It was an EU2016 directive, that a clown in hampshire trading standards decided all cricket gears were ppe, so needed testing. He Didn't worry too much about his kids using non tested kit tho
And yes, i believe once tested, if you change the colourway then they need testing again.

I appreciate people have a job to do but honestly.... that's just ridiculous... if this catches on watch brands reduce their range, and I wouldn't blame them...

I guess it is taking a punt on other companies being unable to sell softs next season and therefore gaining a huge increase in market share

If a compromise solution is found and it turns out he wasted his money, his video on the subject would be one that is actually worth watching

Is it possible for a man to melt his own head with the volume of steam coming out his ears 😂

Aldred pretty much assumed he would be one of the few players left

During an energy crisis, it could probably heat ever every home in Derbyshire!

On a practical level, my assumption is that it could only be enforced against retailers in this country so wouldn't apply to customers importing softs from outside the UK which would be a nonsensical outcome

Aldred saying it’s just him and chase and no one else can

Doesn’t seem to be any clear answer
What’s the reality ?

trading standards don’t they have better things to do than go find companies selling batting softs ?

Not in Bristol no!

What’s the benefit to the scoop? Fast bat speed?

Had the original Megapower as a kid, was pretty much the same as this from memory. Loved that bat!

Something different for marketing purposes?! 😆 The idea of the original scoop was to distribute weight to the edges i think. Which at the time, was pretty radical! The scoop was obviously iconic, as was the Dynadrive too top a lesser extent i suppose.

Same - great bat. However, sad memories - an older brother 'borrowed' it and mysteriously... It never came home.

Has any had sight of the Gray Nicolls Coach Bag. It says that it can fit multiple catching ramps; now the only catching ramp I know and have personally is a Katcher Ramp.

The bag is advertised with a width and depth of 35x35 cms. But a Katchet is advertised as being 45cms wide. So this would be too big for the bag.

My question really is, does it fit a Katchet and are the dimensions of the bag incorrect?
