Which player has the best overall kit?

[iHammad]

Opinionated question

Which player (in your opinion) has the best overall kit?

This is including, gloves, pads, helmet, bats, guards, shoes and of course the bats .

Please also post pictures.

Who is he Sami ?

I was also about to post picture of Umar Akmal but he is using outdated stuff

Didn't find any GM player who use all GM including GM Hero Helmet.

 

[SempreSami]

Yorkshire's Adam Lyth.

 

[Quick Single]

Ian Bell:

All his gear looks so classy.

 

[Cover Drive]

The second picture of Bell is class, not talking about gear but look at the technique!!

 

[SempreSami]

Yeeeeeeeeeeah.

 

[Cover Drive]

Nahh those pads and Catalyst is not pleasing

 

[SempreSami]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat, the Catalyst was brilliant.

 

[Cover Drive]

Errrr no

Wasn't it Iconish ?

 

[shirazi_r]

Errrr no

Wasn't it Iconish ?

I presume "Iconish" to be a good thing....

 

[SempreSami]

The concaved profile that was somewhere between a Hero and an Icon, the sky blue graphics, the white grip, love it.

 

[Cricketismylife]

should have stuck with this one instead of the new ST RANGE:

I found a profile shot;

Looks a bit traditionalish, just not my cup of tea to be honest.

As far sticker are concerned nothing beats 2010 ones in my opinion they re class act.

I agree, these stickers look much classy imo.

 

[ammo]

hussey and haddin looked nice when they still had beast and ice but i must admit all GM gear looks soo nice!

Ian Bell:

i dont think he wears an adidas helmet isn't it masuri??

 

[Cover Drive]

Yes, it is Masuri.

I don't think Adidas make helmets.

 

[ehtesham]

Yes, it is Masuri.

I don't think Adidas make helmets.

yea.. u r right

 

[No_Username]

Does this include the box?



Anyway, everybody knows who the winner is.

But seriously, when it comes to pads GM wins it quite clearly. And when it comes to bats, GN is the worst,they have far too much stuff on their bat.

When it comes to a box, Younis Khan wins it.

Wut, it's a great profile.

I almost got one of these upon my return to cricket before the Hero DXM came out.

The stickers on GM bats have been same for ages, these 2011 are revolutionary perhaps)

 

[Cover Drive]

And this is second best for me;

How about you Hammad Bhai ?

Poppycock, they made slight changes to the graphics over the last six or seven years.

needs a star on the helmet imo... the look will be more attractive then

 

[SempreSami]

Also, Graeme Smith in 2008.

The main design and outline stayed the same.

Was about to post Umar Akmal but that lad is not gear savvy I believe.

wrong

 

[Cover Drive]

wrong

Prove it.

That Catalyst, Icon (Kamran Akmal is holding), Purist Smith is holding etc all have same front sticker with little little bit of tweaking.

 

[SempreSami]

The DXM stickers are completely black, plus the bit that goes all around the bat is of a different design (The band with a triangle below the GM logo on the 2008 model is replaced with a rectangle flanked by two inverted chevrons). Not to mention the model number (Original etc) sits below the stickers on the DXMs whereas on the older models it sits on the black band below the GM logo.

The stickers from 2007 are different-er too.

And that's a Hero Smith is using.

 

[Cover Drive]

I surrender Sir SempreSami, next time I will make sure I don't argue with you on GM

 

[SempreSami]

Methinks I spend too much time looking at photos on cricinfo :0

 

[Cover Drive]

No you closely look at the pictures and stickers etc.

I look at pictures too but not as closely as you do thats for sure.

 

[iHammad]

Some classy kit pictures in this thread.

For me, Ian Bell wins. His adidas gear is very attractive!

Its Kamran Akmal not Umar

First it was on roadside, he stopped his car to meet me.

Second was at National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

He is probably the best professional I have ever met, very good guy down to earth.

wat city was this? sounds like a good guy...stopping and all that!

 

[Cover Drive]

Lahore.

Not saying because he is my favourite player but believe me or not he was probably the nicest player I have ever met.

After that I spoke with him on phone many times and this guy was down to earth.

The last conversation I had with him was around 3 months ago and I asked about his bat.
