Thanks for that CD.

When people say they take more than one pair of spikes, I always find it amusing. I don't think I've ever worn more than one pair of spikes throughout a single cricket match, because I don't think it has any bearing on my performance. As a bowler, my hi-tops were always bought to be comfortable, and I don't think they restrict your movement enough in comparison to your ability to make the slightest bit of difference to run-scoring.

But that's just me!

I usually bat in my asics, however sometimes i prefer my sprigged up adidas trainers to keep in as they are so light and can help with my footwork after a long innings or a heavy tea! Its probably all in my mind as the weight difference is minimal, but i feel it help.s

Aren't some spikes to be peculiar (specifically to batting/bowling)?

I always found Asics to be stiff, they don't seem to be mobile (talking about Asics Gel 3 LE). Seem to be good for batting but when it comes to bowling/fielding they aren't best perhaps only me!

I used to have a massive gray nicolls bag when I was younger that was big enough to take kit and clothes on a two week tour - I don't even think it was as big as the biggest bags these days.

At the moment I use the GM original LE easi load wheelie which isn't the biggest bag but is more than big enough for me. Stands up so it doesn't use as much room in little changing rooms but I do still think its a bit big. I also have a GM duffle that I used for midweek games.

Perfect size and the bag I want at the moment is the slaz v360 duffle, really like the separate pockets and the fact it closes properly instead of via a drawstring which would allow water in when its raining and I'm on the way to the bus for midweek.

Having said that the salix bags do look really nice and I'd love to have a shoulder strap as my GM bag doesn't - never use the wheels as I just carry it so a strap would help.

I have the old red and blue Aero bag which cost a lot, is massive, bulky, falls over, has broken zips, hardly fits all my kit and is a pain to lug around.

I'm definitely looking for a smaller bag, may go back to regular duffles or wheelies.

Last season to an average game i would bring

Bat
Pads
Gloves
Keeper gloves
keeper pads
helmet
thighguard
box
whites
Spikes

And last season i used a bag that was about 60 x 30 x 25, was absolutely tiny and all just about fitted, so for next season looking for a bag at around 90 x 30 x 35 which i think is the perfect size for maybe a little extra room if needed  as i previously purchased the slazenger v1200 stand up bag but had to return it as for me it was just toooo big.

I think if you are a keeper you can justify a big bag due to the extra kit. I used to use a GM Duplex Wheelie and had to carry a helmet separately as it just wouldn't fit in. I only take one of everything except a spare pair of gloves and a spare bat so don't think that is overly excessive. No such problem with the Ayrtek bag I have now.

I don't think the average batsman needs a super massive wheelie bag though. There are a few at our club who have them and they always seem half empty to be honest.

im after a bigger bag than i currently have to be fair- its getting on my nips trying to squeeze everything in. I dont carry millions of kit for myself but have coaching gear to carry as im a coach and all the captains paperwork etc as im the captain aswell. From reading people on here is the salix pod peoples recommendation?

Go and take a look at the All the Gear, no idea thread in the Pavilion. My video is with the Pod Pro, and it is not near full with everything I take out. I also carry (on mtachdays) a towel and full whites, plus lunch and a 2l bottle of drink very comfortably. http://184.154.5.91/cbforum/index.php?topic=21694.0

Never met anyone with such a crusade on big bags haha

I'm a keeper mate, so I pack a fair bit of gear in. I understand your points though, they are a pain in the (No Swearing Please) at the level we play at with the changing room sizes/multiple bags in cars etc

Either your stuff is very much bigger than everyone elses, that bag is smaller than you think, or, and I think this may be more like it, there's a lot more in that bag than you just listed...
