My gear for 2016

Krs · « **Reply #106 on:** January 10, 2016, 04:48:30 PM »

Anyone familiar with the Affinity wk kit? Was thinking about this as my primary purchase this year. Second choice is the B3 kit

I have two pairs (the older red ones and the new ones) and both were supple out of the pack. Great protection for the level I play as well...the only critism is that it doesn't have any mesh panels but that doesn't bother me as I think it's more a novelty than anything else.

Awesome thanks!!

Getting back into cricket after a couple of years out due to injuries. Going to be keeping again and need some gloves recommended.

Any keepers out there point me in the direct of some high quality gloves? If any of you experienced guys have some for sale I would also be happy to go second hand. Thanks

What's the budget Liam?

If you're happy to go second hand, I guess you don't want to spend a fortune? If that's the case, here's a few recommendations:

http://www.prodirectcricket.com/lists/wicket-keeping-sale.aspx - Mostly Puma, beware the sizes, nearly fell for the Evopower 1SE gloves myself, unfortunately only available in Oversized Mens now.

http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/wicket-keeping-c11/millichamp-hall-ck22-wicket-keeping-gloves-p931 - Great price, just don't mention M&H bats...

http://www.vitascricket.co.uk/products.php?id=723 - More traditional looking, although if you're willing to spend a little more, quite a few manufacturers are going Old School with their 2016 ranges, Newbury SPS are a favourite of mine.

Thanks for the links, my budget is �60/70 max, however if I could save some money then I would welcome that! I really don't mind spending the money if I am getting a good quality pair.

I tried on the GM Original LE and they were lovely, however wanted to get some opinions before buying anything.

In that case, you've pretty much got the entire market. You'll not find an awful lot for more than �70.

Can't say I've tried on the GM's, saw them in All Rounder a few weeks ago and they looked quality.

However, if you want to save some money, PM @JG , he was looking to shift some White 2015 Puma Evo 1SE's on the 20th, very nice gloves, could save a fortune. The Pro Direct link I sent before will lead you to the black version if you want to see what you'd be getting. If I caught the ball more often than I drop it, I'd snap his hand off myself!

Getting the B&S gloves and pads soon to go with my kit for this season. Going to try tape for the first time to see if it protects my already wonky fingers

Thanks very much for the help, will get in touch with JG this evening.

Those blackout Pumas almost make me wish I was still a wicketkeeper

Ideally would do some work on katchet then take a few balls in the fielding drills then take some deliveries from the bowlers warming up on edge of square. Being captain though i rarely get the time to do a proper warm up meeting captains, umpires, teamsheets etc.

Do you use thse newbery fielding pads alot?

Not massively although they are great for training. Will use them on a Sunday friendly but not in league.

Are they big enough to cover the knees of a bloke 6'4 tall?

Wouldnt say so, im only 5'6 and theyre just about right for me. All depends on length of your legs though id guess.
