So why are Gayle, Kohli, Buttler etc. not sharing the love?

Probably for the same kind of reasons you won't see Yohan Blake/Tyson Gay/David Rudisha using Boost shoes either. Can see pros using them for training but doubt they'll ever see match use.

Spike plate is a neat idea, not buying into the Boost hype though, particularly for cricket - that much cushioning just isn't necessary on a grass surface. Be interested to see how people find the grip on a wet amateur ground! How long are the spikes @ItsJustCricket ?

A wet sheffield outfield still covered in wet grass cuttings is different grass from a firm first class outfield ... These would clog within minutes

Erm, the T20 World Cup isn't being played in Sheffield? It would be funny if it was.

Hmm..the idea is actually quite compelling imo. I think Chris mentioned it's his shoe, so maybe after a few games we get another review. Let's not create a controversy before then !

I wasn't suggesting they weren't any good. Was simply pointing out that the pros didn't appear to be wearing them (yet?).

The Currans are both wearing a plain white version of the Adidas Vector. Anyone else seen these?
