So far at the moment ive only got some Self amalgamating tape, a grip cone and a GM grip applicator (only works for new grips without holes).

What else have you all got in your bag for that quick fix on match day?

I was thinking some firbe glass tape and bat wax...

Think bat tape for your grips if you use it.

Thats what the self amalgamating tape is for (cheap gripgrip, if you wish) works the exact same.

Just to save on space (and money) a carrier bag for quick grip replacement, haven't used anything easier!

A couple of spare grips, a grip cone and some fibreglass tape is all I need for running repairs on match day.

Incidentally, I have more tape and supports to repair myself than I do for my kit...  :-[

I don't play test cricket. And I really can't see what would happen to my bat in 46 overs that would mean I need to do running repairs.


I tend to check the grips as I pack my bag, if it's worn it's replaced well before its gonna rip.

If I get a crack in the middle I'm not gonna stand there taping it up, I'll just call for the spare bat and repair it properly later.


Again stuff like grip grip and scuffs are applied well before I set off to a game, so I'm not sure why I'd ever need them in my kit bag.



3x bats ready to use is what I can, if I go through all 3 in one game it's been a strange day.

Spare grips, which tend to get nicked by team mates, so I'll stop doing that...

Fibreglass tape, scissors, bat cone, bat wax, small towel/flannel (for rain days)

I somehow have 3 spare bat grips in my bag despite having nothing to put them on with and no idea how to use a bag/cone!

I have fibreglass tape, a grip cone and spare spikes just in case. There's also usually some ibuprofen hanging around in case I need it.

Simple running repairs for me - knee brace (torn acl), ankle support (repaired Achilles), hamstring support just I'm case (see damaged ankle for running theme). Oh and a beanie for games in April / may / sept.

Bat wise I'm with smiley - if I break 2 bats in a game then I've batted way longer than normal

Nothing really.. Maybe spare studs, since I play astro. Bat tape, grips etc are in my practice bag, 3 bats for a match, as @smiley792 said, would be a strange day if they all snapped.

And for Preseason and finals I bring handwarmer like the one NFL quarterbacks use.. It's chilly in Denmark in April.

Always carry a medic bag with kinesiotape, moulds for snapped fingers, bandaid, painkillers, and regular farmaceudicals. Oh, and acupuncture needles..
