Can the wicketkeeper put glue on his gloves?

Question

to make the ball stick more?

Answer 1

Well if Adam Gilchrist is allowed to put a squash ball in his glove versing Sri Lanka you'll obviously be allowed to glue the stumps in to the ground.

Answer 2

no he cant put.

Answer 3

No....... Definitely not allowed to do that........

every gloves size should be standard and as per the rule of ICC......

Once,Dhoni was critisied for using a gloves with a little more spaces between the thump and the index finger......

Then , how do they accept to stick glue in gloves?

Answer 4

It was first done by Gilly by cheating and was cleared by Fvking ICC, now it must be others to follow

Answer 5

wouldn't the balll get stuck to his gloves???? why don't you ask adam gilchrist...

Answer 6

it should have been Gilchrist

Answer 7

Provided that it doesn't affect the condition of the ball.

There is nothing in the rules against it, (also nothing in it says you are permitted to do that)

Answer 8

No, the keeper dosen't need glue, he's already got grip on the gloves and that is enough!!

And plus it will make it harder for the keeper!! When the keeper tries to put the gloves on or take them off, the glue would stick the gloves together, making it harder for the keeper!! Finally, if a bowler takes a wicket and the keeper goes to high five him to congratulate the bolwer, the bowler's hands will have glue on them and making it harder for the bowler to bowl!!

EDIT: The keeper will ruin the ball for the bowler!! The ball will become more sticky and it will not be able to be released from the bowler's hand as good as it should!!

Answer 9

That is cheating is the umpire saw that the wicket keeper will be in the pavilion.

Answer 10

yess thats true

Answer 11

Having a squash ball in your glove is not illegal.

All of you that are bitchin about it, if its such an advantage, then every other player is free to do it. Every one of you that are whinging are just jaded and jealous that we've won 3 in a row.

Answer 12

it doesnt make sense, he will have to put the glue again and again after catching the balls. n by rules he is not allowed to do so

Answer 13

u know what happen when they celebrate the wickets, it could stick others hand to his gloves :D

if you need to put glue on your gloves that should really mean that you stink at wicketkeeping and if you stink at it, nothing can help you like practice

Answer 15

No, he cannot
