Hey guys,
So just wanted to know which gloves you have.
Tell us about them, and a pic if possible.
I'll start, I've got Slazenger Panthers from 5 years ago!!
I'll see if I can get pics up.

I use some plain, sausage style unbranded gloves. Bought them last February.
Positives about them so far have been the comfort, they are extremely comfortable, the cost (£20) and the look. I think they look great whether it be in the nets or in a game!
Wouldn't call it a negative as such but one draw back is that the protection isn't magnificent. Have been hit on the hand once wearing them and it didn't hurt to be honest but I reckon if you are facing very quick bowling it's best to look elsewhere!

Why did you buy them then ? (because they look good in nets ?) |

Pictures would be nice though - seeing them for real is much different to the stock pics on websites!
My Dukes Prestige Gloves - Love them to bits - soooooo soft!

Well firstly, when buying online you don't get to see the protection in great detail. Secondly I'm not exactly facing Brett Lee every week and finally I like they way they look (is it such a bad thing?).
The point I was trying to make is that they are great unless you are going to be playing very high level cricket. The standard I play at is pretty good with some quite quick bowlers (guys contracted to counties at uni and some minor counties players) and they stood up to those quite well. |

No, obviously I could tell they would protect my hands to a decent level but you can never tell how well!
I don't want to get into an argument with someone who, every time I log on, seems to want to argue over stupid points. Just accept that firstly, I like the way the gloves looked. Secondly, I can obviously see that they would protect my hands and not necessarily to the "test match" standard advertised because I know my gear quite well and finally, being a student I can't afford the top notch gloves that I'd like to so obviously price is important.
Oh, yeh one last thing. I use the big piece of willow in my hands to hit the ball, not my gloves.
End of. |

Yeah, I'm with Matt.
Hey Lekka, is this all because your gloves don't look very nice??  |
