I heard there is going to be a @graham back yard cricket star - any truth to that?

Waste of cardboard...... who wants to see some pasty white slow right arm pie chucker on a card?

Hi guys and girls,

Hope to have a sneak peek of one of the new Cricket cards being released later today.

This release is currently scheduled for mid December to coincide with the start of the BBL season.

As soon as we have the ok to post, it will be up here on the website.

Cheers
Matt

Champion mate, your efforts are appreciated.

I've got to go cricket training in two hours, any chance of getting it before then

Anticipation building.......

 

[Matt26]

Got the ok from Tap 'N' Play to share a sneak peek of what one of the new release Cricket base cards will look like.

Please be aware the image may change slightly, but its an early look at what the cards are starting to look like.

What do you think? Love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers
Matt

Looks great, rounded corners not sure about. Looking forward to hear about any inserts.
Good work Matt

 

[pommiealex]

Thanks for that Matt. They look pretty cool to me. Especially for just a base card.
Any more news on the inserts at all?
Thanks alex

Hi mate,

The lighter part is actually part of the card as well....will be a standard size trading card (hopefully with 4 sharp corners).

Cheers
Matt

Hi Matt,

They look great. Can't wait to have some in hand.

 

[BoondasH1]

Looks nice, are these going to be digitally printed or the usual using printing plates?

Hopefully it is released with 4 sharp corners.

Any signatures like the previous BBL release? How nice would these be guys:

Brad Hodge (why hasn't there been a signature card of his)
Jacques Kallis
Keven Pietersen
Dwayne Smith
Jesse Ryder
Pat Cummins
A few other local lads.

 

[Wookiedragon]

Andrew Flintoff, Eoin Morgan, Darren Sammy, Michael Lumb

 

[Wookiedragon]

One possible bit of feedback would be to ask to not have such a dark background.

Makes it hard when trying to get sigs on them as you can't see it properly....

At this stage from what I can gather this will be an introductory low end release.....not sure about signatures but I do know there will be inserts.

Use a silver pen??

 

[Wookiedragon]

Could do that when you get them one on one.

Usually for someone like Brett Lee, who is pictured in the image you only get a chace at getting him at a BBL game and he will use one random persons pen to sign everything that gets put in front of him, so you dont always get a chance to give him / them a different pen.

Dont get me wrong here. I am over the moon at ANYTHING released & can't wait for these to come out. I will be supporting them with a few box purchases either way. It was merely a suggestion.

The 07/08 Select cricket set is by far and away the best looking set signed, as the signatures stand out so much. Where as the BBL set, while the cards look good. When signed you can hardly see the signature on 90% of them.
