Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post as I can't give anything away too much at this stage. But for 2016 there will be a whole range of equipment arriving for the 2016 season.

This will be firstly Pads & Gloves, both of which include new ideas / theories on protection which should certainly get people talking )

Secondly a small limited range of bats, hand painted and rather nice (RPC made) no diamonds this time!

A "phase 2" generation of thigh pad, made in batch production so off the shelf, and entirely soft, literally floppy, priced at about half the cost of my traditional pads. these aren't better or worse, but offer a different type of fit and performance (still no bruises!)

Also a batting shoe insert which covers the front foot toes and facing side, enough to take away the agony of getting those yorkers.

There will also be a special development with It's Just Cricket's platinum lounge, this will be very exciting but you'll have to stay tuned )

If I am going to show any sneak pics or info, what would people like to hear about ??

Cheers !
George

All sounds good, especially Looking forward to seeing the pads and gloves.

Shoe insert! Tell me more please, Mr Fox?

[windyroad]

Pads and Gloves!  Colour me intrigued.  Can I presume they going to be aero like?

[petehosk]

Shoe inserts? Does that mean that I won't get another broken toe? And I won't have to wear steel capped trainers anymore?

Sounds fascinating!

What I've been hoping for for sometime is improved wrapped around protection to the end of the bottom thumb, like Rooooot has on his gloves, but doesn't seem to be available on the general market. Had a couple of nasty hits there this season.  Any ideas / theories on this one?

At last!  Still got a black toenail from a month ago.  Would like to see this.

Toe protection is a great idea ive often wondered why it hasn't been invented already.

Points for most unusual injury.

Especially after Fred punted one into the stands.

Why?  If you have a loose bottom hand grip the end of your thumb is pointing straight at a lifting ball so it's more likely to strike you on the end of the thumb than the padding on the back of it.  I don't think my technique's that odd...!  Think that's how Roooot broke his thumb a couple of years ago (not that I'm comparing myself with him  )

Root broke his thumb like that in windows, I broke my thumb like that in nets and felix too. Not very unusual!

GM's 909 glove has the 'Joe Root thumb'

Looking forward to the floppy guards George, has much changed since we discussed them early Summer?

Rising off a length I take it?

Bat range should be called Fox-Pack looking forward to pads as have always wanted them but went with Aero instead so keen to try cheaper fox ones first
