Perfect Innings.Do you distract the batsman by continous cheering??I do so and it works

 

[PaulNixon1]

yes i try to annoy him as much as i can

I like to give a bit of harmless banter and see the batsman turn around and giggle a bit.

E.g He's got more singles than Dating Direct.

He's got more defences than a medieval castle.

Well I'll start off by asking the question do you keep the Aussie way or the English way?

If you dont know the difference then they are the English usullay take the ball standing straight on infront of there body where as the aussie style is to move across and take it on the inside thigh.

Does anybody know the benefits that the Aussie-style 'shortie' style gloves offers as opposed to the English style 'gauntlet' style?

Interesting that Tim Ambrose takes the ball in front of himself when he grew up playing all his cricket in Australia.

Thats stupid...

Theres no "Aussie style" and "English style". Its all personal preference.

This is a very interesting question tell me is this out...

One time I was playing in a 25 over match and I was wicket keeping and I was pretty nervous but I was doing well...then the ball was hit to this fielder and it was an easy 1 run but then he misjudged the bounce they tried for two but...he threw it to me in time to get the batsmen out...but again the weird thing was that instead of throwing it at my gloves he threw it in the dirt forcing me to get my pads in the way and stopping the ball for more over throws...but the ball then bounced off my pads and hit the wicket so the umpire said that it wasn't out that because it hit my pad that I didn't hit the wicket but the ball still hit the wicket...we argued and the call was reversed and we got the wicket but does it count for the fielder/me or just the fielder? Or is this even out?

This is English 'gauntlet' style:

This is Aussie 'shortie' style:

What I'm saying is how do they feel different from each other. i.e. is one generally more protective, is one easier to get on, is one a bit tighter etc.

 

[etho11]

I wouldn't think there would be much difference. Also Kookaburra are really the only ones who have there gloves with a major curve like that.

GN and Kookaburra Rock

 

[PaulNixon1]

Im obviously an english gauntlet because ive got the new pink pumas.

 

[Simbazz]

I've got a pair of the 08 Puma WK gloves and the last years Kookaburra. Both are good and it really is depending on what i feel like wearing when i WK (All 2 games a season )

I like the Kooks better i think!
