Long......modernisation of the game stops at shortening of 'Keeping gloves i'm afraid
Also asethetically Longs are much nicer...

I had short cuff gloves for years and just switched to gauntlet. I found they actually took a bit of getting used to but they give so much more protection and support than short cuff. Gauntlets also look sweet, I've got the Smasher Bully 5* gloves, voted Best Wicket Keeping Gloves in the UK 2007 - Awesome
