should bowlers be allowed to wear sunglasses
Do sunglasses give the bowler an advantage because the batsmen can't see where he in trying to pitch the ball?
Is it fair? If it isn't fair, what rule stops it? Why don't more bowlers wear sunglassses? |

They shouldn't be allowed to because, in general, they look like a dick. Bloke at our club does it, everyone just shakes their head. Unless it's Greg Blewett, because he wore them while bowling more than 130km/h...
 There's not advantage to it, let them do it. |

It's cheating. Swann hides mints behind them.

It's cheating. It hides Michael Clarke's shifty eyes when he claims a catch off a bump ball.
