Thanks for the comments guys, I envy all batmakers, because they get to do this for a living! Couldn't imagine a better job . . . except maybe Cheryl Cole's dressing room assistant! :)

Crobbo I wont be using it myself mate, might keep it for sentimental reasons

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.

What weight did it end up as looks extremely smart for an early attempt
