Whose bought the least??
« on: April 29, 2016, 04:39:36 PM »
So this forum is infamous for making member buy serious amounts of willow along with various amounts of extra very necessary protection and other bits and bobs.

But which heathens have managed to break this forum curse and purchase very little over the winter months? Has anyone actually bought no kit since last season? Who hasn't bought any new kit for longer.

I'll open up the confessions and say that in the last 12 months I have only bought 1 pair of trousers, batting shorts and 2 grips.

I know I should have a black cross struck through my forum membership!

I have bought more kit this winter than in my whole life. Argh.

List of shame...
Whites
Two pairs of trousers, one jumper and some socks.

Spikes
3 pairs: New balance, Nike and Asics

Pads
2 pairs: GM LE and SG Hilite

Gloves
5 pairs: blank bats, GM LEs and 3 SG Hilight

Bats
Blank bats pro
2 slazengers

Bags
1 SG duffle
2 gm bat sleeves


Even with some selling I still have much more kit than I would like. Frankly given how little I will play it is a disaster!

Worse than that, you'll be killed by a Sports Direct Slazenger Panther special- the one with the painted face and polyfilla for a spine!

I thought I didn't buy any kit when seeing this, then I actually looked at my kit
Over the winter I bought a helmet and nek-tek from @Ayrtek, a supernova duffle, two pairs of inners, a bat, keeping inners, keeping pads and still need some keeping gloves! Also I purchased a full set of new whites
Still better than most on here (looking at you @WalkingWicket37)

I've only brought a bag, pads and 1 bat which is regrettably not a forum sponsor :( and with a loft find CJI fatso, I only have a grand total of 2 bats unlike the forum standard 8 or 9

You must have massive thighs!  :D am I in a minority in only owning the one pair or thigh guards?

Nope,  I don't have one at all but if @WalkingWicket37 you feel like you need to sell one,  I'd be interested :D

Until midday, I hadn't bought a thing.
I hadn't picked up a bat either.
Since then, I've got
sl22 boost- full review to come after tomorrow's game. 1st impressions are OMFG the are the most comfortable cricket shoe I've ever worn.
Kookaburra under garment- £15 quid and as good as Nike etc
A grip that on closer inspection matches and the Boost shoes. That's atleast a 50p fine tomorrow
And a GM boxer with pouch that now I've had a bat and a bowl I didn't need as I found the Aero one I currently own.
Will try and off load this to a teammate tomorrow.

I had a good day of selling to team mates already. 909 GM pads and 2015 (red) Vector shoes and GM 808 gloves for the good price of £80
