No not offended, just if they are the new kids on the block that will always be half a block behind as they are taking their cues from masuri, you would think they would go their own way... Or are you saying if something is that good it always gets copied... If so all shrey will ever be is a copy cat helmet. Classic cars are nice, but new models are better for every day use.

Vic, with your connection to Shrey do you know if they plan to bring out their own designed helmets/grills?

Oh yeah, that is why you have a whole website here dedicated to COPY OTHER BRANDS BATS.

You do not seem to see the irony.

Millichamp and Hall (and other companies) have copied the BAS made bat that Tendulkar uses and even unashamedly marketed it as the "Tendulkar Shape".

BAS is owned by the same family that owns Shrey...and their iconic bat shape has been copied in the UK unashamedly.

Conversely, Shrey have been manufacturing Masuri helmets FOR Masuri for years. Just because Masuri have abandoned this design for their own reasons, it does not preclude Shrey from continuing to churn out these helmets that there is obviously a demand for. How does that make them "copy cats"?

You sound like you will be extremely happy to be wearing the new Masuri design - I wish you all the best with that. On the other hand, we obviously have a massive amount of people around the world who were happy with - what was considered on this website only a matter of months ago - as the "best helmet design ever".

You can wear what you want mate, but, don't expect the majority to agree with your choices.

On the Shrey Facebook page, there are some pictures of the Akhmal brothers in the recent T20 against Australia sporting a new styled grill with different ear-pads on their Shreys.

So, the designs are being tweaked to give the Shrey it's own look and personality. But, it will not stray too far from the classic design loved by all.

I think people like myself will go in a shop and buy what they feel fits best and are happy with. You have been banging the drum that shrey are amazing I just pointed out not so amazing as to invent or evolve a design with out copying masuri.

I just keep reiterating the point to petty, jealous individuals like yourself that Shrey have been manufacturing the much loved Masuri helmets for years. Given that Masuri (for reasons best known only to themselves) have abandoned the design, that hardly makes Shrey "copy cats". They are merely continuing to manufacture the helmet - in the same factory as they have been for years - that was described in this very site back last year as "the greatest designed helmet ever".

Check.

Also, you are a member of this site that by it's very raison d'etre glorifies those independent bat makers who copy well known designs for your benefit...including the famous Millichamp & Hall who copied the Kohli families BAS bat design for Tendulkar (a point I note that you studiously avoid addressing).

Check mate.

You don't want an old (circa 2013) styled Masuri or Shrey - no problem, there are plenty of brands out there for you.

I have talked to Raghav a few times what a top bloke and refreshing man he is.

The venom people have come on from here at times is crazy.

He is a kholi and His family have great tradition in the industry and some people need to respect and understand this.

I'm waiting  for my sky blue helmet I like other prefer the style of helmet plain and simple.

I'm not taking away it detracting from an other helmets because I have tried them all I just prefer this design.

I avoided the Bas bat design as you were making the point for me some companies will never innovate they will simply copy/ reproduce. Nothing wrong with quality etc etc some companies will innovate and move on. Shrey will make as they have a well loved 15year old design. And change bits to look like helmets they like, other companies will innovate. Probably left to their own ideas now we will have a shrey that looks like an ayrtek soon.

Has the Point that Millichamp & Hall copied the Kohli families BAS bat design for Tendulkar been made yet? 

[joeljonno]

I don't believe anyone really has an issue with Shrey, just the forcefulness of Vic's convictions. He says he has no affiliation, then uses "we" when talking about Shrey. He also says that they will be the leading brand and all others will fall at the wayside when there is room for everyone.

I'm all for conflict, and enjoy these threads that get a bit spicy, and names get called, and people get riled. But for gawd's sake, this one is boring.... some-one call some-one a cheat, or a liar, or a fraud or something. This is all a bit tame and dull!

Or lock it up, its not really doing anything is it?
