Gloves. They are pretty big and bulky.





My pads. I love them. They smell really bad because of the sweat. You can see the sweat stains in the second pic.



Massive bag. Bought it for $70 on sale. Very good buy.

Nice gloves. They look very good.

wheres the bat mate

Nice kit there, glad that we can't smell the pads though 

Alright, when I get another bat later down the track I will certainly look to buy a similar weighted bat for practise. Hopefully I can find one which won't burn a hole in my pocket.

Oh and I won't listen to the advice of those at the shop and I will do a proper knocking in job this time round

for practice it doesnt matter what the bat is, even a cheap kashmir would do the job

thats true what s79 said

If you want a practice bat it may be worthwhile asking some local bat makers (or companies) around you if they have any damaged seconds or old bats that they will sell. 

I have a plain old Salzenger which I use, got it for about £40 from a place that does bat refurbs, as someone had sent it in but never collected it, despite them calling him etc.  They leave it for 2 years, if still no contact then they sell it on to cover costs of the refurb. 

In reply to King Pietersen's mention of the ian bell style adidas sweatband, does anyone know where I can find one of those? cheers

Hi and welcome to the board.

Not exactly sure what sweat band Bell uses but I guess this is pretty close - Adidas sweatband. 
Plus you get the added bonus of the multi-coloured one as well!

Another option here - sweatbands.


Hope that helps.

Looking at a photo and I think this may be the closest match though - has the right colour logo - http://www.tennisnuts.com/ishop/677/shopscr3683.html

thanks that's great if you find any more i'd be interested to see..cheers mate

sorry also do you think you could put up the photo of bell that you saw? cheers

Here's the pic. The newitts one is probably closest to the ones the players use. Although i think players like Chris Martin just sew 2 normal wristbands together. I'm going to order one of the ones from Newitts i think, cheers for the link A_A.

cheers buddy thats great, would it be the normal sized one or the long one?
