Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 16, 2015 Site Supporter Posted June 16, 2015 Need to get my lad some equipment (10 years old). Where's the best place to go- don't want to spend a fortune, but want him adequately protected. Cheers Quote
Members DazBob Posted June 16, 2015 Members Posted June 16, 2015 Get him everything but a bat from Mike Ashley's gaff. Get a bat from Cricket World which is at the Valley. Quote
Whizz Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 How tall is he? What size bat? I've got a pantry full of bats and some other decent kids gear. He can have any used bats for free (good uns but might be too big) also got a couple of adidas for sale at £25 size 5 (rrp £70) Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 17, 2015 Author Site Supporter Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks fellas. Was hoping to avoid Ashley's lot, he's a cunt, but if that's the way to go then so be it. He's 143 cm tall about 4 feet seven. The club have given him an old bat, so there's no urgency in that department. Really needs gloves, pads etc. If you've got stuff for sale Whitewhizz then let us know, we'd be interested. He's also got an oldish adidas incurza bat that needs a new rubber, but it seems too big, unsure what size, it says H on end of handle Quote
Whizz Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Probably between a size 4 and 5 so better to get him a 5 whilst he's growing. H for Harrow is 2 sizes up from a 5. 1 size from adults. I will try and have a proper look tonight what I have that's suitable. It is important that they have the right size. Keep telling my 6 year old to use his size 3 but the clean and new size 4 adidas keeps making its way to games rather than the old worn kookaburra. Quote

gonzo Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 We can help him put a new rubber on the bat handle ....and open a bottle of wine with a shoe. Quote
Traf Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 ....and open a bottle of wine with a shoe. Correct. What more does he need? Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 17, 2015 Author Site Supporter Posted June 17, 2015 Correct. What more does he need? He'll need help with his helmet! Quote
Traf Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 He'll need help with his helmet! Big E has offered to polish his helmet. Quote
Whizz Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Ok, you can have the new adidas bat for £25 and a choice of two bags (used but decent condition) for free. There was some slazenger pads and gloves you could of had for nowt but the youngest wants to keep the pads as his will be too small very soon and I can only find one glove. What club has he joined?

Cheers will take you up on that-sent you a pm Quote
Whizz Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Hope the bats ok and serves the young un well. Decathlon isn't bad for other equipment such as pads, gloves and whites. Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 19, 2015 Author Site Supporter Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks very much, he's chuffed with it. Went showing his mates when he got home. He's going to have a practice at the end of the road after school. Quote
