Handle it with kid gloves. Opera gloves are still in style. Is there a point to wearing fingerless gloves? Golf gloves provide a good grip on the club.

Wicket keeping gloves - analogous to a catcher's mitt, these may be worn by only one member of the team, designated as the wicket keeper. It's the keeper's job to catch everything the batter misses (or gets a faint edge on), hence the padding. If anybody else wants to take a catch, they use their bare hands - another reason why cricket is harder than baseball.
Keeper's inners - these are worn under the keeper's gloves, for extra protection and to prevent the overgloves from becoming sweaty.
Batting gloves - in cricket, the bowler is actually allowed to hurt you with the ball. No free bases, all you get for free in cricket if the bowler (pitcher) hits you is a bruise. These gloves protect the hands when holding the bat, which is why they're padded on the back.
