Cricket Gloves & pads

Cricket Gloves:

These are the latest and the high-protective grade A cricket batting gloves manufactured by the Australian company called Kookaburra.
These batting gloves shown in the image on the left are layered with various materials that act like an shield and protect the batters hands and fingers during batting.
During cricket matches and practices the cricket ball can be bowled and delievered at a quite fast speed so therefore the company made the gloves with extra light protection materials within the hand stitched batting gloves. These gloves are only worn by the batsmen when going for batting. These gloves are thickly padded above the fingers and on the thumb of the hand, to basically protect against the hard and fast impact from the ball as it is bowled. This pair of gloves are quite modern and produced well with good quality and protection due to the technology that was used to create these gloves. Technology has had a massive impact on production as well as manufacturing of sports and cricket equipments like these gloves shown above.

This picture on the left is a great example of how old cricket batting gloves use to look like many decades ago in the early days of cricket.
above the area of the fingers there use to be a slight pointed rubber strip that was used to absorb the impact of the ball if it hit the hand, however that was the least amount of hand protection that was made and manufactured because the manufacturers didn't have enough machinery and technology in order to develop a pair of gloves like shown in the first picture.

If the batsmen got hit on the hand or fingers whilst wearing this glove then you would expect to have a injury if not a broken bone because these gloves didn't have enough protection on them in order to protect the batsmen's hand and fingers.
