But what if it made by the best batmakers isn't or uk...


Then it is a bargain right

well presuming its an Indian made bat then yes its highy overpriced

even if it is made by the best in the uk I'd say its slightly over priced. Well to us forum members that is because we have so many options available when buying a UK made bat

even most of the Hammer bats are cheaper than the top of the range NB bat

The South African connection means my friends at B&S may know more about the origins of the bats and softs. Heck, B&S might even make the bats, although I'm sure they would have told me that!

It would appear that Trott's pads and gloves will not be on sale to the general public.

Just had a guy from NB visit me in the shop.  Their bats are made in India, by Sondhi's, just like Slazenger.  Apparently the softs are made by the same people too...

Was quite flattered to be approached by them as they're only going to be stocking 8 shops across the country this year, so they've been very picky!

The kit is decent - not amazing, but OK - but I am interested more for other reasons...

They just have a very clean and simple range this year - literally just one bat, one pad and one glove - and the price points of the softs are very good.  Bats a little pricey, but I still feel they'll sell OK, especially if Trott keeps up his good form...

That will follow in 2014, along with the footwear and more of everything else...

Shame about the shoes would liked to have seen what was available. Will have to wait for November I guess.

Aren't they a little late into the market for this season? Do things pick up towards outdoor colts sessions starting up?

The rush is on right now. Despite the weather. I was only really looking forward to the shoes to be honest. Although I'm a fan of Sondhis/Slazengers build quality, their gloves are lovely.
