Did anybody else see these during yesterdays t20 coverage? I honestly don't know if I think they are hideous or awesome.I know they would be a sledgers wet dream if I came out in these.

If it's the same as last year, he'll just keep wicket in them. Not really enough protection for the yorker to bat in them!

As a PE Teacher my students wearing Converse for any physical activity is a big no no.. mainly as there's no support for the ankles when turning and not much support underfoot. But then there's a lot of argument these days about the impact of trainers and soles on a whole range of conditions and going back to flatter soles seems the in-thing at the mo.

Regardless, each to their own as he must find them reasonably light and comfortable especially as he's had them spiked.....

The Red... for the viewers I think...

Makes me laugh a bit really when people get slated for not wearing the 'norm' when playing sport.

I can remember watching a programme a few years back now and it was some Street Football competition programme that was done by Wayne Rooney and the guy known for saying 'Tekkers' (can't remember his name).

In one of the challenges, one of the best footballers was wearing a pair of pumps. Rooney basically slated him for wearing them and when he asked why he wore them he just said they were light and comfy.

I thought to myself, Rooney's sponsor Nike will have spent £millions on research and development into reducing the weight of football boots and trainers to make them comfier and yet he's probably bought something that feels even comfier at Primark for £3. Who's the one that should be slated really? If they had a Nike tick on and was endorsed by Rooney they would be seen as a great innovative product!

And as an aside, surely as a keeper, you aren't running around anyway...

In regards to being a keeper I did think about it a bit when I saw him stood up, especially to the seamers, that it would seriously hurt if a Yorker happened to get through or a bottom edge.

I do wear trainers sometimes midweek when keeping and hope I don't get one on the end of the toes!

They look terrible, I like converse but that's ruined them. Personal preference I suppose though.

They are certainly a talking point.

Personally, I quite like them, light comfy, you can't tell they are spiked without a close look.  Bit funky, bit difference, and they have the rubber bit on the toe which gives you a bit more protection than the regular trainer.

If I had the money to get a white pair spiked up, they would be ok for fielding in.  Not sure I would bat in them though.

This is all about his Ego, in a way it's like he's saying "I'm better than this standard" simply because he's ex pro.

A cricketing version of peacocking. He did it last season, a different pair of Cons though, and even kept wicket with his iPod in...

They may be light and comfy, I know I love my converse, but there is no ankle protection and although a keeper doesn't run. They shuttle side to side a lot, one slip and he does an ankle ligament!

On the other hand I am in love with those pads. Had a look at them in White and they lose so much class when they get the CK22 blue splattered on them :(
Also having seen the price, I really hope I fit in Youth!!!
