Post by: jimba101 on January 10, 2011, 01:10:10 PM: The oblivion seems to be popular between us for GN so far...

Kook must be Kahuna/Blade?
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: Alvaro on January 10, 2011, 01:19:38 PM: i wouldn't bother with the rogue/kaboom ranges.
Oblivion softs are nice.

Post by: seedy on January 10, 2011, 01:39:08 PM: Gn oblivion definitely!
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: andeke11 on January 10, 2011, 01:49:40 PM: GN would have to be oblivion
Kook would be kahuna
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: Buzz on January 10, 2011, 01:50:50 PM: Please can you tell Kookaburra that they shouldn't have got rid of the Ice range!!!
GN would be the oblivion range for me too.

I have thought about it!! I have 2 pairs which will see me until the pads are knackered as I am not particularly hard wearing on my gloves - so i will have to bit the bullet at that point and find a new kit... hopefully not for a couple of seasons though...
better get back on topic now!
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: Washington on January 10, 2011, 01:56:06 PM: For GN is defo Oblivion, and I echo Buzz's opinion that ICE was a superb range from Kook surprising they drop it for the Rogue range! So i would say Blade for Kook
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: Taylormatee on January 10, 2011, 06:37:42 PM: Is the oblivion the best gn in the range then + why :)

Post by: Richie on January 10, 2011, 09:24:19 PM: Don't think a respectable dealer like Asad would do that lads! ;)
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: pacman75cricket on January 10, 2011, 09:26:56 PM: Bought some used Ice Pads & gloves looks like good stuff tempted to buy a 2nd pair of gloves would be nice to have cheap gloves or bat stickers for Ice if they have any around
Title: Re: Visiting Kookabura and Gray Nicolls
Post by: craigwm on January 10, 2011, 09:29:14 PM: Yeah, wouldn't feel right doing GN out of a fiver.
