ON GUARD- A review by Addy
Background
On Guard is a French made film that was adapted for film from the book titled Le Bossu, (The Hunchback) by the author Paul Feval. On Guard was released in 2004 and is your swashbuckling style movie in the vein of all those classic Musketeer movies or The Count of Monte Christo. Being made in France the film On Guard is in French language with English subtitles. This gem of a film is filled to the brim with conspiracy, action, retribution, love, and passion with a healthy layer of wit to top it all off. However, for me what this film has in such abundance is simply that it is such great fun.

Advantages: High quality cricket bat Disadvantages: Little pricey
Puma Ballistic 4000
The Product

This particular bat is a Puma Ballistic 4000. All the Puma bats come in a series of grades, 5000, 4000 and 3000. Therefore, the 4000 is a middle range bat, but as the quality of all the Puma bats is so high, this is like a high grade bat from any other producer.
The Ballistic is characteristic for its thick edges and enhanced sweet spot, making it a bat for players of power rather than precision. The 4000 model is made from Grade 1 English willow, the highest you can get. The only thing that differs from ...
Advantages: good price, attractive design, excellent protection Disadvantages: thickness when waering in matches.
.
Puma is a great make of which I have had many things as trainers, bags and clothing, and they have all been durable yet fashionable.
Although the shin pads are for protection and not what they look like, as socks when playing football mainly hide them, it's an added bonus if they look good.
Just to let any lads needing some new pads these would be a highly recommended purchase as they are well tough, I have been clattered loads of times since buying them and been ok.
Studs are not able to break or penetrate the plastic on the outside and the reinforcing and padding would give you extra protection if this did occur.
Which I would be very surprised if it did, another point id due to the thickness you may need a size up in socks to cater for the thickness.
I'd rather do this then have a broken leg, so in conclusion I am very ...
