Shield

If you are as obsessed (or is that sad?) as we are, you won't be able to help yourself sunglass spotting when watching cricket on TV. If you do, you will see the vast majority of players wearing wraparound shields. With good reason, they keep the eyes fully protected, whilst also providing an uninterrupted field of vision – perfect for tracking the ball in flight.

Semi-Rimless

Becoming increasingly popular, and worn by England's last two captains no less. They minimise weight, so they are good option for prolonged periods in the field.

Full-Frame

Rarely seen on the cricket pitch until recently. If this is the route you are going to take, make sure the lens is deep enough and the frame wrapped enough. This will help to ensure you only see lens and you don't get blinkered by an intrusive frame.
