you?

If you need a bat carer while you're away let me know!have sorted a club and work over there yet?are you going han solo?
-
sorting some stuff out as we speak. it may be nz in the end as dad has a seriosuly minted cousin over there which i may be able to stay etc with, but yet to find out, if that falls through i am off to brisbane i think!!
-
I prefer Kiwis to Aussies personally- not meaning to be racial! I wouldn't take the pink 'goose to aus, they will crusify you twice- once for being a pom and again for using that bat!
-
yeah its a good point! May be the gt then!! Or my fourth bat ;)
-
i have a nice newbery to complete your collection, drop me a pm :D

Buzz, do you have the habit of buying matching pads and gloves?
Or is that just me.
-
dont forget ur bag, clothes, training shirt, sweatbands and Ayrtek tatoo Simmy!! ;)
leave liam to ware all that stuff lol
ohh tatoo maybe on my forhead?
would like a new bag but its bit out of my price range!
ill be skint enough getting rest of stuff
-
Wazza - yes, absolutely. I like having matching kit, typically I will use matching softs with a bespoke bat - I also have some GM RSB pads and 909 gloves, but I probably wont use them. I used to use all County softs, but preferred the Kook stuff during the last few years (not unreasonably). The Kook Ice stuff is really good and extremely reasonable when you know people like Mike (Talisman)
The reason is all about being comfortable at the crease and I believe that as a batsman if you look the part you make the bowler know you can play before you have faced a ball, sometimes that fires up a bowler - but often it makes them doubt themselves. I may just be waffling nonsense, but if it helps me, so be it. Maybe it is just for me, from when I was sponsored I liked feeling like a proper player and it has stuck.
I have a teammate who is totally opposite, he refuses to have a single piece of matching kit and another mate who likes to have old dishevelled kit to make the bowlers think he is rubbish and underestimate him. It is all about what suits you.

its because the gear is top notch and lets face it.. it looks class!
i was stuck until i looked at the equipment on a whole. was tempted by vantage as well.
When Toms absolutely minted, smoking his cubans on a yacht in bora bora he will just have to remember all the lads that threw there hard earned at him before Ayrtek conquered the world of cricket! ;)

I would if I could lol. Do you have the bats too?

good lad liam, really light can hardly feel them
Yeah, i took a gamble with them as I had the RP's which were heavy and really light pumas.
Only thing I am not keen on is the black thumb, the black thumb on my RP's turned my yellow grip all greeny.

Exactly mr roco last years and this years elite gloves
-
roco
wish i could go all ayrtek not sure his pads will fit and sick of buying and selling so quickly at a loss
-
Well you are small ha
They are really comfy plus Tom is not that big and he wears them so could be ok as I have always worn normal size pads even though been told I should be wearing osm
-
pads fit me fine and im not too long!
all i can suggest is giving them ago as you have a 7 day return policy on them for a refund (less the postage cost it costs us to send them out).
-
i will get a measurement of knee placement Tom
-
Ok mate guess it depends how low u wear the pads theb
-
i wear them low i normally hbreak the cane i usually wear small mens and wear them very low
-
well as i said can measure them but your best of trying a pair to see if they fit imo as people wear them at different heights etc
-
But dont break the canes and try get a refund ;)
-
yeh lol i think they will be fine as wouldnt say they are on the large side personally but fit roco at 6ft 3 still :)
-
they fit me normally at 5 foot 8.5 and however i like smallish pads!
-
yeh wouldnt say they have a big top hat on them but do a job in the protection stakes as well after a whirl with the bowling machine
-
sam we have talked long and hard about pads i like small pads
tom you got any measurments for me
youths size from the bottom to knee locator???
mens same detail
as you know tom i hate big top hats ala kookaburra
-
havent atm mate as im at the flat....havent got any yth in stock atm but will measure the mens for u and let u know
-
Cough cough 6ft4 Tom lol and I can do you some measurements on the mens pads now if you want mate as got them to hand
-
sorry mate i know an inch means alot in this day and age.....if u cud do a job roco and whip out the tape measure ;)
-
Now now Tom this could go south very quickly
Just let me know what measurements you want and will get at it
-
im sure dave will let u know the measruements required mate.....im guessing from instep to the middle of the knee locator ???
-
yes roco as tom has instructed please mate
-
Middle of instep to middle of knee locator is 430mm approx
-
good tekkers roco...will make note for future reference!
-
sultanofswing,
Do you mind telling me how are those Salix Arma batting gloves?
Thanks!
Pretty good to me not much difference between them and the top of the range, only the price!
-
Pretty good to me not much difference between them and the top of the range, only the price!
Would you recommend them?
Also how are they in terms of comfort and softness?
Cheers
-
Yes I would quality product for the price, think I picked them up for £30 from Romida.
I have fairly long fingers and they fit fine, not 'Small' like some mens size gloves are.

prefer the Plimmer's by a mile mate. Bit more money than the Wymer's but they are just so supple and they are made by a guy who knows everything there is to about keeping gloves. Well worth an investment

-

and yes mate i'm chuffed with it.
-
Those pads look snazzy, can see what you mean about being low cut
-
What sticks you got to replace the blue room? Are they easy to change as i wouldnt mind changing the sticks on one of mine. I got it of Mike stickered as a puma but wouldnt mind changing if it was straight forward enough.
-
Yeah mate both sets sit low. I don't have the sticks yet, they are being designed
-
Are they easy enough to change?
-
Pidge are they the new Sig ones?
-
Yeah mate both sets sit low. I don't have the sticks yet, they are being designed. And yeah discussed with Rob When we were there about having his sig on the custom Sticks
-
Prowannabee and Simmy are you guys related to each other? I mean you guys have identical stuff...
-
Bestest buddies i believe!
-

Couldn't even get a blue room without him buying one!! Trololol

-
Had a great season last year with the bat and not too bad one with the gloves! batting came into its own and mainly down to the greatest stick i have ever used M&H distinction (not so much a gun more like a cannon!!!) so here is what I have used last year and what i will be adding for next season:
Bats: M&H distinction
adding: Salix pod one
Pads: M&H distinction (quality not so good split already)
adding: Kook Kahuna 1000 or G&M RSB's
Gloves: M&H distinction (very comfy but worn out)
adding Kook Kahuna 1000
Thighpad: Aero P1 (will never change)
Lid:Masuri and Albion NXT
adding: Ayrtek ( Kumar replica sri Lankan logo) ;)
Keeping gloves and pads:Puma Iridium 5000
adding: undecided
Boots: Asics strike rates (brilliant)
adding: Asics gel advanced (Green)
Bag: Really need a bag big enough for all my kit might get the Newberry SPS or Kook 1000 (open to suggestions)
-
The Distinction has gone down to £260...bargain in my eyes given the performance of that beast
Although Owzat do the Retro which I love as well...
-
i love M&H's great bats, cant wait to see the AMPLUS.......
-
Am thinking of getting another distinction stickered up with the retro stickers. I live in Somerset so M&H factory is not too far to get one done! The Amplus looks lovely but i preffer the low middle of the distinction!!!;)
-
Ive only just seen the Amplus, and yeah i feel the middle will be too high for me, id definitely like to try the distinction at some point
http://www.millichampandhall.co.uk/acatalog/2007_Bats.html
-
Dependant on a Christmas bonus a guy might get a Distinction at our club. So hopefully eveything will go to plan and I can have a look xD

