Tempted, but just can't get my head around not having a single front spike to mark your guard with! (I like marking my guard well and do fairly regularly get a sledge referencing Trott...)

I really can't believe this is a thing - I saw mention of this on the IJC review as well.

You will still be able to mark you guard by tilting your foot slightly to mark your guard with a different spike.

Having the spikes in the right place for your foot is rather more important than having one at the front for marking your guard!

I always mark my guard with the inside spikes Feels weird trying to use anything else

Ha, agreed it shouldn't really be at the top of priorities! Never had any issues with conventional spike placement though, and old habits die hard  I'm sure I'd get used to it no problem, but then again I'm also sure it would irritate the hell out of me for a few games at least.

That's down right weird, I use the outside
who's setting up a poll?

Next you will be asking do you face the umpire to mark your guard or face the keeper..!
(Inside and keeper for me)

Just do what is comfortable

Inside and umpire for me. If you turn your back on the umpire for too long, they can do weird things during your innings by getting involved!

Both... Not sure I always do one first, but start from the crease and mark both down the track and towards the stumps in turn.

I use the inside stud of the boot.

And I face the stumps. As I bat that deep in my crease, I'd knock the stumps over trying to mark it facing the umps.

Always take middle by facing the stumps and drawing a line from middle stump to crease then turn round put bat on marked line and ask the umpire for middle stump.

What do you do when you get it wrong?

Get out bowled leaving the ball.

Got my 4020 delivered just now, they look and feel much better than asics Peake 3 to me at least.
