tennis Federer ready for record attempt

Well batted Gilly but will your new technique go the way of the aluminium bat?

The fact that Gilchrist made these runs with the assistance of a squash ball tucked in his glove shouldn’t taint the innings but it does. If bowlers are unable to even add a band aid for a split fingernail on their bowling hand because it aids performance then why should batsmen be able to put foreign objects in their glove to gain an advantage?

Just ask Ricky Ponting about his “No, its great, seriously it does nothing though” episode with the graphite backing on his Kookaburra bat and you will find that all is not what it seems. Surely it is for the batsman through natural means to control his endeavours with the bat, not to add squash balls or graphite backing. If Gilly sweats too much and his gloves move around the handle then deal with it. Let's not have cricket go the same way as golf where technology or gimmicky add ons seem to characterise the game.

Instead of bumbling through the bad light/wet weather rules the ICC should step in and restrict what batsmen can and can’t do with their batting gloves, after all bowlers have been living with these restrictions for years
