Not sure about the woodworm but I've heard, seen and read that the GM bags are prone to tearing and they have fallen apart fairly quickly in many cases (although not all). Don't know if you can get them in Australia, but I can wholeheartedly recommend a Salix bag. They're top quality and extremely well built with loads of space.

Yeah there isn't much info around on either hence the topic  :D

Thanks for that info. Unfortunately It costs stupid amounts to get bags to Oz so the choices are very limited with major brands.

Thanks again

I use one of those bags (Woodworm), they are pretty good in my opinion and very good value considering everything else that size is way more expensive (the bags are pretty huge, i think as big or bigger than anything else in Oz).

By the way mate, might be a better idea to buy directly from the oo.com.au site, as if you happen to like something else as well (not just cricket gear) then you can combine shipping and save (they sometimes have a $10 cap on orders as well). Also they have a whole bunch of woodworm stuff including bats etc, so if you like the brand that would be the place to go.

i had the previous version of the woodworm, (its still in the attic holding all my back up gear) i used it for 4/5 seasons the only problem i had was the pocket which was the same end as the wheels dragged on the ground when i was pulling it, i had it full of balls and im 6"2. it looks like the picture shows they have moved the bag to the other end of the bag so this shouldnt be an issue

Like others I've had bad experiences with gm luggage. The original bag I had was pretty awful. The strap was too short to pull it along with which meant having to use the extendable one which is all very well on flat ground but not on grass. Also tore in several places so would probably avoid it.
