Kookaburra Ghost Players Replica Cricket Batting Gloves

Kookaburra Ghost Players Replica Cricket Batting Gloves

The Kookaburra Ghost Players Replica Cricket Batting Gloves are high-quality batting gloves developed in conjunction with Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne and finished in his Ghost colourway. Designed to provide serious protection against fast bowling, they combine retro traditional sausage styling with reinforced fibre finger inserts, fibre thumb protection and a premium leather palm.

Protection through the fingers comes from Corrugated Reinforced Fibre Protection Finger Inserts. These reinforce the traditional sausage-style finger sections, adding protection where batters are particularly exposed when facing quicker deliveries.

The thumb is reinforced with a Fibre Insert Thumb Protection system, while a High Density Foam Backhand with Multi Flex Panels provides additional impact protection across the back of the hand without relying on a completely rigid construction.

Side protection is also substantial. The bottom hand uses three-piece sidebars, while the top hand uses a one-piece sidebar. For batters facing faster bowling, this additional coverage helps protect areas along the sides of the hands that can otherwise be vulnerable to impact.

A premium leather palm with central airflow ventilation provides the main connection between the hands and bat handle. The leather construction provides a quality contact surface, while the central ventilation is designed to encourage airflow through the palm during longer periods at the crease.

Comfort comes from a soft fill foam lining and double-sided towelling wristband. An elasticated gusset contributes to the performance fit, while the premium Velcro closure is designed to reduce catching and pulling during use.
