Interesting that people need to have all matching kit. Is it that important?

I'm slightly like that although currently none of my kit matches. Have Newbery gt pads that are still like new. Have a pair of Salix pod blacks and h4l nv classics to go with my salix pod and h4l nv bats. However, both bats now not my match bat as my gn f18 is so good. So do I get some gn gloves to match or get some h4l pads in the sale and at least have matching pads and gloves?


I reckon more people would opt for matching pads and gloves with different bat....me , however,  I'd feel better with gloves and bat that matched with different pads ( something about looking at your hands and seeing the bat and gloves matching seems better to me) .
Or you can pkay it safe and get unbranded softs or very subtle /almost unbranded softs ....hfl stuff is a good example of this ).

You have to match your kit OCD to your standard.

I always want gloves and pads to match. But I bat at no10 in our 3XI - so I would look a complete titwank if I used a matching bat too!


Most tailenders at my level don’t even know what end to hold!!

You need to get GN gloves & pads, H4L pads and Salix pads. That way you'll have 3 FKW sets  ;)

Like your thinking Unfortunately the misses would kill me if I did that!

Was thinking about this as season starts soon...

1 pair white BDM Sachin style sausage fingers (currently being borrowed by brother)
1 pair purple and white BDM Sachin style sausage fingers - my current match gloves
1 pair BOSS gloves... impulse buy but don't like colours... just waiting to donate somewhere
1 pair AM Monarch gloves - lovely soft leather but they are not sausage gloves but love the quality and soft feel of leather

Ideal gloves http://www.cricketexpress.co.nz/assets/Products/Cricket-Express/Gloves/CA/_resampled/CroppedImage590590-CroppedImage592590-SetSize592592-CA%20Gold%20Gloves.jpg

but with finger protection like the BDMS I have on every finger and also leather strip on the tips.. one can just hope and dream... I really love the soft leather fee of the Pakistani gloves...

Got 3 pairs in my bag, had 2-3 older pairs but gave them away or threw them in the team kit bag.

1 Woodstock Platinum White
1 Newbery SPS
1 Cicada Not sure of the model got them on eBay but great value for 30 quid.

Tend to wear the PSP's for nearly everything, and occasionally give the others a run out to wear them in/out of guilt for owning more gear than I need.
