Cricket Bat Toe Boot
« on: July 04, 2017, 09:06:55 PM »
I think I saw one about good 30 years ago. It was not as high but I am wondering, do they still sell this kinda accessory?

I've had a plastic one in the past. It was awful came off every other shot.
I've seen that style done with a GN toe guard kit in the past

I hope not.
One for the 'most village thing to do to a bat' I think.

When I was a kid I had a bubble and I got given one of these by my dad to protect the toe as my primary school played cricket on a concrete playground.

The good old days... ;)

These just remind me of school cricket. Our secondary had one of these glued on to every bat.

Thanks for the lead but they don't seem to carry it anymore. I received the following reply.

We used too but sold out some time ago I’m afraid.
 
Unfortunately we’re unable to source any more.

You could dip your bat into a resin, or even some wood glue. Would probably have the same effect.

Or you could go to the prophylactic section of the pharmacy.   ;) :D
