Also £175 for a pair of pro pads... I remember when they were £40! Now I appreciate prices in retailers will be a bit less. But who is going to buy pads for that sort of money?

This just has me reminiscing about the good old days of the early 2000s. Remember when Kookaburra made nice bats! Once paid £100 for a grainy stunning long blade Big Kahuna, still one of the best bats I've ever owned.

Also what is it with Kookaburra and flat fronted pads? They are the only major brand that have there top end pads that way.

The range shouldn't be on there web yet  :D

If you look at the pads, they've made quite a change to the back and sides. Instep now all the way down , and the side walls are incredibly bulky and heavy

Is that what they're telling retailers?

They announced the new range via email yesterday. Good way to get the direct pre-orders in.

Retail prices will no doubt be a little less but £400 for a G2 and £275 for top of the range softs or £200 for mid range softs. Maybe time to start supporting the smaller brands again??

No doubt though like everything if you like your brand names the prices are going to be high compared to a few years back but I guess that’s just the times we live in.

On to this new look stuff decent colour ways but looks like the same kit in new colour ways

Second that. Take my money if the Diablo came back.

They would make so much money if they did the carbon backed bats again as a limited run.

I think the Aus Beast stickers are great this year... Is the UK range the same, @Six Sixes Cricket ?

My real pet peeve about this range is the name! So lazy...
GM Aura bat range... 2015 ish?
Hunts County Aura range... 2016 ish?

Serious Cricket put out their reviews of the new Kookaburra kit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiKsa0py0tQ

Amazed they managed to identify any differences in the bat profiles, to be honest.  :D :D :D

I wonder what’s causes those changes 🤦‍♂️😂
