[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 667682, member: 4728"] Cricket Buckle to fix a belt or scarf used to hold up a cricketers pants. Braces which were the most common means of holding up a man’s pants back in the 1800s but were considered impracticable for the exertions of cricket. Many players preferred either not to use buckles and simply tied up a scarf around their pants. W G Grace was one of those saying that he preferred not to have a buckle as the sound of of the bat hitting the buckle was too much like the sound of the ball hitting the edge of a bat. [/QUOTE]
