With an email being sent out from my cricket club this morning saying nets start next week, I thought I had better get my kit ready for the coming season which naturally, led to getting everything out in the garden for a photo shoot for the forum!
Having ran my own little side business for a number of years, I made a decision at the end of last season to treat myself to a number of items that in the past, I perhaps would not have used.
My kit for the coming season:
Bats- Hell4Leather - MB Profile Pro Grade
- Hell4Leather - Butterfly
- 2 x Slazenger / FC Sondhi bats (I think we have heard enough about those bats for one week!)
SoftsHaving worked with a number of manufacturers in India / Pakistan over the last 3 years, I built up a handy little book of contacts and when one of them got back in touch to update me on their cricket ball manufacturing capabilities, conversation progressed onto me making an order for some plain softs. The pads and gloves feel fantastic and I was particularly impressed with some of the finer detailing that I had requested.
I also have a set of my NHS gloves leftover which are in the bag for their second season, but I am yet to be be brave enough to wear them onto the field.
LuggageAfter using a traditional duffle bag for a number of seasons, I wanted to treat myself to a coffin. Facebook marketplace turned out to be a god send as I managed to find a full touring coffin, complete with wheels and 3 bat slots, all for under 3 figures.
All in all, I have far too much kit for a bloke who is average at best but I cannot wait to get going this year.
Enjoy!
