Its official..gray nicolls india
« on: May 29, 2014, 06:47:16 AM »

So finally the wait is over....gray nicolls have finally launched themselves officially in india


They have a similar range to uk but doesn't have 4 stars, 5 stars and players editions

Instead they have gone for a different grading..

As you can see in the picture it says LEGEND GN9

They have a gn3-gn9 with gn9 being the best...

And they are very cheap

Legend in indian market is costing AROUND 210 GBP..

And legend gloves are costing around 25 GBP....quite a difference from UK makret

I believe the GN3-GN10 rating is GN's 2014 grading standard, it's the same in UK as well.

I've never seen any reference to GN3-GN10 in the UK.

this website has been up and running for quite sometime... saw it as early as January this year while going through GrayNics 2014 range...they grow their own willow so their grading is always going to be ambiguous...like in the UK they have names instead of grades STRIKE,4 STAR,5 STAR,PLAYERS,TEST,LE etc., here in India they have numbers for grades ranging from GN1(their lowest offering) to GN10(their highest offering)...Gn1,2,3(Grade 4s),,Gn4,4.5,5 etc(Grade 3s),,Gn6,7(Grade 2s),,Gn8,9(Grade 1s),,Gn 10(LE) ...the above grading is my assumption(which is mainly based on cost comparision) because the retailers here have no idea and distributors won't tell...

Though I don't follow GN a lot but I have seen bats with that grading in Ebay UK.

On searching a bit looks like those bats are coming from outside UK.

if the bats are graded in Gn nos., its most likely to be sourced from an Indian GN distributor...
