The Two Cricketeers

Gone Cricketing

Two new cricket vests in the rotation.

After playing some club-level cricket in school, I've decided create a local team. 

It's no surprise that players have been hard to find, so I'll be scouring the baseball parks this spring for potential converts.

Today From eBay

There are two particular sweaters I've been wanting for awhile, two pieces I've been hoping to come across on eBay since spotting them at RalphLauren.com in the past few seasons. Today, I purchased both on eBay for $49.85.

Up first is this argyle sweater. I enjoy the vivid color combination of green and purple, which remains understated against a chocolate brown base tone. A great blend of cotton and cashmere, it will be perfect to wear throughout most of the year.

Next comes a special take on the classic cricket sweater. A cable knit has been substituted by intricate herringbone and the collar holds several rich colors, as opposed to the traditional two-tone take. I couldn't have been happier to discover this piece in the middle of winter, as I'll be getting immediate use of this wool and cashmere blend.

Cricket in Short Supply

I'm all for embroidered shorts - lobsters, martini glasses, seagulls, etc. However, designs may go into too much detail and hold too large a scale, such as with these cricket-embroidered shorts. I've admired the game of cricket for many years and have played for the past four, but I can't imagine any such fan seriously donning these. Besides, who wants someone to look down at your shorts and jest, "Your wicket's showing."

Cricket Sweaters

I've been brushing up on my cricket skills lately and as such, I've taken a renewed interest in cricket sweaters and sweater vests. Here are several of my favorite pieces from the last few years.
