Bit sad I guess but what pads are most iconic to you

For me there 1

GN test opener

Without doubt the best pads of any era and the air cushion principle and everybody who was anybody wore them

[Cover_Drive]

Gray Nicolls Legend hands down!

[100 not out]

No brainier. Morrant s Ultralites. Been used since Sunil Gavaskars day. And still going strong. The most revolutionary design for me. Still nothing close to them IMO.

I loved the DF ones that Hick and Botham used in the late 80's early 90's. They were I think the first PU faced pads without canes so each section was flat. Also first with velcro fastening i think ? Not explaining that very well but hope you know what I mean !! I had a pair when I was 13 !!

The old DF buckskin pads were great as well. That must have been mid late 80's.

I hated it when Gooch left DF and went to SS and he used those funny looking SS pads !!

I'm with the Morrant Ultralites

DF Magnums weren't they. Was desperate for a pair when I was a kid, but could only afford the canvas version!

I remember the magnum with green trim and velco doubt hats as well

Then they made a le version exactly the same but red 405 hick

Anybody remember woodfords

[petehosk]

This is nice and easy - pads it has to be the Morrant Ultralite International pads!

[tim2000s]

Another vote for the Morrants for me.

Nobody in England has even herd of morrants bar this forum but I agree they are iconic

That's them Dave. Magnum. Had a pair as a teenager and thought I was the dogs with them. I had the magnum gloves as well with the big green double finger protection.

Anyone find any pics of them ?
