Here's the G&M stuff, the gloves were awesome until the palm finally let go but I've always liked square fingers ever since. Also the pads are the style worn by GM sponsored players around 1990 as Gatting had this type of pad on when Shane Warne bowled that gem of a first ball.
There's even a bit of claret on the front pad from wearing a short ball in he face after a miss timed pull shot. Ah the memory's! ;-)

The GM gloves always remind me of Steve Waugh

I think the colourways on both the GM and Slazenger gloves are far nicer than the more garish colours used today

I'd definitely be interested if GM did a retro range in these colour ways.
