Originally posted by Robtardcricket bats these days are like golf clubs all inserts and special handles, weighted backs and special would for the sweerspot a cricket bat obviously hits a ball harder and further. Cricket pitches have much longer boundaries. That said give me a club to hit a person, a cricket bat is to heavy for that. A baseball bat is a million times more wieldly and useful. Bb everytime.
What's a better tool for bashing people, a cricket bat or baseball bat?

They used to be solid wood though, yeah?
Originally posted by Robtardstill wood but they have always had a complex construction. An auntie called Dennis killed used an aluminium one in the 70's that got banned because it deformed the ball. A hook shot provides a lot more impact than a Baseball hit.

Originally posted by Robtardyeah, it's the same with cricket bats different weights for different people. I enjoy Baseball but the variety of strokes are limited due to the relatively limited delivery of a non bouncing pitch. Although the spin some of those pitchers can get on a ball is boggling some of them are very skilled. One of my fave biographies of recent years is ARod. Now there's a boy!
Really depends. The larger all wooden ones can be fairly heavy, they come in different weight classes and sizes.Though even a lightweight hollow all aluminum (aluminium to you Brits) bat could still brain a person.
