My kit for 2016
About a year ago after a 15 year break from cricket I joined the forum and a few weeks later I bought some kit - lightweight own brand gloves and pads from Vinay at VKS, a great duffel from Gary at B&S, and a V1200 Fusion from Kevin at Sports Direct (they hand pick all their bats don't you know 😉)
So this is what I had for the start of last season.
Fast forward a year and mainly due to this forum I have developed a serious kit addiction - the first thing a new joiner should see when they sign up is a warning -
This forum may cause serious harm to your bank balance.
First up the bats:B3 3 stripe TKC 2.12
Aldred Spectre Players 2.10
Bradbury Ex-pro bat 2.10
H4L Tempo MK2 2.9
B3 2 stripe (shape 11) 2.8
Haven't decided yet which will be my match bat - I will probably just chose one when I see the track and depending how I feel that day.
Softs and accessoriesAldred pads and gloves - for match
P2 Aeros
VKS ultralight OSM pads and gloves - for nets
GN Supernova duffel (match)
B&S Assegai duffel (nets)
GM Pro Select helmet
NB4030 spikes
Not bad for a bowler...........pity no one else at my club is a kit badger so the only comments I get are - why have you got so many bats - they are just so uneducated!
