Title: Sweaty gloves
Post by: LDifa on June 12, 2015, 11:50:37 PM

Only faced twenty balls tonight before retiring on 33 (social cricket) but it was really humid, other than swapping gloves every over, are there any tricks that people use?

Last ODI Joe Root sprayed his bat, hands and gloves.

Any ideas?????

I find inners work well, and it's a lot cheaper to have a bunch of spare ones lying around if you have to swap them out, as opposed to spare gloves

Inners, just keep some spares close by so you can change them when required.

I try to take mine off as much as possible when not facing. Let the air circulate.

Talc powder before you bat on humid or muggy days

Personally I hate the feel of inners. It makes my hands feel bulky and clunky.

I normally at least un velcro my gloves while being non striker. Saying that, I have a couple if spare pairs so never wear the same pair for 2 matches running (let them fully dry and doesn't seem to clag up as quickly)

That combined with my lack of ability to hang around means it doesn't worry me too much.

Pittards help

I use fingerless inners and I have the legend GN gloves with pittards leather and have no problem. Before that I needed to change gloves halfway through. I also had to change gloves during my coaching sessions that last an hour. Now I'm fine. When it warms up I'll just keep a spare pair of inners in my pocket.

Thanks everyone, had gone off using inners, but will try and take them off as much as possible

Always put talcum power in gloves and socks keeps gloves hands and feet dry.
