Kit Watch 2015
« on: April 18, 2015, 07:52:49 PM »

It's that time of year again where I play a brand of cricket so awful, I have to look at the other teams kit to take my mind off my own misery!

On show today were:

Choice Praetorian softs and a woodstock your de force platinum
A nice red back
A very grainy GM Six6 original
An old school chase held together with tape

There was also a bat with a Bat on the stickers which wasn't a BAS, no idea what it was though

Saw a very nice GM icon yesterday that pinged from every part of the bat.
New Affinity pads and gloves also on show looked stunning

There was some nice willow on display yesterday!

One of the openers had a Chase 4LC that I spend about 25 overs looking at.

Their top scorer (93) was using a nice TON, blue stickers but had removed the model from the front and back. It looked like one of those really low middled ones Jake posted the other day though.

Their Aussie had a very grainy kahuna, and it sent the ball a long way.

Also on show was an almost perfect condition GM epic, another Chase 4LC, a Spartan MC 2000, a Chase R7 and, last & least, a sports direct special Slazenger!

3 b3s and 2 highly concaved hunt counties.

Only 1 bat out them troubled the scorers. One of the hunts. And it had a lovely middle.

Opening bat started batting with a knackered Australian Newbery, eventually swapped it for a much nicer Warsop Marlin which looked and sounded much better.

Number 3 had some interesting kit choices, Salix bat along with those hideous M&H T1 pads and a Adidas Ayrtek with a carbon finish and pump liner.

Oppo yesterday had a rather battered selection of bats - however the 3 guys who got their runs all had decent weapons.

A very large and grainy Big Kahuna, a very new looking GN Fusion and the best, a Willostix Stick, which I had my eye on!

Club with full B3 stash including our hats around 10 B3 bats and a very nice looking Bradbury Butterfly...

Also so a unbranded bat with a whopping 43 grains i counted them whilst standing up bit sad really.

1 battered slazanger that hit us for 70 odd
1 Norfolk bat which had no sign of use on it.
A old school Gray Nicholls which had a good middle.
A New Balance which planted one on my right ankle and for good measure planted me back over my head into the long grass.

Where as we had 2 Puma's, 1 Hunts, 1 Kooka, 3 Blenheim's ,2 G N, 1 Woodworm and a Bumblebee!

I saw an array of everything at Uzi Sports today. Father in law picked up a very nice BAS vampire

Saw for the first time an H4L being used by an oppo team. It was an an exel 666. The one with the red stickers. It looked great, shame it was being used by a guy who favoured the leg side to every ball.

Yesterday saw the usual selection of Kook's and GN's and a very nice M&H Harlequin used to good effect.

Oppo opener who scored 50 out of the first 56 runs and then 94 out of 137 was using a very well used orange stickered Matrixx - loads of tape but it flew a long way.
