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.

A few people have commented on the toe in particular and I am interested in how others would have the toe given the choice? I am assuming it's the concaved toe that is what people would change and have it finishing flat across the back of the toe? I don't know if the concaved toe is a Newbery thing as my Grizzly also had a concaved toe.

Finished knocking and had a session on the bowling machine with it. This thing flies!!!!  :D You barely have to hit the ball and it races away and the middle feels superb. Will be using on Sat so will post an update as to how it goes in a game.
