Top lad deserves his chance very sharp and not to bad a bat....
-
I saw this when Tom put it on facebook, Seems to be a good chancefor the guy,
-
good luck to the bloke, great career change
-
yeah tom told me about this top stuff :D
think tom has kitted him out with everything :D
-
Yeah Procricket asked if we would be willing to help out a mate with some kit and as he was only playing up the road I was more than happy to help....kitted him out with the full Elite range as well as a nice ACIS Elite with te Gloucestershire logo upon it.
Seems a really nice lad and hope it all goes well for him next season.....we will do our best to support him kit wise ;)
Full article on the back of the local paper about him as well today which is nice to see too
-
yep Dave is a top bloke happy to help you and him out Tom..
As a person who served with him and played many years with him he is a very good cricketer indeed and a Tremlett type of bowler and has deserved his chance...
A true roy of the rovers story top stuff
-
have u spoken to him lately mate? text him last week but not heard back but guessed hes a busy boy :) was asking how he was getting on with the normal SH bat and regular pads as hes a bit tall!
-
text him today mate he was on talksport and various other things
-
oh the life of a high rolling media superstar......tell him he wont get any better or higher accolade than being on the back of the Evening Post! lol
Im sure he'll give me a shout back when he gets chance as got to sort him out a bag now they have turned up!
-
Does that mean your kit's in the EP Tom?
-
no mate its just an interview with Dave on the back page...hopefully he will score some runs in the kit though for some exposure.....keep an eye out for the Ayrtek Indoor Cricket League (AICL) in the EP over the next day or so as well though ;)
-
Just read this in the evening standard as well
-
Oooooo which indoor league?
-
I'm surprised the ex squadie didn't go for the newbery camo softs that were going chaep on ebay...
-
haha yeah would have been appropriate, Colsey....its an indoor league that a couple of lads at our club have organsised which we have agreed to sponsor. think its being played at Cotham school ???
-
Ahhh ok I play at Witchurch
-
Is he ayrteks first fully sponsored pro?
-
First county one I think as Tom has a filly sponsored youngster as well
-
The youngster isn't pro I don't think, just plays Wiltshire age group? Tom?
-
I suspect he will start in the 1st eleven straight away nice little read on Gloucestershire webpage
After playing with him for 5 years i can tell you nobody deserves it like him he only plays because he enjoys it
He bloody quick and moves the ball and is as tall as a bloody house...
-
There must be a PR stunt you can do - test his army helmet against an Ayrtek?
-
Tom is your helmet bulletproof? (Can you see where I'm going with this?)
-
I m sure Dave could help with that if he is bored for 5
-
Depending on the Kevlar % it could be as that's what bulletproof vests are made out of
-
It probably won't be, but you could test the shock absorption or something against a cricket ball at 90mph. With before and after photos.
Or camo up an Ayrtek and send it off to Afghanistan...
-
That camo lid idea is awesome!
I can see why you've been as successful as you have been Tom
-
Yeh procricket wanted a camo lid back when we first spoke...bulletproof vests are loose layers which work as a net slow the bullet down I thought, havent looked into any great depth at military lids unless Dave has one hes allowed to show me and bring it next time we meet.
Not sure ours would ne bulletproof as it's less than 1mm thick on the shell does a bloody good job at protecting against a cricket ball though ;)
-
Dave is the first pro we have backed with full kit tho yeah :D
-
Other than me though right Tom. Will ferrel in Semi Pro is more like it haha
This guy sounds like he deserves it though, local lad aswell? Nice to see county sides are still keeping there eyes on the talent outside the academies as well. I hope he has a great season
-
Obviously mate... charging u for u kit was just a way of making sure u valued it more and appreciated it's performance ;)
-
All my previous sponsors told me that aswell... Hmmm weird
