Cricket appears to be the only sport where the companies refuse to sell the kit people actually want - Kookaburra are the worst offenders....GN and GM on the other hand appear to be getting the idea. It doesn't help that apart from the Blade softs the Kook range has continued to get worse - and I was a diehard kook fan too.....

There is, of course, a world of difference between cricket and the movie business . . . I suppose doing a love scene with Raquel Welch roughly corresponds to scoring a century before lunch. - Oliver Reed

Ex Lowry from gun and Moore is on here, and eh was asked why pro pads weren't availBle to the public, his reply was aloft the liens of "why on earth would we offer that, not body would buy them"

I know we are a small section of the cricketing public, but pro spec gear is what we want and like, companies refusal to sell what the internationals actually use will always baffle me.

I know this is off topic but its like I'm a goalkeeper and the gloves we get from shops is no where near the ones that Pro's use - but if they do get pro ones they sell them through the roof on the price

The only way to get Kook sausage finger gloves nowadays seems to be to keep searching 'pro players cricket' on ebay, in the hope that Lorimers has some pro issue gloves up for sale.  I did manage to pick up the pro Kahuna sausage finger gloves recently on there - far cheaper than the top end gloves retail for as well.  That's three pairs of Kook sausage finger gloves I own, which will be collector's items soon!  Admittedly one pair are nine years old though!  Also have some B3 ones, so they should all see me through...

Sponsored goalie gloves are built entirely for maximum grip rather than longevity, i can see why they would be rarely available to retail. Parents want to buy maybe a couple of pairs a season, i used to go through 3 or 4 sets a month. I'll always be thankful to Uhlsport for their support, i was only a youngster at a league 2 club but they kept throwing gloves and me and the other goalies on the books.

I agree there - I got a pair of fraser forester and 2 x pairs of mignolets and they are different class but I'm sponsored by a brand called RK1 and there better than any other glove I have used in my whole career and they are only £20 each aha
