Seeing as I have just sat and read a thread relating to different types of trousers you 'fine gentleman' will be adorning this season got me thinking of SOCKS!
Personally I go for a Cricket sock in the mid price range, currently the Kookaburra Air tech to be precise. Whats everyone elses take on the cricket sock? Will you splash the cash for a 1000 Miler or is 12 Pairs of donnays for £5 from sports direct good enough?

Horizon Test. Best sock going. I played circa 65 games last year, shoes and socks are very important when doing something so often that involves standing about for hours on end!
-
I've got 2 pairs of 1000 mile and 3 pairs of Horizon to last me the year.
In short im a sock snob...

Whatever of my 26 pairs of sports direct cheapo slazenger socks happens to be at the top of the drawer on game day, along with a spare pair in case the outfield is a mudbath.

An extra large textured for pleasure one mate, and that's a bit snug!

Its kind of like a tri textured bat grip.
The end is smooth, the middle is ribbed and the bottom end is a pimply texture (a bit like the S&M Grips posted somewhere on here the other day).
I have a feeling we're not on the same wavelength here :D

I was referring to longer than average socks, nothing more nothing less. What you chose do with them on the otherhand is of your own being..

1000 mile cricket socks with ultra wool technology from the Physo room .com £9.99 pair really comfortable.

I use a Snood.

I've used walking socks/cricket socks whatever over the years
But since getting a lovely pair of asics off Asad last year, cheapo sports directs all the way for me now

While that probably keeps the shaft warm, doesn't the hole at the end make it a bit drafty!

I've been selling the HORIZON TEST socks for years. I do them for a tenner & a lot of my customers use them for everyday use as well.

You're quite right - however, if I use my balaclava, my plums drop out!
-
Had a pair of horizon, hated them. Bridgedale walking socks can't be beaten however.

At a tenner can I have two pairs please

well if this was a bowling site socks and feet would be 30% of the topics. Learn how to cut your toe nails properly and wear the best socks available. I wear thin cotton twin layer running socks under my Horizon test socks. And then have the best boots that suit my feet. Addidas 22 yds for me but other feet might like other brands. I've been opening the bowling (now county league ) for 30 years

I've used Bridgedale walking socks for Saturday cricket for years. They work exceptionally well as they are designed for use for long periods and keep the foot breathing freely.
I've also used Horizon and I think the Horizons are as good. They're what I am currently using.
The other factor is shoes. For the last five years I've worn ASICS spikes and Adidas rubbers. The ASICS are the most comfortable shoes for bowling in that I've found.

Horizon are excellent and keep their shape and cushioning wash after wash.
The Thorlo range are also very good. They have a specialist running and tennis range which quite a few of our cricketers wear.

The GM Teknik is another sock offering good value for money.
-
I have half a dozen pairs from sports direct and have been happy with them. Although I might try something else after seeing what other people use

I have 3 pairs of these that I wear on rotation they're great socks.
