That colourway is in the UK 2018 range, but only on an entry level glove with a square cuff. I assume these are either Aus range gloves or unique to him.

That style of inner has been in the range previously as predator (continues as predator for 2018) and before that omega xrd. The backhand fit is more like that of a golf glove. Cotton and Chamois inners are both still available

250AUD seems a lot. But when you consider the RRP of the GN Predator 3 LE this year was £180 (293AUD for our Aussie friends)

Seems quite good value...  :D

I hear GN Legend 2018 has an RRP of £999.99 (1629 AUD). Getting a bit daft now?

Yes, Legend is an RRP of £1000 - although the Kronus, endorsed by Hales, has their top end bat priced at an RRP of £600. I haven't seen the range but assume they're pushing the Legend as some ultra premium bat. The new Scoop and Pro Performance ranges also have an RRP of £600, so the Legend is the outlier.

There are 4 pairs of gloves with an RRP of £99.99 or higher and a pair of Keeping Gloves at £250. Only a month or so till we all get to see the final range.

Wow... 250 quid for a pair of keeping gloves makes $250au seem cheap !

Is it though? 10 years ago, when £300 would buy you a top, top end bat, did we just cut down all the Willow trees and forget to plant more?

I get the feeling English Willow is in short supply for mainly the same reasons Brent Crude is in short supply. Until the Saudi's suddenly find a couple of billion barrels under a bush and flood the market with them, cutting the price in half over the space of a year...

They put on twitter to watch out for James hildreths bat, I managed to get his screen shot, certainly different, I know he used the scoop when it came back but this pushes those boundaries