-
I couldn't bring myself to fork out £260 on a bat when I could got to Andy at SAF for cheaper, and the other batmakers on here....
-
Are my eyes decieving me..... £350!!! Amplus is stoopid money!! You'd get a pro newb from Talisman for less.
-
I got my distinction for far less than £260......but would happily pay that!!! 763 runs and netting every week and it is still like new!!!
-
Got 1000 with mine incl. nets and still got seasons left in it. And it was £135 ;)
If money was no option I'd get one.....
-
Damo what weights that mate as it looks massive
-
I would like a distinction....!

If you happen to buy G&M RSB then PM Buzz as he still have them (I believe);
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=6262.15
They are at great price so you can snap a bargain.
-

only 2lb10 mate and picks up like a dream!!!! Master craftmanship!!!
-
chest guard seedy?????
You woman!!! Would never have let you wear one when we played U18's!! Might need it though when planty is pepperin you next season! lol

The banter has started already.

Added a GN Predator middling bat today, and a size 0 GN Quantum- but that's for my brother ;)
didn't know they did size 0s, I bet it's a gun, though!! :)
how old is he? I guess about 6?
Btw tugga who do you play for, as you seem to be sponsored?
-
Johan mate he's a tall 4 1/2 year old lol.
Big sixes from him though ;)
-
Wasn't far off..the coles family seem pretty tall from what I've seen on YouTube and your description of your bro.,.! Loved tge cover drive clip btw: what a shot! I'm willing to put money on the fact he'll hit a 6 before I do lol!
-
Lol I'll make tiny boundaries and film it for you ;)
-
Leather ball too mind! I reckon I'll go for it this year when I'm in. I just give my wicket away as I'm a yoyo player and bat middle order when I have an opening batsman's temperament and technique...I like to take my time.. :) But I play lots of home games at grounds with small boundaries either sqaure or straight, so my new saf should assist me :D
-
Tell us more of the bat...
-
.
-
Nice Champ bat! I am having all GN Legend for 2011...
-
champ sports bats are absolute guns! they are so good, i got one second hand off craig (hit4six) and it is awesome. i hit over 700 runs in all cricket this year with it. And my mate borrowed it and hit 203* and a couple of rapid 50's!
-
is it a laminate?
-
.
-
Thats a lovely addition, they do seem to churn out good bats, or sticker them at least I dunno. Hope it does you well!
-
is it a laminate?
definitely looks like one
-
It's an odd grain structure. But its also pretty wavy when you look closely.

Yeah I can see why people might be fooled but there is no obvious straight join line.

Been thinking about getting a set of pads and gloves from James for a while
-
Nice kit Yash!
I would have loved to hear from you regarding the Salix gloves as I was really interested in buying them. If the shipment was not in February i would have bought from Talentcricket.
Once again great kit!

Malik Sher 2.9
Refurbed Slaz V800 2.9
Charlie French Odyssey 2.10
Monster Betty 2.12

-
All nice bats, but that Slaz is ruined with the fake stickers :(

Yeah I know - I wasn't sure of them myself, but it's difficult to find stickers for bats that are not a brand that makes their own. However, it's a nice bat, and they come off easily when I'm bored (which will probably be next week!)
-
Bruce
I love the look of the pink gripped one is it any good???
-
Loving the profile on the Malik! :) They all look really nice, sure you have lots of fun with them!
-
i like the nike one the most..... very nice
-
You know you love that profile dont'cha!
Care to caress it at a net in London in January? - I'm thinking of organising one - and your bound to have bought yourself something for Christmas!

Ha ha Colesey! You were right. I'm bored of the ST stickers, and they are coming off today. I shall replace them with some stickers that I have made myself - however, not sure on the rules on showing a pic. what's the score on showing pics of a bat with stickers on by a company that are not involved in cricket - ie Anusol or Canesten? (little tip for your shop there Johan!)
-
They are allowed me thinks :)

I think they're fine too..Its only at Pro level you have to worry, though I know you must keep that in mind as you are banging on the proverbial door ;)

Ha ha yeah, he had some lovely kit last year- My mate bought a Kahuna Ricky Ponting for £150 off him! :O
He is the only person I know who could get away with scoring a hundred, then just walking off to let other people have a bat... :) Legend!
-
Yep he's a top player and a very nice guy from what I have been told. Do you play 1's at Wardens? Few lads I know play for them and I have been asked to go net there come Jan...

-
You must be good then!
Nah, I'm not quite that good- I was injured a fair bit last season (my first at Wardens), and mainly played 3rds, 4ths, and 2/3 seconds matches, as well as Sunday 1sts.. This year I should break into the seconds properly though, with any luck!
The club itself is really friendly, so it won't be difficult to settle in etc. The bar is almost always open, so just pop in and say hello!
They have a great captain, Scott Stenning- never forgot the game where he middled one over the top, straight through an expensive BMW (IIRC) rear windscreen... Needless to say, we didn't get our ball back :(
All great lads- Good Luck!
-
I've not decided if I'll go to the nets yet or not, might just go along for the fun of it tho!
I know your 4ths skipper well, he's a good cricketer and should be playing 3s at least
-
bloody hell mark! you'll have had more clubs than tiger woods if you move again!
-

haha that would be my 6th!! Can't help being in demand!! lol
-
Ali Mac- He is a legend, should be playing at least 2nds if you ask me, good lad and a good cricketer.
-
Ali Mac- He is a legend, should be playing at least 2nds if you ask me, good lad and a good cricketer.
He is considering joining our 2s. He played a Sunday game for us this season. He got a peach of a ball 2nd delivery - debut duck! We was 101 all out and I got 45 of them.... uw errrr
-
NOOO!!! Not Ali Mac ! Good luck to him though! :( Debut Duck- never had one of them!
45/100 is still rather good for one player amongst a team of 11! Sounds like you did well and everybody else played terribly!
Who do you play for then?
-
Our overseas managed a debut golden duck this year - with most of the club watching.
He got much, much better though!

