Hi.

I am almost certainly going to buy a Masuri Wicket Keeping Helmet soon.
I need a new batting helmet too.
Will the Masuri WK helmet be suitable for batting in too? Would save me having to buy 2 helmets.
Have any of you done this and how have you found it? As the differences I imagine with peak and back are quite subtle?

Ta.

I don't understand if you need to bat in one as well you wouldn't get a normal masuri and use that for keeping and batting personally

May well be worth a read....

The grill isn't any different, at least, my Masuri keeping lid isn't, and i've batted in it before with no problems.

I kept in my Ayrtek (even got sledged by the batsman for it) One helmet two uses

So did Sangakkara, Luke Sutton and Johnny Bairstow

increased vision from feedback apparently from the peak shape

Not kept in my Ayrtek yet, still getting used to the fit, but i'm sure it would work very well

Thank you. That was most useful. Will definately get one to double up as both my keeping and batting lid.

My question about this one would be that if the peak length is reduced, how does that affect the strength of the peak and specifically, its ability to stop the ball forcing between the peak and grill when batting?

Mate i keep with the masuri wicketkeepers helmet and also bat in it  with no problems, i think the shortened peak also helps when batting too!

I keep in it a lot as I mostly stand up, and only bat in a lid occasionally so just use a keeping helmet for both. Depends how much you bat in it I suppose but I don't see it as an issue and also can't be arsed carrying two around

Dont they have a cut out on the back of the helmet, which would mean that if you turn your back and head on the delivery you could get a nice hit on the back of the head

Wen we had Sangakkara wearing the helmet he wanted it sweeping lower to cover more of his neck not less of it for the exact reason mentioned above.
