Advantages: Stylish, classic, comfortable. Disadvantages: You may have to pay a little more, but it's worth it!
...Now this IS a nice shirt!
Boca Juniors, the giants of Argentina. Always a safe bet for a nice shirt and this one doesn't let the side down!
Manufactured by Nike, you know that the quality will be good. It's in the sphere dry material, which has very little shine to it and keeps the classic blue and yellow colour scheme looking really great. It's also extremely comfortable to wear, either for leisure or playing in.
The styling is a real triumph too. Of late, Nike have made some very, very dull shirts. They went through a spell of making exactly the same design shirts, just in different colour schemes and different badges. They also tended to make the colours slighlty out. This one is a fantastic return to form though. The styling is simple enough to be classic but, with touches like the really cool collar design, it's got...

Advantages: High quality cricket bat Disadvantages: Little pricey
... Puma Ballistic 4000
The Product
This is a cricket bat, made by the Australian based manufacturer Puma. Puma make all sorts of sports equipment, but have only recently moved into the manufacture of cricket bats. They have, however, exploded onto the scene and are now amongst the most popular manufacturers.

Advantages: Quality, durability, comfort. Disadvantages: Nothiing, but try to get a lower price online.
...I should stress before starting this review that I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a bowler, so what follows is written very much from the point of view of a batsman/wicket keeper.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Puma Signature Full Spike is a lace up cricket shoe, and, as the name suggests, is spiked both at the toe and heel end of the shoe.
It is predominantly white, with a red, black & grey trim and retails at between £40 and £60 (as usual, you'll pick up some better deals online if you search it out).
The heel has 4 spikes, the toe 6, but it is possible to fit fakes to keep just the toe half spiked or to fit pimple spikes, but there are plenty of shoes out there that offer this as a basic anyway, and it would make sense that, were you looking to buy a 'full spike' shoe, you'd be looking to keep them all in!
