Given that there is an Albion design that is largely identical to both the shrey and old style masuri,  I DBE surprised if there is protection on the lid,  however masuri may have design rights on the grill.

Based on the video, if I'm understanding it correctly, all helmets have to meet the new standard by the end of 2013. Sounds like Shrey will have to re-design to be used in ICC events. I'll wait for the Shrey poster boy to tell me I'm wrong....

That video is slightly out of date, in the sense that the signs initially pointed to the new standard being ready for december 2013, and Masuris original estimate for stock arrival to retailers was pre-christmas. Its now days from the season and we still have no stock.

As I mentioned Masuri have started legal proceedings with shrey so more information will be available soon.

You are on the right track, but on the wrong train.

Masuri did indeed send out legal letters to Shrey back in January (I think), but, having spoken to Raghav Kohli of Shrey today by phone, he has informed me that Masuri have since sent out retraction letters and will not be pursuing any course of action against Shrey.

So, in a nut shell, there are no outstanding issues between Masuri and Shrey at this point of time and nor is there any problems envisaged in the future.

Moreover, an increasing number of members of this forum have contacted Shrey requesting helmets, so the Shrey admiration club is quietly growing. Throw in the fact that everyday more and more international players are wearing Shrey's and it is easy to see that they are winning the hearts and minds of the people who matter the most - the international and first class players...and even with limited exposure and no marketing, the average amateur cricketer who will make up the customer base. People are voting with their feet.

As for the BSI tests, *no one* has passed them as they haven't even been held yet, so technically, no brand can be stocked if you go down that line of thinking.

Shrey will be fine and within two years will be the biggest helmet manufacturer in the world. Whether some nay sayers want it or not.

There are literally thousands of customers in the world - I am sure there is room for every manufacturer.

....... Shrey Trade account coming soon

Vic you are a great PR man for Shrey.

It'll be good to see when Shrey come to the UK market and are stocked in the retailers.

I hope all manufacturers pass the test. Although it doesn't happen with everything, competition tends to benefit the consumer so the more the merrier I say!

I can see shrey now call their helmets the pro guard and the masterclass... Sad really as they seem to be taking their ideas from masuri still as they have copied the masuri xline earpads... Still not innovators are they...

Mate, I would have loved to have been their official supplier in Australia...but Shrey already have a good bloke by the name of Phil O'Meara of Eagle Sports here in Melbourne who has the contract to supply Shrey to the Australian market.

Just like SS sell their bats here in Australia without problems, Shrey similarly have no issues here.

The Indian internal market is MASSIVE, so they are already well on their way.

As for the UK, I do not forsee any problems as everything ill be ironed out soon.

As someone has already mentioned on here, all this competition is great for the consumer. So sit back and enjoy the benefits that quality manufacturers can provide!

I take it that you were equally offended when M&H copied Tendulkar's bat shape...the same bat made for him by BAS - ironically enough, Raghav Kohli's (CEO of Shrey) family business?

M&H even advertised it as the "Tendulkar Shape"...pretty straight forward if you ask me.

To quote you "Still not innovators are they..."

I'll personally be intrigued as to how things will work under the new rules. As I understand it, the ICC has mandated that helmets used in ICC competitions are required to meet the new standards due to injuries in those competitions. That will be World Cups, Champions Trophy, Test Matches, plus all other ICC organised internationals.

If a local board has an agreement with a manufacturer to use a helmet that doesn't meet the required standard, are they forced to use a different supplier?
