Sounds like Select have chosen an honest market to aim for. Lower priced but not cruddy quality will definitely help out younger and starter club cricketers, good luck to you.
Also going on the hunt for a bat for Simon is what I call good service.

Thank you for your nice comments.
I hope that I do provide honest service.

I am slowly but properly trying to build an honest customer base.
Sorry if I seemed quick to react to some slightly negative comments but it frustrates me, as it probably does for many other brand owners due to the passion for my own work and hard worked kit.

I would love to upload some pictures of my new ranges for everyone who doesn't know me or my brand but would obviously wait for approval or disapproval by admins.
If an admin could let me know either way, that would be great.

I do not wish to in anyway advertise my gear, will not feature prices, links or any info (unless questioned).

Never done a review before but here goes. I was in need of pads and gloves so I saw the Select Cricket site and thought I would take a punt on a smaller supplier (compared to my normal Kookaburra gear).

Firstly, the customer service and delivery was first class which for me is a big deal. The pads are excellent in my opinion and although I haven't used them much yet I am impressed by the looks which have minimal branding but also have a similar look to some Newbery pads. The fit is good and I especially like the comfy straps, which I'm sure will be ideal when netting in shorts, as I like to do. Difficult to comment on the protection as I've not really been hit on the pads.

Gloves, are again excellent with minimal branding if somewhat different to my usual choice of 'sausage style', as they have used the ever increasingly popular multi section protection, which seems really substantial, yet flexible. Feel with the bat in hand is excellent and feel like I don't need to really wear them in, which could be due to the Pittards palms but I'm no expert.

Finally I chose to buy a duffle, which again is good quality and is massive and holds all my gear (with room to spare), and I especially like the fact that there is an integrated bat pocket. Having spoken to Select I know they took many months and lots of research to get the duffle as it is.

I really wanted to get over the fact that Select has made a good addition to the cricketing market, selling quality gear at prices that your average cricketer can afford.

Just seen your review John.
Thank you very much for the indepth review, I'm really pleased you like all the gear.
I hope you have a good season with the gear.
Cheers

Softs look nice would certainly consider then.

Unfortunately I wouldn't consider a bat due to the short 2 month warranty.

I'd recommend at least a 6 month warranty. Would put me off that if I bought a bat now by the time i'd knocked it in and had chance for a few nets to play it in it's out of warranty and if it breaks in the season i'd be buying another bat.

Sorry mate, my mistake!
You must have read that from my FAQs page, showing that I forgot to update that!
As a brand, we have offered 6 month warranty for nearly a year!
Thanks for the heads up, will update that page today.
Cheers

No worries, a good response!

Simon, you're a top bloke. I will have a look about for you next time I hand pick a bat.
Can't guarantee it will be up to your standards, seeing your collection, but I can guarantee it'll be one of your cheapest bats haha!

How do you hand pick bats all the way in India? isn't it a bit expensive to be flying over to India to hand pick a bat lol?
