He was the first batsman and one of a very few I ever recall wearing those batting gloves, that were like mittens ie no fingers.
In fact I don't recall anyone else ever wearing them, though no doubt they did.
Tony Greig was the first to wear those. Known as the Box Glove and made by St Peter Sports who Greig was contracted to. Greig had a lot of influence over Woolmer, gave him his first cap and got him to sign for Packer.

Yes. I think I remember Greig wearing them as well. But it's Woolmer I visualise wearing them, as clear as it was yesterday.
Tredwell, Key, Jones and Khan (I didn't get him, this question was posed on my clubs group chat, and I wouldn't have got him in a million years) are correct. Two more to get.

Matt Renshaw signed for the early part of the season. We certainly need cover with Joe and Sam at the IPL
