[Mr Cricket]

i think we are a little off topic! Thread was posted for possible explainations as to why afridi has 4 or 5 helmets and uses a different one every time he bats, it might not be of interest to everyone but i find it intriguing. As for tumo, i happen to know him better than most and circumstances he has encounted have placed him in situations which make him very entitled to talk about the benefit system, if he chooses to divulge any more info on the matter then so be it.

well in 20 mins it may all be about to change...

Why not complaining about the three differents bats, he uses on the 4 pictures?

[Mr Cricket]

it is not uncommon to have multiple bats, however it is uncommon to have 5 lids.

Is it? I have 2 lids and 3 grills...

[Mr Cricket]

so if you went on tour you would buy 3 more for the kit bag?

If they'd been given to me I wouldn't see any reason not to take them, or for that matter to take them all. I'd probably have one that I used most regularly, or might be my lucky helmet and one I used in the nets that wasn't for matches.

I agree that four or five is a lot, but some people on here take three sets of pads to a match...

[Simmy]

nobody takes 3 sets of pads to a match that is just outragous

for what it is worth i came from the ghetto time and have done well for myself.

My parents had no money and no jobs some very big generalisations going on here .

my role model was Chris Broad and Alan Border....

I have 6 helmets because i like to try different out.

I could imagine getting free ones i would have one off everybody

For what it is worth if afridi had used his ability alone and stayed away from controversy he would have been world class in all forms
