Gunn & Moore 202 Batting Pads

Gunn & Moore 202 Cricket Batting Pads

The Gunn & Moore 202 Cricket Batting Pads are junior cricket pads designed for young players starting their hardball cricket journey. They combine traditional cotton and cane protection with low density foam padding and an ambidextrous design, making them a practical option for school, club and backyard cricket as players develop their technique.

With a PVC facing and instep, stitched in top hat and foam knee locator, the GM 202 focuses on the protection, comfort and value needed from a junior batting pad.

Ambidextrous design

The GM 202 uses an ambidextrous design, so the pads can be worn by both right handed and left handed batters. This makes them particularly practical for shared school or club equipment, as well as young players who are still establishing their batting stance. There is no need to purchase a separate right or left handed version.

A traditional cotton and cane construction provides the main protective structure through the front of the pad. GM positions this construction around protection against junior level pace, giving developing cricketers a traditional batting pad structure as they move into hardball cricket.

Added Protection

A stitched in top hat provides additional coverage above the main pad, helping protect the lower thigh area.

Around the knee, a foam knee locator helps keep the knee positioned correctly within the pad. This supports a stable and secure fit while ensuring the protective area remains properly aligned.
