Cricket equipment guide

Around the Academy:

Clothing
It may not appear practical when diving to save a boundary but the traditions of cricket dictate that much of the game, when played at competitive level, is played in 'whites'.

Clothing

Despite the coloured clothing worn in the one-day game, most of schools, club, county and Test cricket is still played in all white.

Short or/and long sleeve jumpers are commonplace on the cricket field with bowlers usually getting the umpires to double up as a coat stand!