Like I said, he's only considering it but one of his best mates is at us. I play for Norton Lindsey mate

Who's that mate and for what club???
-
Fair enough! My mate plays for them or used to, don't know what team though. Charlie Warner I think his name was, his dad happens to be the captain of the QM2. Lucky bugger. :)

Yep I know Charlie, decent bowler. Know his brother Tom better tho. Very Sharp bowler
-
Who's that mate and for what club???
Guy called Bryce Grant, played for Chertsey CC in the Surrey Championship. Fab keeper/batsman at our level.
I'm sure he's in and around his provincial squad back in NZ.
-
Tom- He did work experience I think or something similar at our school. It was a relatively scary experience facing him, because I am small and he gets a lot of bounce. A very sharp bowler. Didn't he get selected for Warwickshire last year?
-
I had a debut duck for my current club - anyway, what's all this got to do with 2011 kit?
-
Just got some more gear delivered.
Sidearm Pro
Kookaburra Batting Inners

Frankie you might have to do the e-mailing round job, I think. Plenty of companies who will offer county players sponsorship...

ayrtek 2lb12
talisman sachin lam 2lb 13

They all look very nice, mate. Is that Rob's Signature on the back of your swell. I think the Blue and Yellow Stickers look very classy, too. 8)
-
Yeah got him to autograph it as why not
-
mate u should have asked and i would have signed ours too ;)
-
You can sighn my helmet oh wait :(
-
haha wouldnt want to de-value it :D
-
u got rob to sign the bat same as me and liam did :)
-
Nice touch, I think. Lol, I'm sure Tom's signing wouldn't de-value it THAT much... ;)
-
I scribble on yours then Johan ;) its all but finished so will aim to get it sent out tomorrow time permitting as iv got 3 meetings booked in to keep me busy
-
Noooo! Haha, good to hear it is done, will try and plug it to my club members!! I think the signature would have looked better in Marker. Tom, I would, but I want to preserve the paint. ;) I would get stick for a signed helmet, let alone an Ayrtek. I'll just tell them some very nice 4 letter words if they say anything lol, so long as it's league!! :)
And, whenever you can get it sent off with the additional steel grille, that will be wonderful mate, top class sevice!
-
haha its ok im only joking mate not my style to scribble on anything as a complete unknown in the industry
-
Lol I got that too late...maybe in a couple of years, you can sign one of your very expensive self-made bats ;)

-

I might be able to get a few later on mate :)
-
That would be handy, pics and a review would be nice of the Woodworm, because not many of us have the newer versions made since they went bust...
Cheers :)

Nice bat although I have to say their 'scuff sheets' are just plain awful
-
Its not the best but i only payed £130 new and it works for me + its only 2.7 ;L
-
Why is all the writing back to front? or have i missed something?

Having seen Taylormatee Woodworm i thought i show you my Gamma iBat.Bought for £100 notes from the sports HQ warehouse which is around 20 Min's away from me,i never been there before.They had a fair selection and for a ton i thought what the hell and bought one!! I owned a WW Wand that i scored 156* and the nostalgia kicked in and thought why not?.Its 2'10 and has some decent grains,shame about the scuff sheet but you cant win them all and i removed the front sticker and put it on the back as i think it looks slightly better ;)
I know WW have had a bad rap for a long time but i only had decent bats from them and i hope this one proves the same.I will see how it plays in the nets and let people know how it goes.
Here are some pics i took

Looks pretty nice with some nice grains...I've not really known what is so bad with that scuff sheet...? Seems a good bargain for £100 though, hope it plays well for you matey :)
-
Yes its not too bad,i can put one of your on there instead if i wish!! Its not bad for the price,lets see how it plays.Cheers Johan.
-
Haha! What were people saying about them anyway. I haven't heard what is so bad, just that they are bad for some reason... :S
-
I'm having a net later and will let you know how mine gets on ;D
-
Got a new bat I am using for the 2nd time tonight. Will have to add the bat and the review to the my baby collection one now :D Though tonight I will consider how good it is performance wise. On Sunday when I used it, I tried to butcher everything that came my way, did a good job of it too! :)
-
Johan get pics up tonight,would like to see your new bat,i sure its a quality bit of wood.Have fun at nets the both of you!! Taylormatee i look forward to hearing how your ww has performed for you ;)
-
Taylormatee i look forward to hearing how your ww has performed for you ;)

Possibility of a guessing game if you give us a starter, though maybe in a while Tom if you can't disclose anything now... :)
-
When can you?? How many pros have you now?
-
well some have them to take with them on pre season tour after saying they like them but dont want to go saying they will wear it until they have done so....otherwise will look a bit daft lol
not sure how many exactly but would like to think its close to 20 now wearing the helmets....gradually increasing by the day :)
-
Ohh nice! Good work Tom. Less Spaceman/Stormtrooper insults for me! Not that I care, of course :D

-
1 x GT model
1 x UZI model
-
Oh right. Cheers for clearing that one up mate. Quite good for you as I guess you're near everything, seeing as you said you were trying out for Sussex U15s?

Gm Original Le pads and gloves
Gm duplex bag
Strippers p1 v6
Navy Masuri ti
Asics Gel Advance 3- limited edition green
Still waiting on..... An icon original Le, skier lite, sidearm pro
-
What are those Asics like pumakid? I'm thinking about getting some, but would like to try them on first really. Do they fit like Asics trainers? Are they quite wide fitting?
-
They're comfier tan the original ones i had. I do find them to be quite wide which is good for my big size 12s. There is a lot more support and padding around the ankle than on the original ones aswell
-
What about the heel on them? Do they feel as though they could rub with use? As on another thread people have said that there has been a bit of trouble with previous model?
-
I didn't think there would be a problem, because at the end of the day, i wouldn't have forked out 80 quid for them if i thought there would be.
-
Impressive kit Pumakid.
With Icon LE I can only see this getting better and better, impressive stuff mate!
-
Pumakid i think you should change your name to GM kid..... nice looking gear mate
im also considering getting those spikes i theink they look the dogs danglies
-
Nice kit Pumakid
-
GORGEOUS KIT!!!
-
The Apex looks really nice! I fancy trying a Luna just cant justify the £300 :(
-
The Apex looks really nice! I fancy trying a Luna just cant justify the £300 :(
I'm the same mate, would love a Luna or a Flare but really don't want the price tag that comes with it. Don't think anyone on here can get GM bats on the cheap either...I may be wrong though
-

Just curious (not critical) why do you nominate a Luna or Flare when they're very different profiles?
-
Slight change to my kit now includes hawk thigh set and a very special tt

off the Hosk?

