Batsman normally wares a cricket helmet, padded cricket gloves, elbow pads, jock strap and leg pads. A wicket keeper normally where leg pads, wicket keeping gloves, a jockstrap and leg pads. Depending on the individual they may also ware more specialised padding for protection against the ball.
Iseem to recall that Allan Knott had a similar habit.
Ian Healy - Australia, good keeping skillsAdam Gilchrist - Australia, excellent keeping and extra-ordinary batting skillsMark Boucher - South Africa, for excellent wicket-keeping and extra-ordinary batting skillsWicket Keeper should have the batting skills too otherwise it would difficult for the team.In today's International Cricket, M.S.Dhoni is the perfect example of an excellent Wicket Keeper & an excellent Batsmen.
No. Only the 'keeper is alllowed to wear gloves regardless of what number of gloves he is wearing.
Wicket keepers wear big gloves to protect their hands from the impact of the fast-moving cricket ball, especially when bowled by fast bowlers. The gloves provide additional padding and help them to grip the ball securely when attempting catches or stumping the batsman.
