Dynadrive will sell heaps, as badass as the scoop but not as radical which has put some people I know off.

Saving up for my 18th birthday in June 2013 will  buy myself a dynadrive in about 2.12-2.14  assuming they're going to be g1 and maybe an e41 but more likely a blank bat or h4l monster. Will the e41 scoop be coming to the UK?

why only grade 1 my scoop is a so called grade 2 but looks and i guess plays as well as most i have had

The only two I've actually used went quite poorly and had less than 6 grains with plenty of blemishes I'm not hung up on the aesthetics of a bat but I do like them to look and play nice but I guess It's just my friends' bad luck, I'm glad your scoop plays well and I may well purchase one but there's only one cricket shop within about 20 miles of ny house!

Where are you based, mate? Will have to add your area to our wish list of locations (in which to add branches) if we grow sufficiently in the next few years!

It's on Monday the 17th of September.  I think most manufacturers will be there apart from Kookaburra, Puma, Slazenger and GM (who are all doing the Twickenham show instead).  I'm going to both - will you be at the Lord's one, Matt?

I've booked the day off, so I should see you there Paul!

Near Liverpool, and that would be fantastic, come next year I'll likely be getting a train down to london to examine your wares!

Yes you will Paul! Only one cricket shop around here and not a great selection anymore either, would be perfect if It's Just Cricket came to Liverpool.

The dynadrive looks awesome, (from what ive seen on sky sports) and the e41 looks awesome, liked that since usman khawaja used it in the 2010/2011 ashes!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the dynadrive/e 41 and the maverick

I think GN are the front runners, out of all the major players now

Interesting quote, mate, and I'm inclined to agree.  I think some people at GM, Slazenger and Kookaburra might beg to differ, but does anyone dispute that GN are on top of the tree right now?

GN have the most varied range, certainly.
I am unconvinced by their softs.

Question.... What is it the bigget selling big name brand in the UK?

I think it is GN followed closely by Kookaburra here in Oz

There's an interesting quote from Chanderpaul in the catalogue where he basically describes them as delivering consistently excellent equipment, "especially the bats".  I took this as a subtle dig on the softs...

Which is damning when a bat handle he was using had 'SF' on the end of it

I think All Rounder have them in too.  Meanwhile GN have tweeted us saying we can't order until November.  We are clearly very low in their pecking order when it comes to retailers...  :(

That will change over time mate - and you'll smaller manufacturers that you will be higher up the pecking order with as well.