Tbarnfield99,great kit as well and that Redback looks so nice and impressed by the gloves and pads my friend.There are some amazing kit on here!
-
As I said in another thread, that bat is tasty. Mine is going like a train already, and given yours is LE I would expect it to be flying once fully knocked in! Hope you score some big runs with it! Incidentally, I think the Redback Gloves look quite similar to my Vantage Volt Samples.. :)

-
I want those keeping pads. Lucky git
-
Who are Vulcan mate? And how many grips on them bats?
-
They're a company from Essex i believe, found out about them online...
Bats are made by 'Gary?' at Choice Willow. Well the Orange and Blue ones were anyway. I have one and a half grips on my bat, just a normal chevron on the bottom hand underneath and then an Octopus one over the top.
Haven't used them a great deal as my RPA (Pink one) is serving me well but the ball comes off sweetly when they have been used.
-
they used to have a picture of h man on there bats and some bird came on here called mel and got banned there a topic somewhere
-
apologies for the poor picture quality

How'd you rate the new iridium?
-
Which keeping gloves you going to use?
-
its not fully knocked in yet, only used it for a few throw downs but it seems to go well ! really like the profile and pick up but i suppose thats down to personal preference !
i just neeed to get some stickers to go on the plain bat and my gear is done !!
-
il be using the silver more than likely. i would probs let the custom gloves go if your hands are a similar size to mine
-
I have custom made gloves myself. They do come smaller than standard gloves I ave found...
-
yeah same and mine are really stiff !! im not a massive fan if im honest
-
Not good is it pal...
-
its not an ideal situation

CD, where are you buying from your GN LE and GM?
-
GN LE from Asad Bhai (he has specially ordered it for me at GN factory) and GM LE from Mapperly Sports
-
why do you need so much gear. 1 bat 1pads 2gloves for me?
-
Uzair, I was gonna say that I thought that to be a bit too much gear, easpecially in the bat department. Are you unfussy like me, or do you have a real main match bat that you will always use in matches, and just try out the rest in nets. I hear Mapperly Sports get some great GMs so that's fair enough! I am cutting down to 3 Bats, 2 Sets of Pads (have another to sell) 2 Sets of Gloves and one of everything else :)
-
if you can do it, why not, we'd all love to be pete, may not be necessary but then we dont do just necessary on here! otherwise the for sale section wouldnt be so busy!
-
Actually, that's a good point. I've never questioned Pete for some reason. Just as we were discussing that you probably wouldn't get any more bats after the GN, but as Sam says, it is your money! :) - Sorry if that seemed a bit interrogating :|
-
Johan nah noo worries pal no need to apologize.
Actually the thing is that it has become a hobby and it is very very addictive I would say. Whenever I get cash on hand I just spend it on cricket or clothes thats it.
Right now I'm not too sure about my match bats, waiting to get MH, GN and GM before I can decide.
They sent me a picture of GM LE which I am getting if anyones interestd I can put it up

CA is a lb and used and signed by Jacob Oram in 2009 T-20 world cup
-
What weight is Orams bat mate?
-
That LB looks alot longer than the others...plus someone drawn on it!!
-
Oram has drawn his signature on it :) I didn't weight CA as I don't have scale to measure. I think it is 2.10-2.11 and has 40mm thick edges. I still need to use this in nets to see if it feels awkward to use LB bat.

good question mate...depends how mike got on the other day so will have to wait and see :) once its sorted tho feel free to knock them in and pass it on!
-
Ah so you finally decided on the ayrtek bag then will plus a load of hawk stuff when is your visit
Going down to pick everything up on Saturday morning with a couple of lads. Will probably have a look at some bats as well, although will try not to buy one. I don't need 3 really, both the H4L's will do, one higher middle and one lower. Job's a goodun.
Will pop you a message about the deal Matt
-
I'll bring the tt and talisman down for your approval then
What was mike up to then ?
-
well 2.12 is my max anything heavier and i struggle....need to work on the guns!
-
Hit the gym as they are 2lb13 and 2lb14.5 but the tt has a really light pick up plus you are coming along so you can help me pick our next one :):):):)
-
This is my kit for 2011.
I highly recomend the Puma Iridium pads and gloves. My pads are O/S mens yet so light still!

-

:o craig thats just a few :p
if i had that many bats i would never make it to the game !

My bats and kit
I recently broke my Diablo DM in the nets (completely smashed it) the only thing its useful for now is maybe tennis ball cricket in the backyard :( however, Jules oak had one lying around and i bought one off him! How lucky is that!? I will play with it every now and again but i have decided to retire it after getting hold of some genesis and beast graphites recently to have the 4 graphite bats :)
anyway here is my kit :) you have never seen so many carbon fiber bats in one place :D Funny thing is i am a bowling all rounder, coming in at no 6 usually to have a slog as i usually get 5 overs to bat on a bad day. I have 11 bats and can now safely say that the no. of bats i own is higher than my batting average for last season. I keep wicket as well and also open the bowling! lol ...jack of all trades
Enjoy :)

what do you make of the puma tricks?
mine came today, they're very loud but they're very comfortable as well.
-
Fantastic kit Slab, although looks like you need a new grip...
-
The Kahuna Gloves have black leather on the thumb so grips will become discoloured by the end of a net session
-
what do you make of the puma tricks?

They are really comfortable and also love the the colours! Just need to be worn in a little bit, they feel a little stiff.
-
The bat looks friggin nice liam. Brand new... no cracks etc...
-
Yeah, its looks good. There is some toe damage, in the bottom picture you may be able to make out a crack. If you go from left to right it goes from grain 4 to grain 6. Bit more damage in the toe but it isn't too bad.
Brand new grip on there and it looks great with the stickers
-
Where did you get the stickers from?
-
got them from last one choppy, nearly sold them to get the canterbury ones from mike. But happy i kept them
-
I'm after some new stickers, decisions decisions...

How come you need to sticker the Paradox up, I thought it comes with Stickers. Or did you get a replacement...was it your Paradox that broke? ???
-
No he wants to buy one instead of aha
-
No its brand new used it once but i like my kit to match so may put my puma stickers on it

How do you find the pads mate ?
-
How do you find the pads mate ?
Very comfy and light, the only thing I'm not keen on if the shin section is PU not material so if your netting in shorts you sweat like a pig. But love the style and protecting, always loved slaz pads though.
-
do they sit nice and low ?
-
Haven't really noticed tbh. Suppose it depends how tight u have the bottom strap.

Received all my wood stock stuff, I'll do a review in a while ...

