So who will be using a box from last season or older?

If there�s one thing you need new each season it�s a box for the Crown Jewels.

But am I in the minority.

Not I, I�ve got a lovely new D3O one 👌

Got the new Ayrtek one which is great protection and built to last! Would like like to see a cooling gel pack incorporated into the inner....may end up looking like a cod piece though!

I have been using the same box for more than 10 years.

Writing that down makes me feel a little sick

New Ayrtek one for me this year.

Mines over 10 years old and going strong.

Definitely sounds gross but i got one probably square on flush in the jewels last season and it did me proud!

Not got one, never had one, not planning to get one. Play straight.

You are brave!!

I�ve got a teammate who is nearly thirty and still uses his first box from playing under 11�s!! 😂😂 I�m using a lovely new Ayrtek one myself

In 30 odd years of playing (at times at a high level too) I've only been hit once, that way by a slow bowler so not too bad. I like to think I'm technically quite solid and I don't like the thought of having to run with one in. It's also why I don't wear a thigh pad or helmet.

Judging by this thread @Ayrtek Cricket is retiring on the profits from new box sales this year!! 😉

Modern days thigh pads are a magnet for caught short leg off inside edges, the ball seems to ballon off them like its supercharged

Older members of the forum have have used a wet towel which would surely kill the ball dead, and the thigh bone

As for batting without a box, got hit twice in the same innings and was poleaxe for a couple of overs, without one on I dread to think...

Can�t believe I am admitting this but my box is about 20 yrs old to me and was pinched from m school kit bag but the 3/4 times it�s been required it�s done it�s job

Mines probably over 20 years old only been hit a couple of times can't be bothered with a thigh pad due to the bulk used to wear one on the outside of the trousers but it was a magnet for comments from the opposition
