Why would you turn your back on a ball?

[97notout]

I think what Ayrtek and possibly Sangakara meant was the moment when you'd sighted the ball but had to take the evasive action and then you don't know where its gone.

I'm sure we all do it sub conciously on occasions but doubt whether anyone in their right mind would turn their back on the ball unless fielding close in.

We are always thinking watch the ball aren't we.

Still reckon the Ayrtek is the best lid to keep in (if I have to wear a lid)

Of course you can bat in one. No major difference, just a shortened peak. Neck cut out doesn't effect batting. Get one of these, it'll last you years

you should get it and then get this as well,

then just change the shell for batting and keeping

What does this helmet weigh? Is it a steel grille?

After starting this thread and reading everyone's views, I bought a Masuri WK Helmet.

Used it all season for keeping and batting.

It's superb for both jobs. Comfortable. The shorter peak and scooped back help when keeping, and do not affect batting at all.

The grille is steel.

Highly recommended.

Much better than those ghastly Aero Face Masks - bought one last year, used it for 5 minutes and got rid of it!
