not if you have paid for it...sponsorship is when the brand gives you products to represent them when playing games etc as they feel you will uphold their brand name in a positive light/manner.

Discount is what is offered as an incentive to get you to buy their products

Make sense mate.

Thanks!

so I get 30-60% off some companies becasuse I play county, does this mean that im part sponsored? or still merely a discount?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

I would list this as part sponsorship personally if you have had to prove your credentials to them to get that discount?

No wonder the quotes you got were cheaper than ours

[thebd11]

yes, I was offered some very tasty deals

First time I've seen them, but quite like them, think again they look better than any other Pakistani pads I've seen, I'd be interested in how they fit.

I know it is kinda late but here are the pictures for you;

The MB Sher pads I received have a white inside top hat, no knee cup just covered with a cheap cotton fabric. The strap (knee strap) is way to short. Front foam protection is very soft and I very much doubt serious cricketers would wear them and they feel bulky.

Gloves on the other hand are well with good protection but on the tight fitting side. (I do find the embossed MB plastic on the velcro closure is not required as it feels bulky).

All in all, they are still a few years behind their neighbours in quality and protection.

I am not sure which Bubber Sher pads you received because I haven't seen one with white hat from inside. As far foam goes I guess many other pads such as Gray Nicolls Xiphos Pro Performance have foam in them as well whereas they are being used in test cricket. I am not sure if it is cheap cotton fabric but I found it same as my Gray Nicolls Nitro 5 Star pads had.

I some what agree with you on the gloves but I don't think they are few years behind their neighbours. The reason is that if you compare older MB Malik gloves with Bubber Sher's you will find significant improvements. So they are improving and don't think they are very far behind them now. I believe you are referring to the tiger on the front. If so then yes it shouldn't be there as it is extravagant.

Another thing which comes to my mind in regards gloves is that lately we have heard mens size in Asia is basically small mens in UK so I guess tight fitting could be because of this.

Would be nice if it wasn't for the badge on the top, just looks like they are trying too hard
