Would last me for the rest of my playing career, so looking at it that way, £100+ isnt a bad price

Nice coffin, but seems from that picture a bit limited on what you can get in there, I guess it is no good for a wicket keeper!!.

Considering my large wheelie only lasted a season and cost me £55 I'd say the coffin is very reasonably priced.

I've been toying with the idea of one but have never taken the plunge and bought one.

Used a morrant coffin for many seasons but got cheesed off with carrying around at grounds where we had a trek to the changing rooms - if you get one go for wheels!

Vulcan kit looks great @19reading87 could you add some pics of the bats & stuff please.

Cheers!

Long overdue post here.  @cover_drive has been insisting that I put something up,  so here goes. 

I am actually in the middle of my season,  but it's been quite the hunt to find the right match bat.  For the past two seasons I had been using an uzi pro.  It was the ultimate weapon,  but after about 2000 runs,  it finally went.  It was easily the best bat I had used and the search began for my next match bat.  I tried a few brands before finally settling on the few below:
From left to right :
1) uzi pro 2.8, 40MM (white grip) -  first bat I've ever hand picked myself from a store.  My current match bat.  Balance is superb. 
2) uzi pro 2.12,  42 Mm (yellow grip) -  ,  an absolute beast.  This was the best pinging uzi in the store but Def pick ups like a 2.12
3) gn xxx8 2.78, 40Mm edges,  to sexy to say no to.
4) ton reserve edition -  2.8, 40Mm, fuller profile. Has a semi oval handle and was apparently destined for ramdin.  Don't know If that's true,  but it's a great bat. 
For softs there are some aussie gn legend and uzi pro softs to match.

Love the pads.  Light weight and classy,  they offer all the protection  I need.  Highly recommended.  If you can try a pair on in store

Unfortunately @ca_gold I live in Trinidad, so trying them on won't be feasible.

@ca_gold lovely kit mate, how come you've got one Uzi at 2'12 and rest of your bats at 2'8? if you decide to move it on let me know as 2'11-2'12 is my preferred weight.

Also where are you playing that you are half way through the season? Not in Aus I suppose?

So having been granted permission by the ‘boss’ to play cricket again after a long break I have got myself some kit (nothing too flash as I’m more a bowler).

Firstly for the bat, the highly knowledgeable staff at Sports Direct hand picked a Slazenger V1200 Fusion for me – apparently a bargain at just £49.99 compared to RRP of £199.99   ;)   Nice grains but a couple of blemishes (the main one was hidded by a sticker so didnt spot till got home). Knocked it in (following the IJC youtube process) and at nets it seems to have a decent middle on the occasions I find it.

For softs I took the forum advice and spoke with some of the suppliers on here. Both Vinay and Arvind were really helful and had some great deals. In the end Vinay sorted me out with some nice VKS Superlight softs including his new 2015 gloves.




Now I need to get a bag, and Richard at B&S has wheelie bags for the very reasonable price of £25 – my only concern is that unless I start buying as much kit as most of the people on here, will it be too big? It’s 100 x 40 x 35cm.

http://www.bellinghamandsmith.co.uk/_shop/bags/bellingham--smith-wheelie-bag/

Maybe I need a smaller bag but don’t really want to spend more than £30 – what do you think?

As an incentive I have promised myself a better bat if I can score some any runs this season - The B3 and Aldred ones look lovely.

Thanks,

Get yourself a duffel if size isn't of matter mate - I find them much better personally! (Haven't used a wheelie for 3 seasons now and I still carry around full kit/whites/towel etc)
