its not macho at all mate, when your stood up keeping to spin there is no need to have a lid unless its turning and bouncing off the pitch, even then id back myself to take it or get out the way.

i will always go out to bat with a helmit unless the spinners are on purely for the vision purposes

Cant belive there is still this macho nonsense about wearing a lid, wear one people! A cricket ball can seriously damage your face and not to mention your eyes.......

Not macho nonsense its the fact that not wearing one can improve performances! and help make taking those high catches or the lobed up ones so much easier!

I do get what you mean mate, I stood up for over 20 years with out a lid, no keeper ever wore a lid back then. but my advise to kids especially as they are used to keeping in lids is dont risk it, there is simply no reason to, other than machismo.........I always bat in a lid unless there are 2 spinners on at the same time........

yeah, thats the only time id bat in a cap.

id also wear a helmit if i was stood up to anything quicker than medium pace

Damo has already said hes doing it on the hush hush from the Mrs good plan in my view!

The Aero P2 KPR is more than ample - they take some getting used to - but they are good

I always wear a helmet standing up to the stumps, although now 16. Just for safety really at the moment and I took a few dodgy ones last season which would have left me in a bit of a mess! Aero KPR mask looks good though.

The reason for wearing one to seamers, Hodd getting pinned in the CLT20! Spinners is a different matter

Ha hit him right in the helmet didnt it, that would have been messy had he not been wearing one.

stubbzy · « **Reply #42 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:14:17 AM »
