Title: Wearing a sweatband for batting
Post by: adam1312 on April 08, 2012, 09:45:48 AM
Does it make you look like a poser or arrogant if you wear a sweatband like what trott and  strauss, were doing in sri lanka and what bell and pietersen have done for years when batting in matches and nets at under 15 and in some senior cricket matches and training.

I sometimes wear one purely because of how much I sweat and also can be used as a ARM guard if its long enough

I think answers are likely to be the same as the last time you asked near enough the same question:

End of the day no one cares about what you wear, All that matters is what you do with the bat in your hands mate.

It makes you look soooo cool and everyone will admire you...

Is that what you wanted to hear?

Ps. Selectors will be watching too

I always wear a sweatband when I'm batting, sometimes 3 or 4. When added to a couple of shirts with collars popped and a liking for this modern 'robot music' my coolness becomes hard to quantify in terms you younger chaps would understand!

I sweat eating a salad. I wore a sweat band under my batting helmet (early style Albion) but didn't take into consideration it was a purple one. After a couple of hours batting my head was the same colour or at least it was where the sweat band was.

Just make sure its white.

Better than stinging eyes

Or if you can carry it off, a bandana like Chris Gayle. The louder the better, why not in your favorite footy teams colours, that'll test your mettle.

If you don't have a bandana I find my Y fronts work well. Just make sure they aren't the ones you wore last week when that guy bounced you at 90mph.

I think someone has memory issues.

Not cool, wear one if you need it. If not then don't. Simple.

I initially wore one because I do sweat a fair bit, and went well while wearing one, now it has become more of a superstition to me and I rarely use it for its intended purpose anymore, lol. No one has ever said anything to me about wearing it either.

At the end of the day, if you want to wear one, just wear it.

which one do you think is better a long sweatband like pieteersen, a medium one like bell or prior, or a thin one just below elbow

Never really got on with wearing a sweatband.  I do tend to wear one on my head under my lid, although now I wear a bandana.  Mainly because I was 12 when my dad bought my first lid, and he didn't want to get one that was snug, but one that I could grow into.  Now It's more of a comfort thing, I don't feel right if I don't wear a bandana or sweatband under my lid, even though it fits snugly...

I once wore one, got out for a duck, never wore one again. I thought it was an unlucky omen for myself.

There are times I forget to put mine on, which isn't a problem, it's when I notice that I have forgotten it which causes me to get in my head sometimes.

Got a great excuse to get it out to me though (not gonna stop a game for just a sweatband), just say that I need lollies for my diabetes and I get them to bring it out, hahahaha.
