Mate today I bought the Kookaburra 1200 Double Decker cricket bag, replacing the GN Legend. Firstly I wanted a bag that would not only carry my cricket gear, but also my clothing, and I must say I am more than impressed. You can fit a lot of gear in this thing. Here are some photos of my new acquisition, packed as it would be for game day. The tiered sections work really well:
All packed up.
The first tier fits my toiletries bag and spikes nicely. There is a specialist footwear well on the side but I have large feet so I found it fitted better here...
The next tier is for clothing. As you can see, I have 2 sets of playing whites, caps, socks, and also a change of clothes and towel.
Playing kit here. In all I have 3 pairs of gloves, strippers, protector, bag of balls (black so they blend into the background). Under the towel are the pads.
There are also 3 mesh pockets inside, which I have various things like sunscreen, inners, sunglasses, etc in there. I'd have preferred some external pockets to house these items, especially a "cool zone", something the GN Legend bag has over this.
Helmet fits snugly in the helmet compartment.
As mentioned I have large feet so I kept the spikes out of the footwear area. In here I just have a bat of a bat repair kit full of grips, tape, bat cone, etc, etc.
Bat section, as you can see, 3 bats fit comfortably in here. The GN Legend only had 2 bat slots.
Hope this helps you with your bag search. The Legend is still a good bag, but I don't think it uses it's space well at all. This is far more suitable for my needs. If it had a retractable handle like the legend, I'd say its a 10/10, but nonetheless I'm thrilled with the purchase.
