Wiping wet rubbers during a match

Wayne Sy Asked 12 years ago

Hi there coach, I have problems in wiping my rubbers when wet. My hands tend to sweat a lot which makes my rubber wet. Wiping the rubber is my next problem because my entire body sweats a lot too which makes my shirt and shorts wet. So I can't wipe my rubbers on my shorts or shirt. What should I use in wiping my rubbers? thanks in advance

Hi Wayne,

I think the best solution is to keep a towel handy just for this purpose.  Do not use this one for wiping yourself down.

You are only supposed to use a towel after every 6 points but if you show the umpire that you need to wipe your bat down because of excessive sweat they will usually allow you to do so.
