Cricket bat
A cricket bat is used by the batsmen in the sport of cricket.
This specialised bat is shaped something like a paddle with a flat side and shallow V shaped side, the flat side is used to hit the ball. The bat is traditionally made from willow and incorporates a wooden spring design where the handle meets the blade. The rules of the game limit the allowable size for a bat as not more than 38" long and the blade may not be more than 4.25" wide. Bats typically weigh from 2lb 8oz to 3lb though there is no standard. The handle is usually covered with a rubber or cloth sleeve to enhance grip and the face of the bat may have a protective film.
