I second Simmy, believe me I have seen/owned literally all brands softs and your indeed is class!
Is all that really necessary? Especially those pads and gloves, I could never begin to comprehend owning that amount of gear.
Is spending more than £XYZ on a cricket bat necessary, when the club probably has some, or you can get one for £50 from any half decent sports shop? Cricket in itself isn't a necessity, so why shouldn't one indulge? Think of Petehosk for example, he has more bats than I have career runs (must be close anyway!), some people like to collect rocks, some stamps, some STI's (snigger snigger), and CD likes to collect cricket kit! He probably uses all of it anyway! Haha
Here are my bats, pads and gloves;
Alba the SS you see is the bat I first got from my Grandparents in Pakistan in 2009, the bat beside it is tape ball with autograph of Mohammad Yousuf, Wahab Riaz and Nasir Jamshed while Legend has Wasim Akrams autographs
Quality, did you get them signed yourself? I'd love to meet Wasim Akram! Which are your favoured match bats out of that lot?
4 of them have 48mm edges and no concaving so pretty damn huge......I got them from a very good friend of mine
