Kumar's interview with Island Cricket
« on: April 25, 2010, 06:50:40 PM »

Full interview Link as below.....

http://www.islandcricket.lk/interview/51355650666341/mahela_and_dilshan_will_be_the_best_combination_open_kumar_sangakkara

Kevin Montgomery from Perth, Australia asks: What is the brand of your helmet? Is it available to buy?

KS: The brand is Ayrtek. The helmets are very light and safe. Here is their website: http://www.ayrtek.com/home/

I started to use them because I liked them and not because of any commercial agreement (although the owner is now kindly sponsoring my old school, Trinity College in Kandy).

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

and nice to see a player using equipment that he likes, not just using stuff because a certain company are going to pay him the most

His bats are grade 7?

KS: My SS bat is custom made. They are brilliant bats. The weight is about 2.7. The willow is grade seven quality, which is very hard to find, and soft-pressed. This means that bats can break. I usually go through about 15-25 bats a year depending on willow quality.

Sangakkarra is certainly one of the most articulate captains in world cricket which is easy enough looking at the competition.
He does seem genuinely interested  whenever interviewed on screen.
