Not that big, considering their stock stickers and stamp don't look dwarfed.

The angle accentuates it more too.

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.

It looks big to be honest. I was watching the game and it did look massive for its weight..

He's gone from being a useful swing bowler, into a batting all rounder. Top effort by Franklin to have the hunger to develop his game.

One of the most improved player in cricket I have seen is Hashim Amla, when he started he wasn't that good but now he is like Bradman of South Africa LOL

He has most definitely improved his game, especially on the batting side of things!

Well, I have one of his and it is around 2'9 in weight and is pretty large....I would say edges are 35-40mm.
Can't find the digital scales so only using older less accurate ones!
