which facemask do you use? an aero one?

As long as it's not that GN one - we played against someone who had one of them, the stick he got... (from his own teammates)

[Simmy]

no need for a facemask unless ur hannibal lecter!

Thought I'd resurrect this topic following an incident at nets the other night. One of our guys was in the slowish net, and had decided not to bother with his helmet because it was, after all, slowish.

He misjudged the bounce of one of the balls and I'm not sure whether the top edge was involved or not, but it hit him in the top lip. Off to A&E and a couple of stitches....

The moral being, if you've got a helmet, wear it. Pace of the bowling really isn't important!

1st ball of nets last year my slow left arm off spin was top edged into the new lad at the clubs eye....not the best start off for him at the club but hes now lidded up and in fear of my pacey bowling!!!

But is he lidded up by you though? (and did you sort him a good deal out of guilt)

I know just what was going through toms head, "hmm, no helmet, there's some money to be made here"!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

i did tell him i could kit him out but he already had a masuri so made sure he got the full treatment on discovering this!!!

just seen this, yeah I use the Aero facemask. unfortunately being much more handsome than Simmy i have to use it to protect my good looks.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Simmys is used in a similar method to a muzzle on a dog i thought....grrrrrr

[dhackett89]

this must surely be evidence that a lid is recomended!

I'm looking at playing some of the newer shots in the game this season so will be under my cheap and nasty lid.

Played in a game with Tom where the batsman was hit by a beamer from a fairly sharp bowler. Tom came up to me and said something along the lines of 'potential customer'

nothing wrong with a bit of ambulance chasing Jospeh
