Stunning pads!!! But Ricky Ponting used to wear pads that had 7 canes front, isn't it? Cannot recollect seeing him wearing pads that had 8-9 cane front. Maybe my mistake.

Good spot Avkrish you are certainly correct!!

You're very correct... Probably his reason for giving them away...

This is one of the most impressively geeky kit knowledge shouts I remember seeing on this forum...



avkrish, welcome to Mastermind, your chosen subject is professional cricketers batting pads.

This! I did this for a year with my first set of Kahuna's. I'm always telling players that they are wearing them the wrong way round, normally get some strange looks.

This begs the question, is avkrish Ricky Ponting?

Obviously if these pads were actually for sale, they would be in the for sale section with a price in them etc.

Can I remind people that PM selling is banned

sorry to be a little bah humbug.

I own a pair of ponting match gloves and they are totally different from the player edition gloves sold by retailers. They are also small men's/youth in size. He also used small men's size pads and still does so I would have to call into question the authenticity of the advertised pads on e bay. The only gloves similar to ponting's  are the kookaburra player gloves sold by lorimers on e bay when they have them in stock.
