rubbish bowling I'd say. Sreesanth, Unadkat and Yadav?? Coupled with Chawla and Ojha hardly going to strike fear into the opposition is it?

More importantly, against this village attack, Ponting still failed twice.

Hauritz and Smith where ordinary as well.

Every cloud has a silver lining.....

Those don't look like Masuri helmet screws, and the Ti22 grill normally has two diagonal bars close to the ear pads. Tweeted the albion guys about this and this was their reply.

They're the new screws on the Ultimate 98, 'the safest and lightest helmet available'!

Albion are offering 4 different titanium grills this season

Post by: Colesy on September 29, 2010, 10:58:36 PM: Safest and lightest cricket helmet available - superior strength to weight ratio achieved using F1/ Aircraft design technology

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 30, 2010, 07:28:08 AM: what does the Ultimnate 98 weigh then? and what makes it the safest ;)
Title: Re: Shane Watson - Albion
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 30, 2010, 07:33:04 AM: Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer shell with Super High density EVA liner for increased energy absorption....so not 100% carbon fibre/kevlar shell merely fibre-reinforced ;) cant see any weight for it on ther website either ???
