Too much gear!!
« on: December 26, 2014, 09:50:06 PM »

Hi all,

I have acquired far too much gear recently and it's time to get rid of some before the wife kills me!  Since joining CBF less than 3 months ago it has hardly helped my cricket equipment habit and I've bought an Aldred Grade 2 Xmas offer bat and have B&S GP274 bat, pads & gloves, B&S Assegai 3 star bat and B&S wheelie bag on way.  This is more than enough gear for next season so the rest has to go!

This is the current state of our spare bed:

I'm nowhere near you when it comes to bats but I do believe this forum has a lot to answer for when 11 months ago I only had (and was happy with) 1 bat. At one point of the summer I had 4 helmets :o My softs collection still needs reducing

I've been quite lucky that two of my bats last year broke.. so I'm now down to 2.. although, I have asked someone for a copy of the good one but heard nothing back yet on price etc :(

Every time I see a Ton or SS bat I think I should try one so your bat picks are not helping me. >:(

Surely no sensible reason in having 12 bats, 7 pairs of gloves etc......

Most pro's don't own as much kit

Not even a spider would need that many pads.

Lovely collection tho.

No sensible reason at all.  You'll find that some people on here arnt all that sensible when it comes to cricket gear!  Also several of the bats, pads and gloves are ones I've owned and used over the years and just kept.
