We speak to Owzat-Cricket to get their top tips on how to get the most out of the end of season sales
The end of the cricket season does have a few positives. Endless excuses for how you were dismissed will have to wait until the spring while players begin to remember what free weekends, and their partner's face, look like.
But one of the biggest excitements about the end of the summer is the end of season sales. That bat that you have had your eye on is finally an affordable price and a new set of pads is a necessary expense.
The Cricketer spoke to Gavin Young from Owzat-Cricket about how to get the best kit for the best price. Get your kit for next summer now to give yourself a head start on next season.
Bats
With the amount of bats on offer it can be so difficult to know what to look for. What grade and type of wood do you go for? What is the manufacturing process? With Gunn & Moore you always know that you are getting top quality.
Young agrees. “It is an amazing value Grade 1 bat made exclusively for Owzat-Cricket. Buy it now for a great end of season price and break it in during this coming winter nets. You simply can’t go wrong, beautiful bat!”
Pads
New Balance TC860 batting pads
Endorsed by Joe Root, these New Balance pads combine the look of a traditional pad with the modern technology required to give batters as much flexibility as possible when attempting those quick singles.
"Top end pad that is top value in the end of season sale. Bat in them throughout the winter and they will be perfectly broken in by the start of next season."
Gloves
Gray-Nicolls Select 600 batting gloves
Every cricketer has an occasion where they fully realise the importance of wearing quality gloves. Club wickets can spring nasty surprises and without robust protection a season-ending broken finger can be just around the corner.
"When it comes to batting gloves Gray-Nicolls are at the forefront of product development. The Selects are made to a traditional sausage finger design and are a perfect choice for the league and club cricketer."