Which keeping gloves are they rp? Rate them?
-
SS Dhoni Camo LEs I believe...I have them and they are better than my last gloves and fit well...ought to try them out in nets sometime 8)
-
Theyre last years SS LE camo's, i love them, they were so supple when i first got them, barely needed to break them in
-
Yeah I noticed that too, so so soft :D
-
Tough decisions... do I stay with my customs or move to SS :(
-
I've never had customs, but i think i'd get them over the SS ones, i really like them and theyre probably up there as the best non-custom ones, but i think you'd get a better fit and more comfort from a custom pair
-
Yeah exactly, agree with rp there, stick with your customs mate, I know the catching area is smaller, but they fit so well do customs, I doubt the fit on the SS is as good... :(
-
I've just brought some non padded inners so will see if that makes a difference as padded inners sort of made it to padded if you get me?
-
I know what you mean, i've just bought some puma half chamois ones to see if they improve my ss ones as theyre a bit loose
-
The fit is to loose?
-
well it depends on what inners i wear, but i like my gloves snug, so i'm trying some thicker inners
-
Here is a few pictures of my bat next to my mates Luna 808. Try and guess the weight of the Luna.
(http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/2913/p1000299.jpg) (http://img856.imageshack.us/i/p1000299.jpg/)

And a picture of the extra anti scuff under the main sheet on my bat.
(http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7219/p1000303.jpg) (http://img543.imageshack.us/i/p1000303.jpg/)
-
2lb 6.5
-
Luna looks big im going with 2.9 - 2.10
-
estimate it with just the standard grip on there as it has that under the shock absorber. Will reveal the weight a little later.
-
Not a bad job of the extra scuff I have put one on my bas today
-
2lb 8oz :P
-
2.12. Just to be wrong.
-
I reckon about 2'10ish.
-
2.12
-
2.7
-
2.9
-
Off to nets, will reveal the nets around half 9 when i get back
-
The bat is in fact 2lbs 7oz with the one grip applied. It is good for the weight, 30mm edges and 50mm spine, same as my 2lbs 9oz.
He has hit some massive shots in the nets!
-
i was an oz out :D lucky me :)
does look a seriously nice bat though only seen a 606 fully stickered up so far but it was nice
May invest in one some day :)
-
I win :)
-

Lots of Oz out in the Ashes :P Looks nice! Surprised it's only 2"7
-
That's 2lbs 7oz with stickers grip and anti scuff.
-
ahh i thought it was without anti scuff which is why i went for 2lb 6.5 ;) seriously! :D

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum....been a 'guest' for a long time now, thought I should actually sign up finally!
I live in Australia, have always been a big GN fan....but a couple of seasons ago I thought I would move onto something different, so checked out batmakers in both the UK and Australia, before deciding to go with Julian from Screaming Cat (wished I knew of this forum back then....there are SO many other companies who I didn't know about!)
Basically my kit for the last 2 years in Australia has been
2 x Screaming Cat Professional Customs (traditional shape, no concaving, 2'9/10, light pickup)
Screaming Cat Pads, Gloves and Kit Bag
The cats go like trains, although I have had issues with both of them getting splits through the toe area (not from the toe through the face, they sort of crack along the toes then up the edges, if that makes sense!)
I'm moving over to the Motherland this season for a bit of a working holiday, will be playing for a club in Kent, so I thought I would give a UK manufacturer a crack....was between Warsop, SAF and Redback, decided on the latter. So for my season in the UK so far my kit will be:
2 x Redback Surefire LE's (2'9/10, light pickup, lowish middle, no concaving. Don't care about grains as long as it goes like a train!)
Redback Traditional Pads
Redback Modern Gloves
Will pick up thigh pad, bag etc from somewhere when I get over there! Can't wait for Gary to send me pics of the bats when he has them done!
Sorry to 'flood' this topic with my first post guys!
-
where abouts in kent you playing to buddy
-
In the Kent Regional Cricket League....Championship East for Yalding......Do you play in Kent?? I'm not 100% sure of the standard....in the UK you guys have so many leagues and stuff it does my head in!! Guess I will find out soon enough :-)
-
Devastating moment at nets tonight, yet not uncommon. Never let someone else use your bat!!!
-
What happened?
-
Piece of the bat is now missing. Lots of glue and tape now been applied. I'm not losing another bat at the start of a season!!
-
Your going to need a new1 ain't ya...
-
Never, lost one last two seasons running. I can't afford a new one lol
-
Won't it affect performamce?
-
It's not the middle so I should be fine ;)
-
Lol
-
All is not lost! At our net sesh tomorrow I shall be using a bat I got my first 100 with, happy days!
-
Decided to change my kit in pre-season. Changed from Lekka to Mongoose.
(http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g426/crobbo83/gear-1.jpg)
Bat: Mongoose Mmi3 Series
Pads: Mongoose Series Pads (o/s Mens)
Gloves Mongoose Series
WK Gloves: Graham Plimmer Custom Made - 2 pairs
WK Pads: Plain unbranded pads
Helmet: Ayrtek ACIS Elite (with club logo)
Other: Gray Nicolls Face Mask
-
Yer I seriously hope you have a full length bat...
-
I'm not so sure. The new MMIs are much better than the old ones and they pick up better and feel nicer. If you have good hands then I don't think there is much need for the top 1/3 of the bat
-
crobbo- where are the keeping pads from??

Hi Jenko,
I'll be seeing you this year in that league. What do you do?? and what terms have Yalding brought you over on???
-
Here's the best of what's in my holdall for the new season. The Icon has just had a refurb and looks like new. This is my first choice, weighs in at 2'7. The blank blade I'm pretty sure is an SS Platinum LE I bought from Lukeys Sports. Great lightweight bat with loads of wood behind the middle and thick edges. The Bradbury is a tad heavy for my liking at 2'12. Goes like a bullet off it though!
(http://i52.tinypic.com/2qw3qrn.jpg)
-
Ooooh - you've got the pads I really wanted! Couldn't find them anywhere at a decent price though.
-
It's a shame they discontinued them! Great lightweight and flexible pad, I got them in the sale at end of 2009 for about £40. Think the d30 range replaced them but don't know too much what the difference is apart from orange not yellow trim!
-
The d30 pads obviously have the D30 materials in them as well
-
what are the gloves like?
-
The gloves offer great comfort and i still think they are the best looking glove on the market. I also went for them to match the bat and pads! I think they're a bit over priced though for a basic sausage glove with pittards when you can get the SS ones for less than half the price! I think the Salix Pod ltd edit red or black gloves are what I'll be going for next.
-
I tried those gloves on today in owzat and first off they didnt feel that comfortable as they were very stiff, but I guess theyll get better the more you use them. I also think they're very nice looking gloves, non-bulky and once they're worn in in reckon they'll be very comfortable

Yes hopefully! I bought Puma Kieswetter pads because they are red and I wanted coloured pads for morning matches and I hate spray painting my pads so they are for that occasion.
So yes puma softs will go with puma bats, will hopefully buy Iridium gloves to have a complete Iridium set although pads are of last years!
If you were in Canada then definately mate
Top kit finisher
-
Were they the pads on ebay? Thought they were more brown?
-
I'm not in Canada unfortunately! Do have family over there though.
-
Yes, they were on Ebay, actually they are red ones not brown one.
These are the pads I bought;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170612783170
my housemate don't know what I have etc so have to hide the bats from them...
-
Sorry, maroon is what I meant. Will be the colour of the somerset helmets
-
Ahh okay, I was a bit suspicious because a friend of mine got grey Kieswetter pads so I wasn't too sure if red is proper colour or the seller is faking.
These are 2010 model right ?
-
Also just scrap the Calibre softs from my list, am not getting those just add 2011 Iridium gloves...
-
Those are 2009 model Iridiums, although I seem to recall Somerset players wearing black pads in one day games back then.
-
Somerset haven't used maroon pads for a while, went straight from red to black. So these where maybe incorrectly made.
-
Ah okay, I asked the seller and he said these were made by Puma and are professionally made by Puma so they are not spray painted..
-
Anyone knows the reason why in 2009 Iridium FXT 6000 had 3 straps and in 2010 they turned to 2 straps and now back to 3 straps...
-

2011 6000 fxt iridiums have 2 straps. The ones you have bought are the 2009 3 strap model.

