Taking off the Gloves and Helmet

[GotSpin]

Better yet, you remove the pads and use two protectors as knee guards

He's pretty good, used to play for county youth team, and was averaging 80 us in schools' cricket that year.

Oh no problem then. He obviously earnt it

Where do you get the second protector from? Think of the logistical nightmare!

 

[GotSpin]

A valid point, but i have a solution!

The second protector is protecting your right but cheek if your left handed- vica versa if your right. Then once you reach 50 you remove the but protector and groin protector, and protect your knees

Okay, what do we do with the thigh guards, the arm guard, and the chest guard?

 

[GotSpin]

Thigh guards are turned into but cheek protector
Arm guard into groin protector

Not so sure about chest, im stumped...

Cut out two holes for eyes and a few breathing holes and you have a face guard!

Good point. Maybe if you score 50+ runs you can't use a bat, but only a stump

Now hit a golf ball against a corrugated iron sheet.

Hey presto, Bradman.

 

[Robertinho]

probably about 60- for Rob Key

And around what score do you think he should be allowed to take the paper bag off?

Pointless thread, but nevertheless.

When a batsman has made 400 in a Test Match he should be able to remove all his protective clothing and walk off the ground having put his own personal record above the good of the team.

Yeah i think 380+ chairs should be set up at either end with an esky next to it

How dare you! This is an important topic that the cricketing community needs to disccus and conscider

 

[adharcric]

speaks highly on the creativity and vast knowledge of CW members when a topic as pointless as this makes it to the third page .. great job guys

Point? What's a point?

I'm not surprised that batsmen take off their gloves - on a hot day after you've been batting for even 30 minutes, your hands feel like they're taking a bath.

Dunno about helmet though, but I know that the BO off my cap can kill a mouse within 3 seconds.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

I personally think that the gloves can be taken off at the end of an over or after a wicket but never during an over.

Helmets, not so sure. I don't bat with a helmet anymore although i do field with one at BatPad and Short Mid Micket. But then i take it off every over or so...

The best time to take off your gloves is usually when you are making that long walk back to the boundary.

lol i sweat profusely, and i don't like the feel of inners, so my gloves come off at about 10, and my 2nd pair of gloves come out at 50 odd

 

[vic_orthdox]

Tailenders should aim to call for a new pair of gloves, IMO.

You have two pairs of gloves? I'm in awe.

I already said that But its true, an important goal for them to aim for
