I get an idea in my head that I want to buy something really expensive and cricket related, pester Jake @ Vitas and then decide not to buy it... I guess I like money too much.

At least when I pester Jake about gear I end up buying something, in fact I think I had 2 sets of kit off him last season... :-[

Okay then - the kit I plan to use for the 2017 season 2016/17 winter nets (subject to change...)

Bats:
Hunts County Aura LPZ 700 - £210
Hunts County Aura LPZ 650 - £165
Hunts County Reflex - £80 (eBay price plus a refurb by Hunt's)

Gloves
Hunts County Aura - £45
Hunts County Triumph - £30 (bought from the forum, having been used once)

Pads:
Hunts County Aura - £50
Padded cover for straps - £8 (possibly, from memory)

Helmet
Masuri Elite titanium - £170
Masuri Stem guard - £50

Bag
Hunts county Aura - £50

Shoes
Asics Gel Advance 4
Asics Gel 335
I can't remember what I paid for either pair, but an equivalent model from this seasons range would be around £80

Protection

Other
Bat covers - £15

So, if my kit got stolen on match day, the rough cost to get replacements would be:
£1,222 - yikes... :-[

Yes , I feel a bit ashamed sometimes .... we need to start a section on here for our troubles .....'cricketers anonymous' or some such . 'Hi , I'm Shayne , and I have a cricket gear problem' . Applause , followed by 'thanks for sharing Shayne , we too feel your pain' .  :D

I wonder what everyone's cheapest match day kit bag would be... So along the same lines of this topic but just the cheapest piece of equipment for each 'category'.

I think this would be one for the kit tramps/cheeky bastards like myself...

I'll have a go at this with my indoor cricket kit...
This probably won't be the cheapest kit going, but I think I've done okay on the "value for money" front :-[
I won't include whites etc. in this  as I already have them from the proper season, and most things I take on a normal match day stays at home for indoor games

Slazenger Made in England V5 (bought used on the forum) - £35
Hunts county Glory gloves & pads (eBay, used) - £35
Shrey Masterclass Air Titanium helmet (bought new on the forum) - £100
GN1000 duffle (bought new on the forum) - £25
GM Box (eBay, definitely not used!) - £3
White Asics Patriot trainers (eBay, new) - £17

Total £215

Funny thing is that i can replacate this kind of kit 3 or 4 times over - so i need to play until I'm at least 50 just to semi justify it .
 Why am I so simultaneously happy and depressed all of a sudden?


Bloody hell , add another $240au , just bought a second pair of morrants . I better make a lot of runs this season .... ;)
