i know someone who plays sydney first grade with steve smith and dave warner! and he asked them everything! and he also gets whatever stickers he wants like bought off the players, he offered me some kahuna ones some ignite and evo ones the other day and even offered me so gm flares! as most players in aus use impala.

oh and boys! our bats off the shelf are absolute (No Swearing Please) compared to over here when i went to GCCC the kooks and GN and puma's where amazing compared to home they picked up so much better and where massive for their weight! not sure why they just where.

the impalas and bradburys they had where awesome, impala's felt like tree trunks on a stick and the handle is pretty thin but the bats are massive and pick up so good, i want to get one before i come back just cant justify $700 =400 poundish

yeh only phil hughes i kno off in the aussie team uses d n p but yeh apprently all the SA use D&P especially JP duminy as he is loyal apparently and ab not sure about the others tho

yeh mate i am working on getting a load off him im trying ot get some 2010 kook and some evo's first, players get bats whereve they are in the world and use waht takes their fancy.

in the IPL bopara was using SS so was warner so its just location and how a bat feels i think

i heard that players just trade bats or give them to each other if ones likes the bat! i reckon this happened in india coz warners bat looks well used and i reckon he just traded it with a indian in the team for a new gray nicolls or whatever bat he was using!

some players just look right with their kit. Duminy really suits the GN gear, just like Hughes with kook

nope free to watch all the aussie games are on normal tv, domestic is ony austar(sky) i said why is that too someone and apprently they tried too a few years ago but it gives australia its identity or some crap and there was a national outrage as the family sit around the tv and watch cricket no matter if they have austar or some crap! its awesome tho i wish england did it

Not likely Middler - the counties want the cash and have an agreement with sky until the end of the next Ashes series, by which time they will have lobbied the incumbent government to change the TV rights rules back.

very depressing for those of us with poor man's telly!

if cricket is shown on bbc, channel 4, channel  5 etc. the ecb will lose around £100 million from sky, meaning a whole load of money is lost in county cricket and club level cricket. they reckon that if this happens then county cricket might not survive past 2013....
