Sadly, I don't play any more (apart from the odd Presidents XI game at my old club), ... there is so much good kit around these days from many manufacturers that's it's difficult to choose, but I would probably go for the following ... aside from Aswani kit, of course
Helmet: Don't wear one, but reactions getting slower ... in the traditional helmets favourite would be Masuri for its compactness, then Albion 98 ... would certainly give Ayrtek a try
Bat: Still have my SS Ultimate (a beautifully balanced bat, fantastic middle) ... and a Newbery Navarone C6+ (run machine, does not sound that good when hitting the ball, but goes like a gun ... feel in the hand has not been quite the same after the handle snapped and was re-handled). Being in the trade, I see so many beautiful looking bats, some of which I feel reluctant to even post out!
Pads: Love Newbery and Salix, though SS Millennium Pro is in the coffin
Gloves: Again, love Newbery and Salix ... beautifully designed yet simple and unassuming ... also like the look of Redback sausage style, though I do prefer split finger for greater flexibility
Thigh Guard: SS Ultralite ... a bit like the Woodworm Pro, very light, snug fit ... but really like the Aero V6 Strippers
Arm Guard: Not sure
Shoes: Asics ... maybe Gel-180 for fielding and bowling, not too heavy, with reasonable protection ... some rubbers with good pimples for batting
Bags: Prefer my old coffin, though it doen't have wheels and really hard on the arms ... keeps everything nice and neat, which I like
Socks: Nothing like a great pair of thick socks ... paid £10 for an all wool pair about 15 years ago ... lasted me ages and were the best, though seemed like a fortune at the time. The nearest I've seen to them now is the 1000 mile
