Cricket Bats

Modern And Old Cricket Bats

Modern cricket bats are manufactured and made with specific wood types like the English and Kashmir willow.
Willow wood type is used becuase of the nature it contains. The williow wood can be shaped easily and has close grains which enables the wood to take knocks without breaking and chipping whilst using the cricket bat in matches and practices. That is the main reason why Willow wood is used to produce and manufacture the cricket bats.

Modern cricket bats like shown in the picture above are customised and personalised with multi coloured stickers and logos that represent the companies logo and name that 

has manufactured the bat. Each company that manufactures cricket bats have their own trade mark stickers of their logos and slogans that they portray on the cricket bats.

The picture above shows and represents my personal cricket bat that i use in indoor practices as well as for matches outdoors in the crikcet grounds.

This image on the left hand side shows how cricket bats use to look like when cricket was first founded and played many decades ago.

This picture shows how cricket bats have developed since they were first invented and made.

The first cricket bat that was made is the first hockey look a like stick on the left in this picture and then it shows how cricket bats progressed and looked after the first one was manufactured.

Cricket bats in the early days of cricket were completely simple and plain. They had no stickers or any sort of colour on them. The bats looked like the ones shown in this picture on the left. They looked brown and boring compared to the modern cricket bats that have white wood colour and also have colourful stickers that visually make the cricket bats look attractive and good looking. 

Before whoever use to make the cricket bats obviously didnt have much technology as there is now days, as the companies that manufacture cricket bats have techonology and machinery that designs and applys the stickers on the wooden cricket bats itself so in a way manufacturing of cricket bats has change massively since the early days of cricket bat production.
