SS are looking to hit the UK market with a bit more vigour this season as their UK agent has more time on his hands to push the brand into the retail sector now they aren't doing Albion as well.

they are SS keeping gloves, the sames ones he has been using the whole your. all his keeping pics on cricinfo since he got there have been SS gloves

Doubt he would go to NB, their keeping gear is horrid. My money is on SS given where in the world he is at the moment but would like to see him in Kook

completley off the wall to this discussion I know, but one day, just for once, i'd like to see a top pro use one of the small brands and when charles coaville/nasser/knighty asks them post match(after a big ton):

''the viewers might be interested in your bat sponsor matt/cookie/trotty,they are not so well know,why are you using their bats out of interest?''

matt/cookie/trotty:''I dont get paid by them I use xxxx because they make the best bats in the country''

just a thought  :) :) :)

Don't think he'll go to New Balance. Spartan or Boom Boom would be my guesses, but have no inside info.

I agree - if they were being paid £250k a year, it would be fantastic of they used a brand like SAF, Redback or Kicking Horse for free.

However, could the small brand then cope with the potential demand they would receive, and would that change everything?

Also, I don't think there are any International players using Newbery with Newbery stickers are there?

fair point fattus cattus, I suppose the smaller brands may not be able to cope if 500 people emailed in wanting at H4L or SAF/any other....
dont know of any international players using Newbery (with stickers) the most recent pro's are dominick cork(retired i know) van jarsveld of Kent and Murrey Goodwin(glam now I think)
Prior's deal with Slaz must of expired or he could'nt agree sponsorship with them.
It's unusual to see a pro without a sponsor these days, remember watching Micheal Clarke get 300 with an unstickered bat and then get a huge deal with Spartan.
I'm sure some players have favourite bat-makers they stick with,did hear on the grapevine the fussiest was Rob Key who had been using the same batmakers for years.I was also at a Dinner in Middlesex when Ramps was the speaking(he was great) and he said it is true he had 100 bats in his house-all virtually identical in weight and pick up.

In regards to SS/Ton, has anyone seen any Big Bash footage as Owais shah is using the Ton limited edition i think, As for Matt Prior for his style of attacking batting someone like Spartan or SS should go for him,
Just my opinion obviously
