The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

The more I see, the more  I like. I found it whilst looking for M&H original (old version) photos. Found that the photo is from 2009

I think you'd notice anyone trying to pass that off as something else! Very neat idea.

Grant bats were ran by a bloke in Hampshire if I remember correctly.

Is the wood actually removed from the back of the bat ala GN Scoop or are they just very clever 3D labels? Looking really funky.
