Morning all, during my washed out afternoon yesterday I visited Optimum Cricket up here in Newcastle and had a chat with the owner. It's the brand owned by Just Sport for any local types. They've just started out as a brand, softs, bats and more made in Meerut. I picked up 3 or 4 bats, found one with a high middle they picked up lovely and looked fantastic. The softs looked to be good quality, and crucially for a man with short legs like myself they do a small mens size as well. Anyway, thought I'd let you know about this because:
