Highlights

The elbow is where a rising ball finds you

Play a ball that lifts more than you expected and the bat comes down inside the line, the shoulder turns, and the ball hits the point of the leading elbow. There is no padding there and very little flesh - it is the strike that makes batsmen retire hurt more than any other on the arm.

For the leading arm

Left arm for a right-hander, right arm for a left-hander - the arm facing the bowler.

Energy-absorbing protection

Padding over the point of the elbow, where there is almost no flesh to absorb a blow.

Lightweight and breathable

Worn for a whole innings in this heat, so ventilation is not optional.

Three sizes

Boys, youth and adult.

Product description

About this product

This is an elbow guard for the leading arm, worn under the shirt sleeve or over it.

The elbow is a specific and nasty target. When a ball lifts more than a batsman expected, the bat comes down inside the line, the front shoulder turns away, and the ball arrives at the point of the leading elbow. There is almost no flesh over that bone, so a cricket ball at pace into it is severe – and it is one of the commonest injuries that makes a batsman retire hurt.

An elbow guard is a pad over that point, held on with straps. It cannot make the blow pleasant, but it turns a potential fracture or a badly damaged joint into a heavy bruise.

Ventilation matters more here than the specification sheet suggests. An elbow guard is worn for an entire innings on the inside of a bent arm, in direct sun, in Dar es Salaam heat. A hot, sweaty guard gets pushed down the forearm and then taken off – which is how batsmen end up without one on at exactly the wrong moment.

EM publish very little about this guard – no material and no left or right designation. Elbow guards are generally not hand-specific, being symmetrical pads worn on whichever arm leads, and it is sized boys, youth and adult. If the fit matters to you, tell us the player-s measurement round the elbow and we will check the stock.

Questions

Good to know

Which arm does it go on?

The leading arm - the left arm for a right-handed batsman, the right arm for a left-hander. That is the arm turned towards the bowler and the one a rising ball hits when the bat comes down inside the line.

Is an elbow guard really necessary?

For anyone facing a hard ball at pace, yes. The point of the elbow has almost no flesh over it, and a ball that lifts unexpectedly finds it regularly. It is one of the commonest injuries that forces a batsman to retire hurt.

Should it go over or under the shirt?

Either works and it is preference. Under the sleeve keeps it in place better and looks tidier; over the sleeve is cooler and quicker to adjust. In this heat a lot of players wear it outside.

Why is no material listed?

Because EM do not publish one, and we will not guess at it. If the construction matters to you, ask us and we will describe the actual stock before it ships.

How tight should it be?

Firm enough that it cannot slide down the forearm when you play a stroke, loose enough that your hand does not tingle. A guard that has slid down is protecting your forearm while the ball hits your elbow.

Do I need an arm guard as well?

They are different things. An elbow guard covers the joint; an arm guard covers the forearm between elbow and wrist. Many players facing genuinely quick bowling wear both, and some arm guards include elbow protection.

How do I look after protective gear in this climate?

Take it out of the bag the moment you get home and let it dry in the shade. Padding and straps that stay damp in a closed kit bag grow mould and rot within weeks here - far faster than the equipment wears out from use. This is the single thing that decides how long cricket kit lasts in Tanzania.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship nationwide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond. You can also collect from our shop.
