Do we count guys with contacts in the team? If so, guys like Ganguly, M Hussey, Amla, etc. would qualify.

International Debutant
Contacts arent glasses.

Rodney Redmond (NZ's 1 test wonder) wore glasses didnt he? The reason for him only playing 1 test was that he struggled to adapt to wearing contact lenses, so that would suggest he batted in glasses beforehand wouldnt it?

Nah, pretty sure the footage I've seen of that Pakistan test shows a glasses-less Rodney Redmond.

I just finished a diary on the 1949 NZ tour of England. It was written by Walter Hadlee who wore glasses.

I was trying to name a specs wearing XI and found one on Cricinfo which I wasn't that impressed with as they didn't have a wicket keeper.

Then I remembered SJS came up with one back in the day. Yet again CW amateurs comes up with the goods over the Cricinfo pros.
 

Bijed

International Regular
Yeah, he bowls with his glasses off.
I mean, I know a groan and response of "that's terrible" is almost supposed to be the best reaction to a pun, but really...

(secretly wishes he'd thought of it first)
