need new kit- suggestions?
« on: April 06, 2011, 09:02:40 AM »

Well I'm new to this forum so not too sure where to put this topic, but this seemed a reasonable enough place.

With the cricket season just weeks away, I'm looking to get some new kit in and not entirely sure what to get, and wondering if anybody had some good suggestions? I'm open to any ideas. I was wondering if anybody knew of brands which might do some kind of discounts/sponsorship etc.

Hope somebody can help me out.  :)

You play for Suffolk county

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.

Don't know about sponsorship but plenty of decent kit about but it depends on budget as having tried most of the bats off here there is some quality kit about

When looking for sponsorship you must see it from the companies point of view. No offence intended but you are not going to be able to promote their brand very well. I would try smaller named brands, as Kookaburra and other leading brands will give you something like 40% of RRP, which is just the same as what you can get from a normal shop.

Just try and bargain with a smaller brand, and purchase all your kit from them. You should be able to get a good deal.

Look at the sponsors section of the forum. Try them, they are smaller brands that produce quality goods. I believe Instict were looking to sponsor people

There's 10% off saf gear atm. Go with what you think will give you the best gear, not who gives you the most money off

Thanks, that's what I'll do!

I want to see what kit i could get at the lowest price, as I don't have tons of money to spend on gear. :/

That's why I was asking whether people could recommend good gear? :)
