Some youth sized pads from Ayrtek - top quality protection, look great, fit perfectly and cost about £20 from memory - stock clearance.

Picked up my daughter a 2nd hand 54-58cm GM pro helmet yesterday from eBay for £1.20. Its in good condition too. It fits my bald nut as well. Collected it from up the road so no postage either.

Biggest bargain, was a GN 500 or something
Paid 20 quid from a lad who said it was too heavy for him,(I think it's about 2.7!)
I scored 96not out first time I used it, and hit the ball harder and further than I've done with any other bat.
I still have it,(must be 27yrs old now) and it still pings from every inch
You can't get willow like that anymore

My 100 quid grade two ace runs it a close second

The GN I had was off a lad at earby Dave
Can't remember his name,was it Tilly ?

Ace bats were cracking bats
He knew what he was doing, and his willow was top stuff

I bought a Canterbury 500 from a local market for £30, about a year after they came out. Best bat I've ever used

Tilly aye Paul tilbury was a quality player could have gone good things in cricket bar his drinking.

Aye Alf was a top man made some lovely bats if we ever have a net will let you use it lovely bat still

A brand new Slazenger SX elite pro that I got off eBay for £21. Pinged like mad before I even knocked it in, went back and bought the other 7 for £18 each and sold them on for a profit. Scored my first and only ton so far with the one I had.

None of my stuff was a bargain, as collectively it just forms part of the overall spend...

Mine has to be a CJI bat, pads and gloves combo that I got for £59. Hit my first ton with it. Still got the bat. I'm going to refurb it for display only purposes due to a large crack in it now.