Surely these wonderbats which are better than anything else available are worth some patience?
-
my patience is thin they are great bats but who said they made the best ever.....
They make bats that i agree witth yes and my best one was a laver but i'am sick of waiting
-

HAHHA LOOL Nice one guys, I have finished for this season ending with Flare Original LE!
No more bats for this season at least!!

-
A few issue to be honest.
I know i impatient but i do not like to be told something then they do not do it no matter who it is.

Nice Gear nick. Is that a bulldog, or just stickers...
I might do a photo of everything If I cba to get the gear out over the weekend! :)
Quite a lot, hope it can get into one shot :)
-
Nice looking kit! Kinetic 4000 pads?
Would you be able to do the following measurements for me?
1) from the instep to the top of the pad
2) from the bottom of the pads to the top of the pads
3) from the top of the knee roll to the top of the pad, ie. the top hat
I am still on the hunt for pads that fit me well and have found these pads cheap.
If you could then that would be great, whenever you have time. Thanks

-
([url]http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae18/essexarsenal/Braintree-20110330-00165.jpg[/url])
Beautiful grains on the Icon! Got any more pics of it buddy?
-
Yeah, It's a Gray Nicolls Nitro Bag - new for 2011.
I think it's pretty much the same as their old Xiphos bag. It can stand up as well as lie flat. Two main external pockets (which i used to clothing and boots + extras. You get into the main part of the bag from the top and it's mainly all one big compartment where it easily fits in my pads, protection, gloves helmet etc with plenty of space. Also inside the bag there are two hidden bat compartments however they aren't protected well.
It's decently priced to be fair and if I had the extra money I would've gone for the Ayrtek bag. How are you getting on with it so far?
-
Don't know mate - rang Tom up today to pay up! Will let you know and probably put up a review as people rave about them, but nobody has written something, so I probably will
-
ah fair enough.
I may do the same with this bag, as it's a new bag on the market etc.
-
Buzz, If I bought my old dear a mulberry bag she would probably call me daft, crack me up the head with it and ask for the reciept to return for the cash instead. She's a sweet caring woman :)

Loving all of that Hawk gear. Looks nice, plain and classy.

-
Knew you would come round mate haha
-
Top gear lad.
-
nice gear mate looks sorta elegant!
-
Managed to get all bats together, couldn't get rest together (Will that in future for sure) but here are the bats so far;
(http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/ac91/minhasuz/DSC05685.jpg)
-
What a selection!
How do you decide which bat to use? Rotate each game?
-
I am playing in two teams just because I have lots of bats and I should make good use of them so one is T25 and other is regular 50 overs. T25 is morning one so there will be dew on ground so for that I will be using Iridium 3000, Luna 808 and MB LE [for slogging]
Rest am thinking or rotating each game and see which one scores me most runs, one which will score me most wins LOL
-
Got to admit, the GM stickers really have grown on me. Hated them when they first came out, but they've very classy and you can see from that picture that they really stand out in a crowd of bats.
-
To be honest, Matt when I first saw them I wanted to burn them as I said they are worst stickers but I am not saying this because I have them but when you see the stickers in reality they look much nicer.
The new stickers look very good on Flare and Luna, Icon I would still prefer old ones...
-
also like the new puma look. still as bold, but somewhat more casual and natural than before :)
-
Very Nice Collection there CD!
I'm very superstitious, so if I got 1 decent socre with any of those, the rest would not be used at all, ahah. I think that it's a good thing because that will probably stop me from going completely bat crazy!
-
CD are you planning on using all of these bats? Or are you more of a collector? What if you find you prefer one of them over and above the others? Would kill me to have 13 quality bats laying not being put to good use!
-
Here's my 2011 kit!
Bats-
2011 Gunn and Moore Flare DXM original L.E- weight's around 2lb 11oz has around 9 grains and is one hell of a bat, most certainly my match bat for the season! it will certainly be going back to nottingham to have a refurb before the season!
2011 Gunn and Moore Apex DXM original L.E- weight's around 2lb 10oz has around 15 ruler straight grains, lovely bat, using as my second bat
2010 Mongoose MMi3 custom- weights around 2lb 10oz has about 7 grains, bought this off a member of the forum a couple of weeks ago and i cant tell you how pleased i am with this bat, if anyone is juggling whether to get one of these bats dont juggle anymore and go out and get one! there pure quality! most likely the bat that gets bought out when i am near 80 or past 100, but a great piece of equipment to have in a kit bag!
2011 Plain Bat- bought this from a supplier for CA and Spyder cricket, it weights about 2lb 10oz just! and its HUGE! the rebound on the bat is phenomenal aswell! cant fault it yet! i would say the only fault is that the willow is sooooo dry but you get that with most over sea's bats! great buy and will use it when the main bat goes!
Soft Gear and Helmet-
2 pairs of Gunn and Moore Original L.E gloves
1 pair of Gunn and Moore Original D3o gloves
1 pair of Gunn and Moore Original D3o Pads
1 pair of Gunn and Moore Orignal L.E pads (on the way)
Aero P1 Strppers
Masuri Blue TI
Spikes-
Nike Openers 2010
Asics Aussie Edition 2010
Adidas Pro Spike
Bag-
Gunn and Moore Duplex Wheelie

-
liking those spikes. Nice kit.

has the place got a site, or have you got any contact details? got a pair of asics which are in mint condition that i dont use much. might get them half spiked.
-
i dont have any sorry mate. back down in cornwall now so cant! i might be able to get it for you next week, back up there again!
-
If you got them spiked yourself, how are they pro?
-
thats okay i'll have a dig on the net. was gonna get some calibre tricks spikes but they look really good! can you take the studs out?

Hehe cheers mate.
I will be trying my best to use all but then superstitious act comes into play when I bat with a different and layoff the highest score one (hope that made sense).
CD are you planning on using all of these bats? Or are you more of a collector? What if you find you prefer one of them over and above the others? Would kill me to have 13 quality bats laying not being put to good use!
Hopefully I will be using all, as I have earlier said I joined two teams so I can make full use of the bats.
As far collection goes there is a bit of that involved as well.
Frontiers would be Salix, Newbery, GM's, Oblivion LE and M&H
-
Have to get more pics up now I have the Ayrtek lid
-
Pretty much all my gear for 2011. Maybe a new bat to add to this. A couple of those in the picture might be leaving.

