That will be down to the judges but as were a bat form full of bat & kit geeks I would hope so mate yes

Thought so, so a decent full set of kit would be rated better than some manky 300 year old kit

Gotcha

I bought gear last season on my bank card,
I tried to buy an octane on my credit card(out of stock)
I tried to buy pads and gloves on my a bank card.

Apparently this is the actions of a credit card thief, and my account is on online stop, and I can only buy via telephone from now on to ensure they are my cards.


I told them if they believe people in 2015 only have one payment means, then there retarded, and to go #### themselves.

Only owning one bank card, that's a new one to me, and I work in financial services so like to think I know about that kind of thing!
Don't most people own a bank card & a credit card as a minimum?? PDC seem to be going out of their way to avoid business rather than attract it...

It's a backwards form off thinking. but that's how there system is set and they won't change it for anyone!
The war on fraud is bound to have a few law abiding casualties unfortunately.

We have to do a money laundering and suspicious activity test on a regular basis, funnily enough owning 2 payment cards was not a trigger for alarm bells, it's normal.
Yes, fraud prevention is all well and good, but blocking your account because you have two cards - that's taking the piss a bit!

nuts - unless you are buying over £10K worth of kit at a time... now if you were, my suspicion is that you wouldn't be shopping at Pro-Direct Cricket!

they must have had some organised abuse against them

Ok guys so interested to make sure this happens for those that are interested the £100 challenge can now begin.

Rules as such can be found in the thread but basically you have a budget of £100 GBP to gather a full kit in your normal sizing. Min qualifing kit will be

Bat
Pads
Gloves
Protection ( box, thigh guard )

Any postage costs do not come from your £100 budget.

The winning kit collector will be judged by Pete Hosk and Buzz.

Just for fun unless a sponsor wants to donate a prize or admins can provide some CBF goodies.

Good luck to all those that take up the challenge.

Can I enter the kit I received on Friday?
I know it was bought before the official start, but it was the kit that meant I didn't have money for the £100 challenge  :-[

Well I wasn't intending on entering this and chances are I can't as I've bought some pretty handy purchases that total unfortunately £104!

Given that you need to provide a receipt or proof of purchase, e.g. Screenshot of PayPal payment, and the date on that is pre-20th, I would expect not.
