Alright so I had also bought pads from MB factory. To be honest I was quite impressed with the quality of pads. They are very well constructed and MB soft making skill looked very good. The outer leather seems to be of very good quality whereas the top hat from inside has leather as well. When wore they are very comfortable and feels very good. Designwise they are quite similar to SP pads. It's just there semi cricle faced downwards whereas this faces upward.

Feel free to ask any question you have.

Enjoy the pictures;

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.

Mike, hopefully in next day or two I will post few pictures for you in which I would be wearing the pads so you can get a picture of these pads fitting.

Yes by far they are best Pakistani pads. Top of the line AM pads, CA 12000 Plus and AS V3 all three are of similar design and are carbon copy of each other.

I just have one complain regarding Pakistani pads and it's that they haven't introduced knee roll yet. It's not that major but certainly a good thing to have in pads.

To be honest, it is as good as them. Other pads which I have are GN Nitro 5 Star, CA 12000 Plus (my brothers) and GM Original LE. So if I compare the pads with those pads as those are the ones I have used then I would say the pads are better than GN Nitro 5 Star and CA 12000 Plus. They are obviously not as good as GM Original LE but for these MB to be as good as them needs to improve slightly which would be if they introduce knee roll, make it full leather interior etc.

As far gloves go I would say they are best Pakistani gloves and I have experience all Pakistani brands gloves and these are by far the best among Pakistani. If I compare them with SS, Newbery and GM then I would say these are not that bad. Again if they introduce pittard palm then they could compete with leading gloves makers.

Bat, I haven't used it yet so I really can't comment. But overall I was very impressed with its craftsmanship and batmaking skills. Again I would say it is as good as the best ones if not then the best. I have used MB Malik Bubber Sher and it was lovely piece as well.

Hopefully in next day or two I will upload pictures which compares both MB Malik Bubber Shers (LE and non-LE)

Is discount and sponsorship same thing? I basically have everything of MB (bat, pads, gloves, bag, thigh guard and elbow guard) so does it mean I am sponsored?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

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
