Tom - How come no one at essex uses your lids ?

It seems like someone from most counties has one apart from my boys :)

They'd want racing stripes and flames all over the lid.

8th over: England 24-1 (Trott 9, Taylor 0) The new batsman is the debutant James Taylor. He is tiny – he looks like a jockey – has a Kumar Sangakkara-style helmet, and is possibly the most talked-about young English batsman since Ian Bell. He digs out a decent yorker second ball. "I wouldn't worry about Colm," says Tom Cochrane, "he's probably just pissed and knows not what he says."

Tom - you should email the guardian - rob.smyth@guardian.co.uk and tell them about the lid!

11.40am Since you asked, here's a bit more information on James Taylor's helmet, from Tom Milsom of Ayrtek. "We have supplied a fair few county pros and international players with helmets this year due to an increased awareness of injuries within the game. We are a UK based company (in Bristol) that has innovated the cricket helmet design to make it safer, stronger and lighter. The helmets that the professionals are wearing are made from carbon fibre and Kevlar and feature our unique liner that is inflated and deflated via the buttons you see on the rear of the helmets. With a new range due for launch in September were experiencing an increased demand for the product." We've been sent cake and gin of late, but it'd probably be pushing it to ask for a helmet for my nephew, wouldn't it. But generally we have no dignity here on the OBO, so feel free to send absolutely anything in and we will contrive to publicise it.


11.52am "Those Ayrtek lids look pretty nice," says Harry Tuttle. "Get some office freebies, Rob. Promise to give them away in a competition, but then 'forget', leave them in a cupboard for a few months and then snaffle them out in a rucksack."

haha glad to see everyone's perception changing from the cycling helmet comments....when you explain they are designed with deflection in mind rather than absorption it does seem to help!

Managed to snap this one when in the waiting room at the dentist (thankfully they had wifi + SkyGo on my phone :) )


Would much rather have seen him doing this though......maybe next time! :D

20th over of 42: England 86-2 (Trott 33, Morgan 33) Morgan opens the face and edges Cusack for four to end an otherwise quiet over. "The Ayrteks do indeed look nice, but surely the key test for any helmet is 'could you imagine Brian Close in it?'" says Robin Hazlehurst. "In which case the prize in your competition would still have to the same old polishing cloth for a top-notch shiny dome. Of course you could snaffle the helmets for prizes just in case Mr Close eventually turns out to be a wearer, and then lend them to yourselves, nephews etc in the meantime."

Shame Bairstow and Onions arent in the team as they would have plenty to compare the chrome dome too then!
