@rich041187 what is the GN bat mate?
And if either of those Blank Bats need a new home I think I know a lad who'd be keen...  ;)

The GN bat is actually a current England ODI player's old bat which I applied my old gn millennium stickers on. It's a hunts county which he used when sponsored by them (who's got their quiz hat on). It's unreal for a light bat.
The Aldred iv only just started using, lovely shape (gold sov) and the response is awesome. Could become a new favourite - and an afternoon spent in Pauls garage workshop comes highly recommended.

Big change from last year for me. When I get all the gear together, I shall post up the pictures. As some of the kit is yet to arrive! :D

Bats

2 x SS Maximus                                                     (2.9 & 2.10)
B3 Crown in a modified zizi profile                                    (2.11)
B3 (50% off bargain) Brendan McCullum replica              (~2.13)
SS Darren Bravo players bat                                            (2.10)
Puma Cobalt 6000                                                          (2.10)
GM Six6 Original                                                       (2.10 1/2)
GM Icon Original LE                                                          (2.9)
GM Hero Original                                                            (2.11)


I don't think i've got too much stuff; bats wise I'm a bit of a hoarder, but pads and gloves are only in multiples due to how quickly i sweat through each pair. For a student, I reckon I have just the right amount of kit to get me through... maybe... half a season??  :o :D

@JG sounds a nice collection - appreciate you are yet to receive but could you share some info on the b3 McCullum replica please

After exchanging a couple of emails with a few pictures of McCullums bat from all sorts of angles trying to get the optimum for the mapping, Streaky sent me this rendition of what was depicted. I thought it would be rather suiting to change from a Warner replica or Pepsi and I already own a zizi variant so I thought... why not!  :D



The main issue was with the image quality to get a properly refined shape and profile etc. But i'm quite happy with how it would look, just going to add a tiny bit more to the toe and then it will be complete (this will be the only adjustment from the original above)

Here we go, all done for kit purchasing for the winter apart from a new set of spikes to come.
Assorted kit first:
2xMasuri, both titanium grilles, one old one for nets with a tripod mount expoxied in the top and one newer one for games.
Puma Flextechs, say what you want but they're great pads ;)
Puma Evopower SE gloves and last season's Red Inks as spares
P2 Strippers
Red Ink keeping gloves for the occasions I do keep, matching pads are in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere!
Don't have a dog so threw in the cricket ball cushion my sister made me for Christmas.

Bats:
Homemade eyein bat, was once an MSR that the toe got smashed into pieces
Spares/lendout bats:
Spyder Custom I got cheap off here, not in the best nick but pretty good bat!
Phoenix Black (local shop brand, Hunts made I'm pretty sure, came back from a refurb with no stickers so gained NB ones. Good bat but too much concaving and damage so retired.)
Assorted bats for match use:
MMi3 for slogging, rechristened the Mong
B3 DB1 butterfly, 2.10 (been my indoor bat this winter)
Red Ink X1 custom, 2.10.5
Aldred Silver Sovereign butterfly1, 2.11
Mongoose Rebel Prime, 2.8.5

Slazenger Abdo proguard
Kookaburra Shorts/ Integral thigh pads
