Title: Gray Nicholls fielding elbow protectors
Post by: Calzehbhoy on October 20, 2016, 07:52:29 PM: Just doing some windows shopping online trying to find some new Thigh Pads and came across the Gray Nicholls elbow pads. Has anybody used them, what are your thoughts for those that have?

Sledging aplenty from teammates and oppo alike, but if you've got a long sleeve shirt or jumper on it's fine.

Comfortable to wear, and do definitely save a grazed elbow or two for those madmen (Moi) who insist on fielding mid-off/cover on the edge of the square. Would much prefer shirt and trouser manufacturers to sew them into trousers and shirts like they do for the England lads as it is a little annoying to keep adjusting, but a decent compromise.

Not essential. But a must for a hardcore badger!

Couldn't you do that?

Or if I forget those I roll my long sleeves up in the field so I have 3 layers of fabric between my elbows and the pitch

I barely trust myself to make a sandwich. You think I trust myself with needles!?

A simple how too (some adjustments may be required)
