The price ofd the 5star is not really much cheaper than you will find in a cricket specialist and you can pick up and see what you are buying. If they do there winter Christmas sale and include the Newbery gear than that will be a result

Regarding Newbery, Masuri, Mongoose etc. appearing in Sports Direct, I've been told that this is just because they bought the leftover stock from Kickback Sports when they went into liquidation.  These brands haven't supplied Sports Direct directly, and from what I can tell, they really don't want to! In the case of Masuri, they actually requested that their images be taken down immediately, and judging from my past conversations with Newbery, I know they would definitely never entertain it!

Yes, they are part of Sports Direct. They were acquired in February.

Thank's

So I'm guessing the sports direct stock is just very limited then?

dont seem to have any masuris anymore, unless theyv removed them
Slazenger helmets are a decent price, pity they are youths and i have a huge head

There are few articles on the acquisition, but one of the key "talking points" appears to be that certain suppliers (not just cricket) refuse to deal with Sports Direct and Ashley. One of the expectations of the acquisition was that Kickback's existing contracts could be used to add supply of these into the Sports Direct catalogue.

I would imagine so, Adam, and when it's gone it's gone!
