Don't you just love it when you come home from work and the Postman has delivered you a parcel. Well today, I received my eagerly anticipated SR gloves from Alex at Ian Wills Cricket. Based down in Cornwall, I have had dealings with Alex from our brief meetings at uni, and from personal experience, he is a genial, pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable bloke when it comes to cricket and seems to be passionate about what he is trying to achieve with his brand.
Secondly, the gloves, and in my opinion what a fantastic pair of gloves they are. Split finger design which is not to everyones taste, but being a split finger fan, I think they look the poodles's plums! Traditional colour scheme with minimal branding on the back of hand and velcro cuff fastener. Will probably need a lot of washing however, as they are very white lol, especially on the sweat band. Mostly however, they are blooming comfortable and plenty big enough for my rather large hands with plenty of ventilation on the palm, fingers and sides. They seem to be very well made, with pittards leather and good quality stitching. Really looking forward to using them on saturday.
Thirdly, the price. For a pair of gloves that are a lot better than my old kahunas, I would expect these to have cost a lot more than they did and the surprise at the quality was evident. For £40, there is no way you can go wrong. Will definitely be investing in a pair of pads, and am in conversation about a bat.
All in all, great gloves at a great price.
