We’ve been greatly influenced by our employer, The Wisden Cricketer, and their gear guide for 2008 – most of our recommendations reflect this. TWC reviewed bats, padding, keeping equipment, helmets and even base layers to provide a comprehensive guide to the best cricket gear that’s currently available.
