Remarkable.

Your wicket-keeping gloves collection is phenomenal! Brilliant stuff!

Did the top leather piece go beneath the second one (in picture)?

Ta, yep bought the rubber from serious cricket and used a template off an old pair of gloves, house stinks of glue though.

Ahan, if I'm not mistaken these look tad similar to your black ones (pardon me as I can recall them specifically).

These gloves are very similar in design to Geoff Wymers but I think are an Indian copy of Slazengers Alan Knott Test glove.
Still a very very supple and tidy glove. The difference is that the ordinal Alan Knott test glove had his name on the white band and the brand name just on the corner of the cuff. These have slazenger on the white band and Alan Knotts name on the corner of the cuff.

I think he only collects wicket keeping gloves mate, not ones full of holes worn by players who can't catch...

Mate, you get "holes" in gloves once you use them, without catching a ball you simply can not get holes in them. Sir Kamran Akmal gloves go in the middle for 'breaking-in' not 'catching-in.'

Respect a hall of fame.

:D

Haha!
