What was the boom boom c to v bat like? Can't tell from photos but does it have a flat face?

Looks similar to the gm zona - but I'm not keen on the flat face & stickers of the gm, so this might be a better option.

The new Newbery bags were hideous, as was the lightweight M&H pads.  I'm also not massively keen on the new Salix stickers - don't understand why they and Newbery are so keen to get all funky and hip - it doesn't suit their style at all!

This may be controversial, but purely from a retailer's point of view, the best on show today were BoomBoom - their price points cannot be beaten.  Simple as.  And nice to see them experimenting with new kit like shoes and fibreglass bats!

I think they are tape-ball bats, no? Saw loads of them in Pakistan...

Or indoor cricket, kids playing in the park etc.

I also forgot to mention their bags - some good big bags for about half the price of most other big bags...

Technically, I think Chase had the best range there, just a shame they don't want to supply us!  :(

Good to see I'm not the only one to be rather disappointed in the Salix stickers.

Funny how people have different opinions on things.
I showed my Dad the new M&H pads and he said they were nice. They're growing on me but not sure they'll be my next pair of pads

Well, I only managed a fourty minute flying visit, which was pretty much what I'd hoped to spend per stand, but a few impressions.

I think Paul is right about the Boom Boom stuff - lets face it, none of us are their target market, and I can well imagine that the kids will love their range again next year, especially given that they are very competitively priced. 

The three things that most made me go "want one" were the new Chase bat (nope, the name slips my mind), the Cadbury GT335 and the SS softs.  The thing that I most liked was how generally decent cricket folk are!

Thins I did not like (aside from certain brands policy on long blades!) were the Salixes, which looked less desireable than they have for years, the gakk G&M range, the loss of the B52 from Newbery (though oddly I didn't mind the JLN stickers...wierd) and the prat of a doorman!!!

from the pictures i like the SF gloves and MH space age pads.

What was the quality like on the SF golves?

The MH bats looekd to have square toes not rounded?

Any idea on prices for next years gear ... have the MH bats hit £600?
