Cricket bats are an important piece of cricket equipment. Many cricket fans argue on this point. If there has been no cricket bat, then runs could not be scored. Moreover, there will not be any war between batter and bowler. In fact, the cricket bat has greatly influenced the game over the years. Thereby, we thought that we would delve deep and know about the evolution of cricket balls.

Modern day cricket fans will likely recall the first mention of a cricket bat in 1624, which back then more resembled a hockey stick. The story details the unlucky fate of a fielder who was fatally struck in the head as a result of a batsman's attempt to prevent him from catching a ball he'd obviously popped into the air.

Post that fatal incident, there were numerous deadly events, which involved cricket bats. One such fatal event took place in December 2007.

These were primitive times for the sport, when bowlers threw underhand and there were no standards and regulations to define what materials could be used and what the size and dimensions of a cricket bat should be. Today, those dimensions are strictly regulated, with a bat's blade having to be no more than 108 mm wide and a total length of 970 mm or less.

Regarding the weight of the cricket bat, there is no stern guidelines even today. However, generally, it weighs between 1.4 and 1.4 kg. Any stranger will consider the cricket bat as short oars of paddle. However, the modern design of the bat requires a lot of craftsmanship, engineering and science.

The establishment of willow as the wood of choice used to make cricket bats began in the early 1800's, when round-arm bowling became the rule rather than the exception. This is the same wood whose bark powder has been touted throughout history as a remedy for fever. Today, a special hybrid of "cricket-bat willow" is cultivated specifically for producing bats.

willow is a famous and lightweight wood, which does not get rotten easily. It has special qualities that make it apt to be used for the manufacture of cricket bats, as bats are used to whack harder balls that travel about 90miles per hour for 100 meters. With the continuous evolution in the design of cricket bats, manufacturers have recently developed carbon.

A new bat is a piece of cricket equipment that requires a little preparation to prepare it for daily use. Professionals usually treat a bat once a season with linseed oil and "knock-in" the lower six inches of brand new bats with a soft mallet at a 45-degree angle to compress the fibers and strengthen the wood gradually before facing bowlers with it.

it is very simple to look after cricket bat. The most significant point is that the bats should not be stored in areas where it will get dry or just beside a heat source. In fact, the bats should be kept in cool and dry ambience, where it can 'breathe' in a little moisture.
