Cricket

I am not sure if this should be in the sports or gardening/farming section so if the mods want to move it around I will be OK.

I have decided that I need to buy some wicket keepers pads but not for sports.

I do a lot of gardening work over 4 rai using my strimmer which spins anti clockwise.

I wear trousers and rubber gumboots but quite often the blades pick up stones and due to the direxction of the spinning blades my left shin and knee is getting a lot of battle damage and to be honest it dam_n well hurts.

I also wear safety glasses

I suspect that if I only use the one pad it will be fine as the right side gets very little shrapnel.
