Bats Change??

[King Pietersen]

God, the front is disgusting IMO.

Why isn't Gambhir worthy of using an MRF Bat? And average of 54 after 25 Tests is brilliant.

He's just not as good as Aaron Redmond.

 

[SciD]

No they were reserved for three greats. It will be new one. I will see in Neo if Gauti is using MRF bat in Corporate trophy.

 

[iridescentt]

Come on. Their just bat stickers. I know where your coming from saying the reputation that Sachin had built with MRF and how when you think of Sachin you think of his MRF. But it's not that much of a big deal really, think outside the box.

@ KP. I agree. Redmond should be the new face of MRF. Gambhir, move aside.

 

[shubhrayu]

Ahahahahahaha!

Why are you all crying over him changing bats? Why can't he use an MRF just because better players have used one? What a joke.

I agree why can't Gambhir or someone use it?

Please be practical guys. (No Offence)
Gambhir cannot use it until his contract with Reebok expires.

 

[McLOVIN]

I thought Dhoni and Yuvraj used Reebok?

i mean that, ya!

you get the POINT!!!!!

 

[Amiya]

Tbh i hate all the players who uses Matrix bat. Low standard bat. Sorry no offence.

Just for one thing, I think more to the point are Sachins Pads. He is the last international(and probably domestic) to wear buckled pads. Is he really going to make the move to straps?

 

[Cricketman]

To the guys saying they're just stickers - it's more of a sentimental thing. Sachin is known for the MRF bat, the bat that the elite cricketers of the modern era have used. Lara, Waugh and of course the Little Master.

Cricketman added 1 Minutes and 33 Seconds later...

Won't it just be called an MRF Genius or Wizard? Or will the bat actually be named after him?

He can't use the Genius or Wizard imo. Those are meant for Sachin and Lara alone.

Maybe something else.

I think he's just changing his bat.

 

[King Pietersen]

He'll have to use Adidas gloves, pads and shiz as well, so I reckon he'll either request Adidas make him some buckled pads or he'll have to go to straps. Adidas won't let him use just their bat, they'll have paid out alot of money to get Sachin to use their equipment, so they'll want him to wear as much of their gear as possible.

 

[Leggie]

I realy doubt he's gonna give up his ridiculously padded buckled pads.

 

[King Pietersen]

If he's signed a contract with Adidas he won't have much choice in the matter, if those pads are branded anyway. I'm sure Adidas will just rebrand his padded-buckled pads if he asks them too. He had a sticker over his pads in the IPL with the Mumbai Indian's logo on, so he could ask Adidas to do something similar for him. He'll more than likely have to use their gloves and any other visible protection he's wearing will have to be Adidas.

 

[Leggie]

Haha, I can imagine headlines in India.

'Sachin refuses to sport Adidas box'

I'll get my coat.

 

[Cricketman]

The Hindu article you pointed to had him saying he's wearing pads and stuff too.
