Buy a pair of usual white boxer shorts and a pair of Slazenger box shorts from Sports Direct. Cut the pouch out and sow it onto the boxers, sorted. Comfortable and practical

Does anyone make a set of compression style shorts with a box pouch these days? That would be the golden short for me, Aero boxer ones I have are good but too short to be that comfortable for a long innings so get worn over compression shorts.

Anyone got any recommendations for ones that are particularly long, my thigh guard rubs if it's directly on my leg and most cycling shorts down go much more than mid thigh.

The Aero batting shorts come to just above the knee.

Have a look at the gray Nicolls cover point compression pants, that's what I use but I cut them to turn them into shorts
