Batting gloves can be broadly categorised as sausage finger with rolled rounded protection, or hinged block, which have a square shape but breaks in the protection to coincide with the flex of the knuckles. Both forms are available throughout the price ranges of the leading brands.

Higher priced gloves provide sturdier protection to the lower hand in particular and generally feature better quality leather in the palms.

Prices generally range from £20 – £100.
