My father is 67 (I think) and has not only decided to buy a new Fearnley Bat but also wants a pair of pads for xmas. Since it's more about kid spending (xmas that is),we don't tend to spend much on each other but I wondered what people recommended for around the �30 mark. He's got short legs, so Youth would be fine.

He'd also like to try them on first, so something he can go to a shop and ask for. Any thoughts?

Have you tried cricketsupplies? They usually have good youth size stuff

I think its fantastic that your Dad is buying a set of pads at 67.
I bloody hope that im doing the same thing when im his age!

I dragged him out of retirement about 7 years ago to play 3rd team and he scored 400+ runs @ 40 odd. Umpires mainly nowadays but like a lot of old fellas has the technique to stay in and nudge it around when he does play. I think he's running an over 40's team next season on sundays, so hence the interest in new cricket gear!

top effort!

Here's a photo of an 83 year old Dennis Rolph and 11 year old Dan Hampton, just after they batted together at Beaconsfield for Marlow:-

Taken approx 5/6 years ago if memory serves me.

That kid must have still been a glint in his father's eye when the old boy's GM bat was new.

Must be a bucks thing, cant remember but there was an old boy at Kimble who played in his eighties too may have been charlie?

and the rest - that GM Maestro has seen good service since I've known him and that's 30 years +.
