Well Ian Blackwell has switched back to Puma half way through a season so surely that can't be a good sign?

it's a tough market Mongoose are in
Never seen any in any club games i've played, lets hope it's not Woodworm mk2 for them...

Pieterson and Flintoff got paid big bucks to use the Woodworm brand and they could not re-coup the outlay in Sales

Tresco signing for Mongoose was a big surprise. I hope they survive myself-

I heard woodworm would have been fine if they stuck to cricket but they cane unglued trying to crack the golf Market ??

Not long ago mongoose were tweeting about Blackwell so when did he switch back?

i am saddened to hear this news. . . . . .no what matter . . .Mongoose tried to introduce innovations into the game.. . . not a bad thing.


let me ask.. . . .we are into june . . .the season in full swing. . . .how many geese have you seen on the field of play. . . .i cant remember seeing one. . ..

Ive seen 3 in League cricket 1 in a sunday friendly and 3 in T20 games this year. which is a lot more than I saw last year.
the Majority of these were the Corr model though

Azhar Mahmood also switched last week to using H4L over mongoose

I've also heard that they're not in a good way. Thought this might happen

Just talking with team mates. Don't think that it's hard to work out that Mongoose aren't the marketing machine they were last year and after all their efforts there isn't much to show.

I have seen 3 used this year which is 2 more than last, having said that one of them was the same one that snapped in half against us last year! All three were in the same team as well so I assume they maybe had some contacts.

Ive not seen a single mongoose used in our league in the last 2 seasons and i haven't seen any of there softs in any games either, from my personal opinion i can see it heading down a similar path to woodworm which disappoints me. Paying large amounts to professional players can have an adverse reaction on business and according to GM its largely responsible for the price of the goods on the shelf being as high as they are.

6 people in our team have mongoose bats, mind you it's all of jimmy andersons gear, as his cousin and uncle play in the side! They seem Alryt, not bad to be selling them for £50 a piece!

Tried to buy a CoR3 from Barringtons earlier. The stock picker told me that they didn't have what I ordered in stock, and that they were unable to order more. Make of that what you will.

I've been told that for months. I think stores were allocated stock and that was it, no planned re-orders, or demand has sucked up supply. I'm not sure you can read much into it now it's mid June.
