Print

I use to work with printers and alot of them would go into administration, be declared bankrupt. The following day, a new company would then buy the assets and with a subtle name change continue trading as pretty much the same company. The main benefit was to offload debts and rebuy the assets at a knock down price.

Not saying this happens in cricket but could it happen to rid mongoose of sponsorships and overheads dragging the business down?

Exactly what I'm talking about mate yeah.

Someone is still tweeting from the Mongoose account so i guess someone is still working there

As i said yesterday as far as i can see the company is still in operation but for how much longer i wouldn't like to say but from the info i have they are still around.

What I like about what Mongoose have done so far is that they have hit the top of all search engines.

It is now open season "so to speak".

Are you sure? Tested 5 mins ago, lower on Bing, and there's nothing on the front pages of Alta Vista or Yahoo!, if anyone still uses those!

I'm sure if you did the same search for Puma you would not see a cricket bat.

I'm sure if you did the same search for Puma you would not see a cricket bat.

And neither would I expect you to as Puma will most likely throw up the Puma brand, given it is a worldwide sports clothing, trainer and football type kit brand, rather than specifically cricket.

For info, this is the Google trending on Mongoose Cricket (orange), Puma Cricket (Red) and Reebok Cricket(blue).

Can you go back to April/May 2010?

Yup, whole of 2010:



This is the URL. What's interesting is looking at the rankings by brand in the different countries.

Any chance you can try googling Lekka ? (on all fronts)

Interesting Reebok only surfaces during IPL periods!

I'm suprised by the delight that other small (global) brands are taking in this news. I'd have thought if anything this example would be something to be concerned about, rather than being used as a tool to gloat and make accusations.

Well least Tres seems to have a nice bat.
Does he ever use the MMi?