How you finding those keeping gloves? Tempted by a pair as I want a couple of pairs in ny kit bag
Good. When I first got them they seemed quite stiff. But after a couple of sessions and literally hitting them with my mallet they are very supple. I like the look of them, and they are also quite plain. I will see how they look halfway through the season though with them being white. If I wear them with padded inners then they are too tight to use, but with normal inners they are fine. Although I do have quite big hands so that could just be down to me.
Another possibility could be these:
http://www.owzat-cricket.co.uk/acatalog/2010_Masterclass_Gloves.html
Although I prefer a longer cuff.
-
are they actually 'custom batting gloves'?
-
Custom as in they are not for wholesale and/or available to the public. Not custom in the terms of being personally made to fit my exact measurements.
-
Let me know how my old Allegiance goes through the summer. It hadn't really loosened up before I sold it.
-
Let me know how my old Allegiance goes through the summer. It hadn't really loosened up before I sold it.
It still needed knocking in properly when I got hold of it! Seam marks still coming up on it. Have knocked it in for another 2 hours ish so far, and it is coming along nicely. Nothing compared to my LE. Now that does ping amazingly.
-
I did it for a couple hours before I sold it and use it in a few nets and a couple of matches
-
I did it for a couple hours before I sold it and use it in a few nets and a couple of matches
Oh right. Definitely hadn't been knocked in enough when I got hold of it. As I said, if the seam is showing on the face of the bat when playing then it still needs a bit more time preparing.
-
I probably tried to rush it a bit to use it on tour at the end of the season

Would you say every gloves are different then? Some need padding some don't etc etc....?
-
Last year I had the Slazenger ones with padded inners and they were fine. Although my inners were fairly old and so worn in. It doesn't bother me what sort of inners I wear as long as it feels comfortable to keep.

Few more additions to my bats :D
Replaced the stickers on my ICE sub zero with Kahuna icon ...wasnt a perfect fit as its not the same shape but still very happy with the result :D The first diablo on the left was also stripped and i applied a metallic vinyl sheet on the back before applying the orignal kookaburra stickers to give it the same effect as the graphite one :) quite please with that if i am honest
since the last picture i have added a puma classic 5000 and another Kookaburra Kahuna ICON signed by Kumar Sangakkara
Also have an Absolute Belta on the way :D
enjoy :D

i like the hawk kahuna thing
-
Thank you all! I might just have a favourite brand indeed lol
just waiting on the orginal kookaburra toe guards to arrive and a few grips here and there and they will be complete.
My favourtie will have to be the kookaburra ICON graphite the one without the signature. It weighs a touch less than 2lb 5 ounces all in (yes all in) but it has the best profile and power i have seen of any bat. It has thin edges but its easily the best stick i own. Absolutle joy using that bat.
-
Older graphite beast, easy :D
also a very nice bat with nice profiles. i am about to upload the profile of my favourtie bat :)

I want to give them a try. They look a bit like grips for tennis rackets. Do you apply them with a normal grip cone?

nope, they are a wrap on grip, takes a bit of getting use to but once you get the hang of it its easy. I hate using grip cones ...always end up damaging my fingers :( another thing i have noticed with aero grips is that your gloves get much much less wear on them

i personally would never wear any fakes of any brand. They end up doing more damage to your eyes than offer any protection.

I'm in the middle! Don't like aero grips on match bats but use one on my surridge boom bat. I don't wear gloves so it feel great and doesn't ride up the handle!

They have Pittards Armour Tan WR100X palm on top of that they are really comfy :)
-
In Australia we dont get that other kind of pittards leather, we only get the kind that is on the Kookaburra Khauna Ricky Pontings and the GM original LE's. I wonder why over in the UK, pittards is almost a must, whereas over here, most just have sheepskin or calf skin depending on the quality of the gloves. I've always wondered why?
-
They have Pittards Armour Tan WR100X palm on top of that they are really comfy :)
Its pittards cougar leather, the WR100x is just the treatment. Armour tan palms are the ones on the Kahuna 1000 and GM LE gloves, not these

Get a masuri with that and ya sorted fella ;)
Had one mate and just couldnt get on with it I'm eyeing up an Ayrtek but dont wear a lid often enough to Justify one! :D
-
TheBoyLegend - What do you think of the GM Original LE Duplex?
-
Brilliant Bag mate couldn't recommend enough it is for the rather anal cricketer though I like having all my kit in its own compartments and separate from each other if your a "Chuck it in the bag worry about it later" kind of guy you'll hate it. But the "bat cave" is worth the money on its own ;)
-
I think Rich said something about the pads not fitting in the compartment?
-
It struggles with moulded pads and rubs big bats in the bat cave as I had one
-
I haven't had a problem with that if I'm honest and as you can see my H4L pads fit in the top in their Bag no worries
I was a bit twitchy about the Monster in the bat cave but seems fine to me
maybe I got a rare "Monster sized" version ;)
-
Who do you play for mate? Your crest looks exactly like mine!
-
It started to sort of sand my bats as they were fairly big
-
Bedhampton Mariners CC est 1872
think we've had the crest for a while so promise we didn't steal it :D :D :D :D
-
blimey!! I'll keep an eye on it if it does start to damage the H4L I'll tap up matt for a bat cover!
-
It did it on the sides more than anything bit was noticeable after 3-4 uses

I wasn't being ungrateful or disrespectful and I'm sure asking a question like that wont have offended JNC but I could be wrong could you ask him for me jon and get back to me on here?? :P
-
It's got a massive bat-sized hole at the bottom, and I used the velcro off it to use on my new sofa, it was sagging at one end
-
Im sold!!! can you make sure there's plenty of Bin Juice in there to? maybe if you could find the odd crusty old sock really sweeten the deal!??
-
I got it from a bloke I know who's in the Pakistan military. Apparently, Bin Laden used it to keep his cane in it, he loved his cricket that fella
-
My two bats for the season.
The D&P bat was re-handled and and cleaned up by Talisman and applied with new D&P stickers. The Kookaburra was originally a Kahuna Choas. I returned it to kook for a clean up and new 2011 stickers.

-
Just updated it there, can't believe I missed them out!! 2 Lavers are on order. Wanted to wait till the orders from here died down before I chose mine so would get a better overall choice instead of just what they hadn't sold.
-
Good choice mate. Having 4 bats tho will give you tough decisions what to use...
-
Not at all, Talisman is first place till it packs in! Then might be tempted to start netting the Lavers in, Mongoose is my T20 and mess around games bat!

