When i went into my local one last week they had a fair amount of mid-range GN Bats. Took a liking to a Nitro 5* @ £92 which is fairly cheap isnt it? Felt good when i was knocking a ball on it although i didnt buy it, very tempted to go back and see if its there and use it for next season as it was a big bat for 2lb 7oz.

Also had this years GM original LE gloves for £40 which i also thought was good...

Some good deals on their Slazenger bats, they're usually quite expensive.

Popped back in today when i was walking past to see if they had anything else in

They had GN Nitro 4* @ £64
                         5* @ £80
               Evo Carbo @ £80
Powerbow & Evo Atomic's @£100

and GM Orignal LE 2011 Batting Gloves @ £32

+ some slazenger stuff

all looked very good value for money to me, didnt purchase anything myself, was very tempted by the GN bats though

Why does our Sports Direct only ever have (No Swearing Please) Slazenger bats?

went into sports direct in Yeovil on tuesday, they had 1 bat. A crap slazenger that had 10mm edges and felt about 3lb. But, they have GN Evo 1000 gloves for £27 and the Evo 1000 pads for £40' a full set of top softs for £67! Also had some GM 909 D30 gloves and some GN Nitro 5 star pads and gloves cheap

All this chat about end of season deals and sales got me all excitied yesterday, so I decided to do some research. Looked at my journey home and to my delight I foud that there was a SD shop in Newbury Retail Park, a mere 5 minutes out of my way!! It had to be worth the slight detour with all these Oblivions and other temptations with a tiny price tag attached!!
So I eagerly drove to the retail park and spotted the shop quickly. Found a parking space almost outside - that must be a sign.....they knew I was coming and had a handful of Oblivion powerhouse bats and a few Evo carbos and Slaz bats lined up for me to buy.....obviously!!!  8)
I strolled in and a helpful young lady kindly took me upstairs (it's been a while since that has happened!  ;) )

And tucked away at the far side was the cricket gear, right in between the larger section of hockey and footy!
And me being me, looked straight at the bats! The collection there reminded me of ebay - several bats mainly being Kashmir Willow! The pick of the bunch was a Kookaburra Kahuna 150  :(
My shoulders slumped and I felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment!
I even looked at the softs....oh dear! No better!!
So my quest to find a reasonably priced Oblivion continues!  ;)

Hope everyone else finds a better selection that I did.

My local sports direct in Sheffield also has pretty much bugger all cricket wise. Certainly none of the good stuff like the GM LE gloves that someone posted earlier - shame this isn't on the website.

Also quite disappointed that the GM LE original pads are only small mens as these look really good and are a bargain (no good for me though as I'm 6'3).

2'10 is for 1st XI or if I'm opening. 2'13/14 is when batting 4/5.
Plus I'm not getting any younger!  ;)
