Title: Helmets for Glasses Wearers
Post by: Whispering Death on October 26, 2010, 08:52:29 AM: Can anyone recommend a helmet or grill for me as i wear glasses and fins it sometimes difficult to see.

Also, when i sweat it drips onto my glasses meaning i can't see all that well - any suggestions?

Post by: iand123 on October 26, 2010, 08:55:53 AM: I'd recommend contact lenses. I tried wearing my glasses and found it a pain when playing cricket

Post by: golders on October 26, 2010, 09:17:58 AM: Or perhaps even the shiv chanderpaul/chris gayle look with the wicked bandana?!or just ordinary bandana would do a better job than sweat band me thinks,especially if helmet is already a snug fit.

Post by: Whispering Death on October 26, 2010, 09:19:54 AM: i'd love to get away with the bandana but i don't think i've got the face for it!

i'd look more like a pirate!

How old are you mate?? Do not worry! I got my first this season despite every1 at the club saying my technique is one of the best around! I got numerous 40's leading up to it... then one day when you get it....... WOW!!

Title: Re: Helmets for Glasses Wearers
Post by: Howzat on November 11, 2010, 09:31:41 AM: Well I didnt score a 50 in junior cricket until last years under 17's where I scored 50*,74*, and a 49. Although I scored a 59* the year before in senior cricket. Then scored about 4 fifties this year in senior cricket along with a 66 on the last day of the season.

Never got a 50 in youth cricket. My high score was 12.

Post by: tim2000s on November 11, 2010, 01:25:51 PM: I bat low. having enough "batsmen" left to score runs can be quite a challenge. I'm usually the last man standing!
