The “guilty pleasures” thread might go some way to explain the lack of female contributors 😉

Enjoyed reading this one, when I was looking to scratch the Laminate itch.

Overs the years I think it has actually been the general annual threads that I have enjoyed - "Your **** kit" or "Your **** Season". Seeing everyone's kit or reading how everyone's got on at the weekend.

The forum trend of turning every thread into an England selection debate always tickles me.

I joined the forum after years out of cricket working abroad, so it really opened my eyes as to what was out there in terms of kit.

The forum even helped me find my current club. Thanks @Canners for that!

For me it's been looking through the earlier threads from batmakers to pick up advice and tips. There doesn't seem to be hardly any now, which is a shame as they were really educational.

I also like seeing people's efforts on the batmaking and refurbing side, these are great to see.

Having only been on the forum for a couple of years I missed a lot of what has been mentioned in the previous posts, but all sounds very entertaining! 😆

Oooh what about Pete Hosk's guide to his massive bat collection? That was an awesome thread.

A few years ago was a lot better as there were forum sponsors who contributed and a lot of characters on here as well. Miss my debates with a chap called fast Eddie.

Old seasons kit treads always draw me in.

We used to have meet ups and even matches as a forum side and they were always great even the lead up threads were great

"Fast Eddie" hahaha

The forum needs a new stig. The original must be too old for this, plus no way could he play the funky shots modern players play. 😂

^ Are there any CBF members who are pro/international players? They all claim to be big bat collectors but they don't want to "talk about bats"? Brats! :D

Very tenuous connection but a friend of an old friend grew up near Gary Ballance's family and apparently he's an absolute kit badger. Mountains of stuff stashed away at his family's home.

Really?

I'd be happy to help Ballance's family with that stash. I will pay for the shipping. Hook me up, bruh. :D
