Bowling With Sweatband
« on: September 18, 2012, 08:54:40 PM »

Why do broad and finn and sometimes anderson wear the big sweatbands on their non bowling arms when bowling.
Also have you seen anyone do it at your level and does it look showoff-ish

Deja vu!! What is it with you and sweatbands?!?

Bowling arm tends to come over quicker than non-bowling arm, and the force can cause sweatbands to come off

If you get one and aren't too scared to wear it, make sure you buy a red one because batsmen will mistake it for the ball and you will take at least 10 wickets per match, maybe more. You will become the best bowler in your club instantly by buying a red sweatband.

Some silly people think they're only for wiping sweat.

Here's an idea. Why not work on your game instead of worrying about which pro you look like? Every post you've started is related to what kit pro cricketers use, and where to get it, regardless of whether you even know what it's fir.

Anderson must be doing something other than bowling right to keep being the first man picked...... Give it a crack!
