Wicket Keeper toby jug - H. J. Wood circa 1965

Wicket Keeper toby jug designed by Veronica Wheatland and produced by H. J. Wood of Burslem, England, circa 1965. The only fielding position in cricket that is irreplaceable, a wicket keeper stands behind the stumps. One is generally seen standing closer to the stumps while keeping to a spinner and father from the wicket when a pace bowler is running at the batsman. Also known as a gloveman, a wicket keeper is required to have exceptional hand-eye coordination to execute lightning-quick stumpings and catches apart from exhibiting great athleticism to stop the balls from going to the boundary.
