yes he is doing that from many matches now. almost from 1st match i guess.u noticed it today?i dont know if its allowed or not. but since he is been wearing it from many matches. it must have be allowed.
Actually this practice was started by McGlashan, the NZ wicket Keeper...he wore it during the 2nd ODI between the recent India NZ series...maybe it is allowed....AC
heh icc and the rules. what happened to the double sided bats. are they allowed or banned? i guess ICC does not care as long as something controversial is going on.
Some time back they pointed that ponting using a bat which is illegal.......at that point of that pontng was in form of his life.......and he was ruthless during those period......
The bat that Ponting used was graphite reinforced...which is thought to give more power to the shots that he played....and that was considered unfair...but i dont think this helmet/face guard gives any major advantage...this only helps in enhanced safety....maybe thats why there is not much noise...but who knows....ICC is known to wake up a little late on things...AC
I think it's time for all the 'keepers to wear that kinda helmet. Since it doesn't have a big gap in front of the eyes, unlike the regular helmets, it seems to be more safe and suited for wicket keepers.
