Gear

It is absolutely important for a fast bowler that he looks after his legs.
The shoe must be a comfortably fitting spiked shoes with ten to twelve metal spikes. It must be light with well padded inner soles. The ankle should be cut higher helping to support the ankle during the delivery stride.
The foot should not move inside the shoe while landing and it is recommended that you wear two pairs of thick socks made of cotton, jute or wool depending on the weather conditions.

You must also wear a tight pair of sports supporter (jock straps) to prevent injury around the groin area.
The T-shirt and trouser must be sufficiently loose and comfortable and there must enough room around the shoulders so that there is no restriction to the rotation of your arm.
Head bands and wristbands are advised to be worn for those tending to sweat easily.

Shoes: Care must be taken to wear light footwear with protection at the toe and with the right sole for the surface you are playing. On matting and other artificial surfaces, shoes with rubber spiked soles will be the most comfortable. On turf wickets and where the wicket is wet and slippery, shoes with rubber soles and metal spikes in front (Half Spike shoes) are recommended for a secure grip while running, turning and playing shots.