([url]http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/ac91/minhasuz/DSC05685.jpg[/url])
This is stupid lol seeing that video surely you can sell me one of them gunn and moores hahaha
-
<<picks up jaw from ground>>
<<Dribbles>>
That is also called Willow Porn.
-
He owns more than that now. He has another topic somewhere and it is insane. Doesn't even begin to rival Mr.Hosk though.
-
its a joke lol im trying to phrase this as nicely as i can but looking at him in that video he really doesnt need all them bats and should help a brother out :)
-
I can see this being like a scene from 'Grimebusters' where they take stuff from a house from a horder called Mr Treebus, because the poor man cant move in own house.
P.s
I will bat sit for you when you go on your holidays
-

No one can compete with Pete no matter what, he is in different legit altogether.
As far me deserving a bat goes I don't think I even deserve a Grade 3 bat based on my batting but cricket is not just a sports for me we well I do have personal attachment with cricket. My day starts with cricket and ends with cricket.

Heres my kit.

humm C-D I hope you have your kit in a separate insurance policy, I recon you have more than £6K's worth of stash... that is serious devotion.

ive seen less bats in Romida at times
i think your well and truly giving Mr Hosk a run for his money
-

I am not sure - I think Pete has about £30K's worth of bats (and Mrs Hosk has £60K's worth of shoes and handbag's I hear ;))
-
Do you not have a bag CD?
-
humm C-D I hope you have your kit in a separate insurance policy, I recon you have more than £6K's worth of stash... that is serious devotion.
LOL I doubt there is insurance for cricket gear.
Never counted how much I have spent if I do then I'll go in ICU within two days :(

Nahh I was never in race with Mr. Hosk he is Legend, he is basically Bradman and Tendulkar no one can catch him, he is a legend himself! Top guy too I must add!
Do you not have a bag CD?
I do! The bats were on top of the bag but the didn't appear in the picture
-
C-D - it is an extension of your home insurance - and yes it can be covered.
-
I know for sure house is covered, if there is robbery or anything like that insurance people just demand pictures or proof of ownership
-
which bat do you actually use in a game ??
-
SO far I have used both Puma's in games.
-
did you get any ? how many games do you play in a season if you dont mind me asking ?
-
(http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae18/essexarsenal/Braintree-20110531-00257.jpg)
Although quite a few are bats which people are buying off me :(
-
There are like 16 games (before playoffs) but if I you're playing for more than one team then you have more games obviously.
I have played 3 games in this season so far.

-
More importantly. SLAZENGER SXi!!!
-
Tailsman arrived this morning from Mike, really happy with them. Bought two for a freind who loves them but thought I would get a quick picture with all four there. They are all blank CA or other Asian brands which Mike got for me.
And redback is a gun, pick up is out of this world
-
Cheers for that mate!
Can you give a profile shot of them if you don't mind ?
-
And the Slaz! :D
-
cheers cover drive just intrested to see if you had a bat for every game lol
-
i've got a slaz sxi. it's crap.
-
I had a 2,13 one briefly. It was brilliant.
I love the shape so much I'm getting one copied :D
-
cheers cover drive just intrested to see if you had a bat for every game lol
No worries mate :)
Actually I used Puma 6000 in the first game and then Puma 3000 in others.
I don't have any game this week but next week it will be some other bat depending how I do in nets with that bat
-
im jealous of your choice mate , just out of intrest do you think buying these amounts of bats is now beyond a hobby and is an addiction ?
-

I would say yes, it starts as an hobby and gets addiction.
It is only addiction when you know and see funds in your bank account once that is finished you won't buy more
-
well if your ever selling any of the gms or gray nics then please get in touch pal ha
-
For sure mate :)
-
Great collections both of you!
Very impressive! :D

BATS
H4L L.E 666 Monster - Cracking bat great ping, pick up, faultless.
GN powerbow 5 Star - One hell of a Performer - refusing to let this go gets refurbed every year.
SOFTS
H4L 666 - Very comfortable, light, flexible, great protection.
GN Powerbow - Do the job (Cant afford to buy new ones)
PROTECTION
GN elite - Masuri got hit and broken so having to use this lid.
Standard Box - Does the job
Accessories
Sidearm pro - Very good, had a few throws, feels very rigid (have to put some venom into the throw).
GM Grip pump - Very handy, can change a grip in less than a minute (Yes i have timed myself!).
Shoes
Asics Gel Strike rates - Great shoes for batting and bowling offer great comfort and support.
-
Lovely! That Gray Nicolls Powerbow make this amazing!! That bat is hell of a bat!!
Its my favourite bat ever! Shame you can't buy it from anywhere else now :(
-
Less than a minute? I can do it sub 10 seconds with the right grip!
-
Finally got all my gear for the season.

Bats are both 2'8
The one with the red stickers is a Talisman and the other was one of the ones SillyShilly made from a cleft from mike.
-
Do you use those pads when playing in white kit?
-
Those Bradbury stickered bats look fantastic! Can't believe the top one is 2"8 also! Loving the red bradbury stickers, havent seen them before...
-
That bat is huge!
-
Do you use those pads when playing in white kit?
Nope, got white ones back in the UK but only coloured kit nonsense over here.
Those Bradbury stickered bats look fantastic! Can't believe the top one is 2"8 also! Loving the red bradbury stickers, havent seen them before...
Yeah, I don't really like their bats but I do like the stickers, got them from a mate in Oz as I'd never seen a set before either.
That bat is huge!
It is indeed, opposition players always want to pick it up if we take drinks etc
-
Finally got my hands on my kook ccx softs from mike. First impressions theyre very good. Was worried about the sizing of OSMx but theyre perfect. Will stick some pictures and a review up tomorrow after i've used them.

The grips are not uniformly even (is that right) and need to be put 'correctly' ;)

The kook softs are quite similar to this seasons H4L ones arnt they. Need to get my bat in for a refurb soon too. got nearly 700 runs with it this year :D
-
Very nice kit jimba. All colour coordinated, same approach I have gone for with my new gear
-
Untill i put the puma tricks spikes on :D
-
Nice kit that, especially the bat. Is that the same brand that Azhar Mahmood uses?
And my kit for this season has been;
Bats - Slazenger V600 - 2lb 6oz (this is about 7 or 8 years old now); Adidas Pallera County 2011 - 2lb 8oz - used twice in matches and in a few nets, going to sell it.
Boots - GM Original Pro Multi-Function
Gloves - GM Maxi original gloves (they're about 6 or 7 years old now and still going strong :D )
Helmet - GM whatever
Pads - GM 808 5 star batting pads
Thigh guard - GM whatever
I'm tempted to go for a new bat for 2012, perhaps a GM Luna or Icon... not sure which yet. ;)

Yes pal, Hell4Leather

Surely the only option with that kit in either adidas, or the Asics gel advance! Shame on you! Haha
-
Yes pal, Hell4Leather
Just been taking a look at their site. Is that bat you using the same as the 666 monster?
If so, that's one hell of a huge swell. Probably double my V600 put together :o

I originally bought the gel advance's but the pumas were more comfy :)
