In pics: Joel Garner’s size 15 boots and much more at Somerset Cricket Museum

Somerset Cricket Museum better known as Priory Barn Cricket Museum in Taunton has plenty to offer for cricket fans, who love their history.

The cricketing world still fondly remembers the West Indies pace battery. It simply revolutionised the game and Joel Garner was one of the torchbearers of that pace battery. His size 15 boots still are a point of wonder amongst those who visit the museum. @Aditya Bhattacharya


While the bats and the game in itself has gone through a change, the gloves too have seen their share of changes and improvements. The museum at the Somerset, which is located in the ground itself, has that evolution on display. @Aditya Bhattacharya
