Cricket Gloves
Making sure the batsmen is fully protected is very important for both safety and a players confidence. Cricket gloves are an integral part of a cricketers kit. There are gloves for batting, wicket keeping and of course left handed gloves are different because finger protection is needed on the other hand.
The top names to look out for when choosing a new pair of cricket gloves are Adidas (elite, pro, club, junior and county models). These are new for 2009 and are endorsed by Kevin Pietersen. Other popular brands are Woodworm, Nike, Mitre, Gunn and Moore, Hunts, Newbery, Chase, Salix, Aero, Kookaburra and Gray Nicolls. Each of these produce gloves for both adult and junior cricketers.
Cricket Batting Gloves
Comfort, style and protection are all important features to consider when thinking of buying a new pair of batting gloves. Some cricketers like to keep their batting gloves for years because they just feel "right" or bring good luck. Left handed gloves are slightly more difficult to find - so a thorough search on the internet is required to find the best price, in stock and favourite cricket brand.
