Humm, as we are dreaming, if it were me, I'd wait until the Ayrtek lids have a proven negative impact on the sales of Masuri and Albion lids before it is worth selling up - then the pay cheque will be a load bigger

Lets be honest the market has been saturated since eveybody tom dick and harry started bringing there helmets out including one of the big company allowing another to share the same design and same maker..

We have all been waiting for the best helmet to take the mantel again maybe this is the one it certainly has gone alot further than the last Big great helmet design the Open Championship one Devon Malcolm and Darren Gough wore.

Good stuff Tom early days but it looking bloody good...

Most of the damage I see to faces is off badly timed shots coming off the bat into the face. Given the amount of effort that has normally gone into the heave preceding this, I'd question whether the ball speed is below 70mph....?

Secondly, on a number of the pitches I play on, I as a tall bowler, who now barely nudges 60, can get a ball to leap off just short of a length and regularly see batsmen have difficulty reacting in time. I think the shortest balls would probably be safe.

yeh spinners are more likely to bring about a sweep shot of which iv seen a few top edges into the face from!

And that Tom is the reason i only have half a eyebrow over my right eye and the reason why i wear a lid at all times

[Ayrtek Cricket]

and he i was thinking u were trying to copy aaron lennon with his cool eyebrow shaving styleeee

Just been sent the pics of James lid and to say it did it's job is certainly a fair statement!!!!

FORUM EXCLUSIVE for you....

The result of taking a direct blow from a jade dernbach bouncer at 80-90 mph. 4mm grade 5 titanium did it's job and kept the ball out in combo with the helmet fit and design

[Maverick79]

Wow, did a much better job for James than Kiwi Flynn's Albion titanium did for him!!

Looks like the Ayrtek has shown up other brands in their safety yet again!
