So, my match bat is an Amplus mark I which is a great bat, but I have been on the look out for mid/high middle net bat for a few months. I came across Uzi Sports Kookaburra thread and spotted what looked like an amazing lower grade 350 Kahuna which fitted the bill perfectly.
Asad was kind enough to put it to one side until I got the opportunity to visit his store to see it in the flesh. I did this earlier in the week so thought I would say a few words about my visit and purchases.
Firstly a few words on Asad. What a lovely bloke who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about cricket and cricket equipment. He also provided me with a cup of tea and a choc chip biscuit so has friend for life in me!!
His shop is joy to be in and I spent considerably longer than I intended to just browsing and chatting to Asad. The quality of the bats is something that needs to be seen to be believed. I recommend anyone within a reasonable distance of his shop to pop along and have a look.
Anyway, on to the purchases.
Gray Nicolls Legend Pads
Always wanted some, used them today for the first time in nets and they are the best pads I have ever used. I guess at the price they should be!
New Balance 4030 shoes
Kahuna 350
For not much over £100 I reckon this is the best looking low end bat I have ever seen. It tapped up well too!
If this had a much higher grade sticker on it I don't think anyone would have questioned it. It is a few years old, but I actually prefer the non flat face design, so win win for me. Could even end up as my match bat!!!
