You only qualify if you use the £100 kit for a full season.

I would be in but getting anything shipped to me in the US would be a huge drawback for me  :(

I might do this but I don't have the money to spend. I would go look in the catalogue and see what is there.

Think I might join in... Depends on when you start it...

But I think you should list what you expect the kit list to be so that there are no discrepancies, i.e., I am expecting the following:

Bat
Batting Gloves
Batting Pads
Helmet
Shoes
Thigh Pads
Box
Bag

And all items need to be bought in the period that the game runs (receipts required to demonstrate this and price).

If you think something different, let us all know.

Agree here, if you're getting your full kit for <£100 you must have a pair of black trainers in the house already!  ;)

Exactly what I was thinking, the challenge is to get as much of this for £100 as you can.

His about the challenge starts on sat 20th and runs until 20th Oct.

A member of admin who does not enter could be the judge and Winner wins a CBF goodie like hoodie, polo shirt etc?

Well done for starting this - I think it is a great plan. I am happy to speak to Arvind about the prize (pretty sure it won't be a problem) and as I won't be participating am happy to be a judge - I think two judges should be in place to ensure independence - perhaps there is a sponsor who might want to join me on the panel?

I think we would be looking for who has got the most items on the list balanced with the quality (and state) of the equipment purchased plus its usability and the best individual bargain from the items (may be a separate prize).

My suggestion is that shoes are off the list for a number of different reasons, not least cheap shoes are totally unusable...

On that basis the list would be

Oh and no photos mean they don't exist...

For those taking part in the "virtual" competition (i.e. sourcing bargains but not buying them) we will have a smaller prize for you, but you can't use an auction site (like ebay) unless the prices are fixed... (i.e. buy it now)

What if you manage to pick up a bargain and turn a profit on it, can you use the profit to increase your budget?

Brilliant Buzz thanks for putting yourself forward and agree and 2 be judge ideally sponsor would be great.
