  Been a good read this one.  Its hard for companys to please every one if they keep things the same they get moaned at or if they try new things they get shot down. And most things with pads have been done before the laws only allow you to do so much to a bat anyway as sorry to come across in this way but just saying as I see it

They'll never please everyone, but doesn't stop some fairly horrible stuff being released.

Looks like the Chase FLC and Cadbury Newberys have pleased everyone though (so far at least)! Rightly so, in my opinion...

The bags are now black and silver, Dan.  In my opinion, they don't look as good, but they are a little bigger.  The Double Decker has gone and been replaced by an even larger one, with a rather unusual shape.

I was pretty disappointed with the M&H kit overall.  I think the softs look worse now, and of all the new stuff, it was only really the Master Lite that interested me, and their prices seem to have gone up more than most.  Can't see us stocking much of them next year...  :(

Yeah, I've got quite cynical about them over the past year or so, and I understand the need for change so happy that I got all my gear when it was better quality/colourway!

The cynicism is a bit extended by the mixture of square toed and faced bats, and the general development in lineups from 2010 to now. Almost as if they're changing, or using different batmakers...

No, but Masuri have got a few new colours (yellow, gold, sky blue, red etc.), and a new entry level club helmet as well, which was good to see...

Did Salix have their bags on show by any chance? Any new Bags coming for the 2013 season?

They had a few, right at the back.  They said they're not changing at all though, which was good to hear - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!  8)
