A good day with over 100 visitors, Skype interviews with John Mooney & Dawid Malan and a telephone interview with Darren Gough, plenty food and refreshments laid on kids playing cricket out in the car park and plenty banter. A lot of willow on sale and some bargains to be had on the 2013 range.
Didn't take any photos myself of the new kit as the factory was very busy all day but will ask if Streaky and Russ can send some for me to post.
Bats - no new bats but with the options already available it would be hard to introduce something new
Gloves - improvements to the 2013 model with additional pittard piece added to the heel of the top hand and the thumb piece of the top hand changed to a harder wearing calf leather. A new split finger glove with silver carbon effect on first two fingers bottom hand and top two fingers of top hand, very comfortable glove.
Pads - again improvements both in materials and design to create a very nice pad, addition of a leather type graining PU facing I'm sure if this was available from one of the big guns the cost would be very high but the price should be similar to this year
WK gloves - A very soft and supple calf leather glove with a long cuff. Only available in off white with a full cup. Still a change to be made with the addition of cane to the cuff will make these a good addition to any keeper kit bag.
WK pads - a simple design a very light weight pad.
Bags - none available to see on the day but will look pretty much the same with a few tweaks.
Don't think I've missed anything.
A delivery is expected in November and a lot of interest already from those who attended yesterday.
