Title: Best Value Gloves?
Post by: billyb on July 19, 2020, 03:54:10 PM

Hey folks,

Since moving to the States I've started to find a little bit of cricket nearby, but I realize that without any actual pitches near me it just isn't fun to bowl spin any more, and whilst I've been teaching myself to bowl seam, that also isn't as fun as I'd hoped. So I'm after some decent keeping gloves. Stores here only seem to sell SG really, and it all seems quite expensive compared to UK prices!

I don't want to spend more than £70 really for gloves, and ideally less. I know GM gloves are well-regarded, and I like the look of some of the Phantom designs among others. Has anyone tried any of the new gloves this year? Thanks!

I can do some Red Ink ones for well under budget. Drop me a message if you are interested

Firstly I will say Jon's gear is excellent and it is always good to support a forum sponsor.

I have always used Hunts County gloves (that's going on 25 years now) and they are excellent quality and very very good value for money.

Had a set of these for my brother in law, he thinks they are fantastic and loves the design!
