What Are You Hoping for Out of Santa's Sack this year?

Preferably cricketing related, but I suppose we could also hear about your desired PlayStations and tricycles.

I've got some super-duper softs in the pipeline and also awaiting a fabled superlight but rather large bat. Both of which will make me a 'proppa batta'. In other news, I am hoping for a Practice Chanter so I can start to learn the bagpipes.

Managed to pick up some legend pads and prestige gloves from vitas which will fill my stocking and some tight kook batting shorts to accentuate my features

The missus asked me what I wanted and as I knew the amount she spent on me would be the amount I would have to spend on her I selected the cheapest bat available from MSR.
There is a 20% sale at MSR currrently so including delivery it cost £22.50.
I thought it would be alright if anyone comes to nets with Slazenger balls.

your going to struggle getting a new Chanel Dress, a pair of louboutins and a Gucci handbag for £2250, as you do know that's what she really wants.  After 25 years of marriage I have learnt that when see says "I don't want anything for Christmas"  she REALLY means "Buy me something nice for Christmas".

I've pretty much bought all my new kit, I don't trust my family to buy me the right things.

The only thing I asked for were some cheap(ish) keeping gloves for nets/practice.

It's a shame the new season stuff doesn't come out a little earlier or at least at the same time.

She's getting me a new folding DIY workbench for my refurbs, and a GoPro copy so I can view my ineptitude in the nets first hand.
