This may sounds stupid, but i had an argument with my mate about the white creamy stuff that the cricketers use on their nose and lips. He thinks that it is a thick layer of vaseline that the players use to polish the ball!!! i think its just sun cream, but i am not sure why they put on sun cream on their lips??? Anyway, does anyone know what they are??? |

| Isn't that zinc cream? There was a topic about that here somewhere. |

yeah it is sun cream with zinc inside it so it effectively completely blocks out the sun ------------- boo ha ha! |

It's zinc, and as you should know, if you're out in the sun for long periods, your lips would start to crack and maybe skin would peel off your face from the burns, so they put that on and it blocks out the sun from getting to your skin.

| I think the white stuff is the zinc :) but the vaseline is normally on the players' eyebrows :) |
