Yeh, think they sent it out to all retailers/press yesterday so will be online in a few places over the next few days.

Not available till late Nov though and is pricey as.

As I said on Cricket Insight Tom, SO expensive for the bat! Would have forked out for the softs and the bat if it was say, £180 for a players or something, but certainly not now... £350! And a £400 RRP! I'll take my money elsewhere...

Pads and gloves are competitive price wise but the SPS only Tour bat and wheelie bag seem pricey ah well it is Newbery quality after all

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Pads and Gloves are only mid range though. Top of the range SPS pads are £110.

is there a noticable difference between the tpur pads and the sps pads besides the price?

never noticed a massive one - the SPS are lighter, but the difference between a feather and a very small, lightweight feather...

3 canes vs 7 canes. Shaping on the side bar and top hat is a lot better on the SPS (IMO). Cheaper PU facing on the Tour.

Definite differences, some will prefer one to the other - but the Tour is definitely a cheaper pad in terms of cost and protection levels.
