It is difficult for the keepers to take high catches with the regular helmets. This baseball helmet will give a good visibility for high catches.Some Australian keeper (I guess it is Ryan Campbell) used this kind of helment during the Indian Cricket League matches.-Ravi

Now, umpires too want to wear baseball helmets.

Harper suggests baseball helmets for umpires

 

[ajuravi007]

Probably yes especially in T20 cricket.........

 

[amish]

[ajuravi007]

I mentioned it T20 cricket in this form of the game only batsmanthrash for every thing where as the risk in other form of cricket are very less........

In any type of cricket wicket keeper is always facing all the balls whether batsman is going to thrash or not. so risk involved is always same i.e.100%, any ball can hit wktkeeper. So you wear a best helmet be it for 120 balls or 5 days.
