cricket bat

English pitch implement

A cricket bat is the flat-bladed wooden paddle used to strike the ball in cricket.

Unlike a baseball bat's cylindrical shape, a cricket bat has a flat striking surface and a rounded back, traditionally made from willow.

The bat's face must not exceed certain dimensions set by the sport's rules.
