Ahhh what about blackers tom? not got his coloured goose pads yet, batted very well yesterday though, must be pleased with him! Shame symonds isn't firing yet!!!

Yep, no coloured pads as he was a late addition to the roster.

Very pleased with Blackwell, Allenby, Vaas and Gareth Andrew all have played well in the T20's

Yeah those 3 gareth andrew sixes must have done quite a bit!!

Didnt know vaas was signed up!

Yeah, someone in our seconds watched Andrew on sky and his wife asked how he was hitting it so well. He said about the bat and she told him that he should get one. They went and got one the day after! Waiting to nab it for a net session now!!

You should try and get a Somerset player, down on those pitches and Taunton. Jos Buttler would be a good bet as it would be good to get a keeper bat, even though you don't do keeping kit yet.

It's been said that at the same age Jos Butler is showing more ability than Kieswetter with both bat and gloves.....he certainly looked decent when i had a bowl at him

Fair play to mongoose - in lots of shops, getting good exposure and seem to be settling into the market well, i thought they were destined to go down the same road as Woodworm but i'm more than happy to say that it looks like i was wrong.

Yeah well i'm a very very satisfied customer with my cor3, and its gone down a storm in my club, all the talk is about my goose! "get the goose out", "can i use the goose" "is the goose coming out today" etc etc and its only the cor3! when i start earning a bit more money i'm sure i'll get myself a mmi to have a bash with! And imagine the rection to that...
Lots of arguements and controversy within mine and im sure your clubs as to pros and cons of the mmi, which i think its healthy even if not all agree with it being good, as atleast everyone has recognised them and is talking about them!!
Keep up the good work!
Will be even more pleased when i get myself some cor3 gloves

any news on that dleivery tom?? Sorry to be pushy, just got a sale depending on these gloves (selling old ones and getting these) but i suppose if they arent ready they aren't ready

!!

I'm probably in the minority here but I think the softs only look ok. I'm sure the quality is top notch but I just expected so much more. Produce a revolutionary bat and it sets a benchmark for the softs to follow. Surely something ultra light tendulkar style was the order of the day - in keeping with T20. Not sure what could be done with gloves but I feel it's missed a trick.

I dunno, i think they look good, which is a lot of what people care about!! I dont think there are many things to do with softs to radicalise them, and unlike bats radical softs would be much harder to prove they are worth it! As in bats if its more likely your going to hit a six its a massive thing, if its more like to rebound less off yours pads no-one gives much of a crap in comparison! Not many designs can be done that are truely radical, a much harder area to crack as less to play with, i'm sure they prove us wrong sometime in the future, but aslong as they look good and quality is high then people will want them to join the revolution!!!

I agree with Peplow there's not much that can be done, well there probably is but getting it out there and getting people using it, is a different matter! Take Aero as a example good products, revolutionary but they don't appeal to enough people! I'm sure Aero have sold a lot of products this is not a dig at them at all but they aren't one of the brands you'd expect to go out and see regularly!

peplow · « **Reply #85 on:** June 15, 2010, 02:42:03 PM »

I think for someone to use something radical there needs to be enough evidence that its going to make a big difference and a difference that its worth taking a punt on.

Aero is revolutionary as outlaw said but i wouldnt expect to see them as people think that the disadvantages of looking different and it not being traditional outweighs the advantages of the pads technology and lightness etc.

And imo thats difficult to overcome with softs, as the advantages will be very hard to make so good and worth having (as softs arent that vital to people, not as vital bats!) that they will be taken over the look of the pad.

However i do think aero miss out with not having bats, as many people see the complete package and internationals using all of them as a plus. Aero were much more talked about when tait and malinga etc used them.... this is something mongoose will have the advantage on, with established bats being used to good effect at the moment!

Just my thoughts.

peplow · « **Reply #86 on:** June 15, 2010, 02:45:21 PM »

If aero were to create a pad with traditional looks and more traidtional materials without any loss in tachnology (and they were reasonably priced) and the technological advances were still pushed then i think they'd be more of a hit with people....

And people may reply with "mmi bat is very radical and untraditional" but this is my point, the mmi is all about hitting harder and further, a very important attribute and seen as worth taking a punt on looking different for that advantage as its the most major part of cricket, much more than pad and glove attributes!

Outlaw · « **Reply #87 on:** June 15, 2010, 02:47:52 PM »

Yeah I think Mongoose have hit the nail on the head with sponsorships meaning they're a lot more talked about! Aero never had anyone really high profile or any serious batsman! And I think most batsman want softs that do the job but also look the part not a lot of people are keen on the Aero looks, Mongoose for me have created something modern and also good looking complements the bats well and people will buy it!

peplow · « **Reply #88 on:** June 15, 2010, 03:51:52 PM »

Agreed!

Would be interested to see what they've got in the pipeline though, as i reckon something mega radical is coming!!

Mongoose gear for sale at cricket direct. First thoughts WTF! �55 for a pair of gloves? Talk about a blatant attempt at ripping people off. I think the guys at mongoose think they can compete with the likes of Kookaburra and GM and charge us top prices. Outrageous.
