So foolish not to go with Ayrtek, that even Ayrtek sponsored players have abandoned their Ayrtek's...Broad wore it once this ummer before going back to his trusty Masuri and Kumar Sangakkarra did not wear his Ayrtek longer than he was contractually obligated to do so...and what is Sanga wearing now, you may ask? A Shrey, ladies and gentleman, a Shrey.

I repeat, Shrey will be the biggest helmet manufacturer within two years.

We dont sponsor or contract any players Vic, we are a very small company that made the decision not to pay players to use them from the outset, those that wear our helmet do so by choice.

As usual you arent in possession of all the facts, perhaps if you speak to your contact at Shrey they will get you upto speed as its not my place to divulge the info on an open forum.

Cheers

I apologize if I sound like I have been big noting myself. But in actuality, my contact in Ayrtek (due to your participation on this forum) can be said to be stronger than my contact in Shrey.

I make no apology that on a number of levels I am repelled by the Ayrtek helmet...but that should not bother you as firstly, I am a nobody, and also, being an out there design, you must surely have expected it to polarize the cricketing fraternity?

I have been a Masuri fan since day one and I am confident that Masuri (or it's successors in design) will be around for a long time to come with a design that appeals to people of my ilk.

Again, I apologize that I have drawn inference that you sponsored players when you have not and I wish you well with your business endeavours.

You should probably apologise to Shrey if you know someone/have a contact there.
Your one man personal campaign in this thread has personally put me off buying one, I may be the only one. If you don't have a connection to the brand I can't figure why you would have argued with anyone on here about player injuries, the success of future cricket helmets, British Government for the sake of them.

It reminds me of people who follow music bands when they were small, hoping to be able to say "I went to their gigs when there was 5 of us - I'm their biggest fan". People do and say this, but when they're right it is only themselves who hear their victory cries.

You talk about Shrey helmets being fine because nobody has been injured wearing one, but they've been out for 6 months. Yes Masuri before that but players have been injured wearing Masuri's.

The video Shrey posted of the impact I noticed that the ball comes at the helmet at a 90 degree adjacent angle. Showing it is safe against beamers. Tilt the helmet backwards to replicate the ball coming from the ground and I'll believe it's safety.

Yes I'd pay more for the same Masuri, but isn't life with choice wonderful. Think I'll stick with Albion or Ayrtek for now

Am I the only one who seems to think some people have screws loose on here? It's starting to resemble a thread on a David Icke forum right now.

There are a few products in the market, one is largely noted as being the safest (I own one) but it is not to everyones tastes at the moment (bare in mind I'm sure people had the same opinions on helmets full stop when they first came out). But there are options, a helmet is better than no helmet.

No government conspiracy just a furthering of standards. The Shrey may conform to the standards with a couple of minor changes, there you go, may not need a complete overhaul. They may maintain the status quo and remain the market leader, I do not have a crystal ball.

I for one will not buy a Shrey on the basis of the aggressive marketing of the brand. When you search for 'Shrey' on google this is now one of the first links, I think this thread has already lost the company a number of customers, even if it loses the company 10 helmets Viv and other have just cost Shrey �400, something to think about.

I will always buy something from someone thoroughly reasonable hence why I have used SQ Sports, IJC, Uzi and Warsop over the last year. And why I think my next purchase will likely be an Aldred.

Tom, thanks for your input on the forum thus far, it's been an education in much the same way it has been learning from various batmakers, pressers and podshavers on here.

I love how people spout forth nonsense like:

"You have put me off buying one with your blah blah blah....but, by the way, I own an Albion and an Ayrtek and I will stick to those"...

By the sound of it, you made up your mind way before Shrey hit the shelves. So they cannot have lost something they were never going to have on the basis that you were not an existing Masuri fan.

When Masuri cease production of their successful and ever popular shape, it will be interesting to see how many Masuri wearers drift over to other brands or simply "stay with the shape" and gravitate towards Shrey.

I know where my money would be if I was gambling man.

Screws loose eh?

What is your corporate background?

How have you succeeded in your industry?

I want to know, so I can be more like you.

All I see in this thread is a guy that believes his opinions are facts, and when everybody doesn't instantly agree with him or like his posts, is getting upset and going on the offensive.

"If you wont like shrey, I'll bring you all day muhahaha".........

And I know where my money will be Vic when none of the UK cricket stores will be able to stock the ever elusive Shrey helmets...

Hahaha!

How big is the cricket gear market in the UK compared to the combined markets of India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, West Indies and New Zealand?

I am stifling laughter thinking about what you just wrote!

Shrey is already worn by Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Duminy, Kumar Sangakkara, a host opf Pakistani players, a number of West Indian players, Jess Ryder and the list continues to grow.

Ever elusive eh?

Even if they only ever sold in India alone and nowhere else they would have a market share that no UK company could ever hope to replicate.

This is yet another example on here of English neo colonialism attitudes on display. No worries mate, the sun never sets on the British Empire...and whatever else makes you sleep better at night!

Yes I'd pay more for the same Masuri

Did I read that correctly?

Are you insinuating that you would pay MORE for a Masuri in preference to a Shrey even though they are BOTH made in the exact same factory in Jalandhar by the same workers with only the labelling being different?

I hope that is not what you meant and I merely misunderstood the tenor of your point.

"G'day Champ,

I was not going to share this on the main forum, and if you bring it up on the main forum, I shall deny it.

I have already got a friend of mine who is senior in the hierarchy at Cricket Australia already looking into assisting Shrey with having the contracting rights for the next years Big Bash League franchises and also the First Class teams.

The test team is a bit more complex due to having some kind of contractual arrangement with Masuri, but even that is not set in stone.

So, your point [that I] "have cost Shrey 400 pound due to ten people being put off" is utter nonsense, because those who are opposing me on the forum like yourself are already non Masuri wearers and I have already hooke Shrey up with major contacts here in Australia which will rocket them to the top.

Thanks for your concern anyway."

Just thought I'd throw it out there. Why would you send this or feel the need to justify yourself to me? Why would you risk writing stuff like this to random people you've never met before and trust me with this information?

I'm pretty certain your friend high up in Cricket Australia and those at Shrey wouldn't be particularly happy with you sharing this information?

Wasn't aware of Shrey till this week. But it seems from your statement only Masuri users will be switching to Shrey. Most people I know are cautious with what looks like a knock off brand. They won't know they're made from the old Masuri factory so will believe them to a cheaper and of lower quality Indian copy, which we know isn't the case. This will mean they'll walk into a shop and try on what's there..... It doesn't matter what the pros wear, most pro's wear the sticker/badge of what pays them the most.....

I was looking for a Masuri when I bought my Albion, I went with the Albion because I could find it at a much better price than the Masuri (bar SD who didn't have my size)

Spanky · « **Reply #178 on:** January 22, 2014, 11:03:03 AM »

So what I have learnt from the 12 pages on Shrey helmets is that they appear to be the same design as the popular Masuri helmet, they can do them in pink, Vic Nicholas is very attached and over protective about them and to some up the helmet market YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY AND TAKES YOUR CHOICE!

It is called throwing misinformation out there to see who are [no swearing please] and who are not.

The Soviets and the CIA used to do it all the time.

You fell for it and have shown your true character.

What a weed!
