We already have one big name, Ebony-Jewel Cora-Lee Camellia Rosamond Rainford-Brent. Could do with another though!

If you get a few more you can put it on your Twitter / Webpage

"Mongoose, where all the Big name Cricketers go for there bats"

In fact do it anyways

I got AOC yesterday. I dont think it is a guide to be honest, it seemed like a glorified brochure for Serious Cricket to me. There is certainly nothing other than pis that we are already familiar with. Bit disappointed!

What do you mean disappointed check out page 42 of the guide

Just had a quick look, very pleased with the write up for the CoR3 in the 'cool stuff' section. Look forward to seeing the full reviews in March.

19th Feb for the Wisden one too.

Looking through the guide

Wavex, AVP - pretty sure it isnt a Kippax and cant find a website?

I've just picked up the guide, and the one thing that's amazed me is the high end price of gloves and pads.

I mean c'mon guys this is MENTAL!!!!!!!!!!! Who's buying gloves for �80 and pads for �125?

In my humble opinion, no softs can be worth this much, even if you are playing at a top league level. To pay over �200 for your softs is just mad. It may just be me, but I'm sure you can pick up fantastic quality gloves for �30 and pads for �40 tops?

I'm sure you'll all shoot me down in flames, but I think the spiralling price of softs has got out of control and is just silly.

By all means buy a branded bat used by some superduper international for �200 - but don't let them fleece you another �200 for protection!

I bet you are on about the Kook 1000's.

Take your pick - 17 pairs of pads above �90 and 8 pairs of gloves above �70.

I'm not tight - but I'm not stupid either!

i guess that it is all about keeping up with the jones's ... you're right though, you've really got to search for fairly priced softs. �35 is my limit, however shiny and tempting the pictures are.

there are bills to pay after all ...

FattusCattus · « **Reply #26 on:** February 06, 2010, 07:39:31 PM »

C'mon boys, who out there has spent the �200 on both softs?

leeroy_acko · « **Reply #27 on:** February 06, 2010, 08:44:50 PM »

I agree, the costs these days are mental, but then again not all cricketers spend most of their spare time on a forum discussing where to get the best deal like us lot either!

The Finisher · « **Reply #28 on:** February 06, 2010, 08:49:05 PM »

i spent just under a ton

leeroy_acko · « **Reply #29 on:** February 06, 2010, 08:50:26 PM »

I would probably spend up to �40 on gloves and �60 on pads, and I am not poor or tight either!!
