	Cricket (game) - MSN Encarta
		A cricket ball is about the same size as a baseball, made of alternating layers of cork and wool and covered by either red or white leather.
		The cricket bat is long and flat, made of willow, and is fitted with a cane handle with a rubber grip.
		Cricket grounds can be any size, but those used in professional cricket are usually between 114 m and 160 m (375 ft and 525 ft) in diameter.

		If a bat that is older than 12 months is returned, it will be considered entirley at the manufacturer's decretion, taking into account the age and condition of the bat.

	Cricket bat care advice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		By knocking your cricket bat in we are trying to harden and knit the fibrous textures of the face of your bat before we expose it to a new cricket ball being bowled at 90 mph.
		A cricket bat is designed to hit a ball in its lower middle section, between 10 to 30 cms (4 to 12 inches) from the bottom, so even though you should eventually concentrate on this region you also need to knock the entire blade in as well.
		The balanced design of a cricket bat means that this is the weakest part of the willow blade and yet is subjected to the fastest ball and bat speed at point of impact.

		Grade IV willow is normally used for manufacturing budget cricket bats which typically have a covering on the face of the bat to hide imperfections, blemishes and an irregular grain pattern, again these bat are less responsive than the higher grade willow bats and will normally be used by beginners.
		All our bats are pre-knocked in and oiled, however this does not mean they are ready to go immediately, it means the majority of the preparation work has been done but you will still need to complete the final part of the process.
		Do not over oil your bat as this will adversely affect the performance of the bat, it is important never to oil the splice of the bat as this may soften the glue round that area.

	About cricket bats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Before use, two coats of Newbery cricket bat oil (one coat is the equivalent of one teaspoonful) should be gently rubbed into the front, back, edges and toe of the blade (taking care to avoid the splice), 24 hours apart.
		The bat should be struck with gradually increasing force in all areas where one would normally expect to hit the ball although the edges or toe should never be struck at right angles as this would be likely to cause damage.
		The blade of the bat should, periodically, be rubbed down with fine sandpaper and a light coat of Newbery bat oil reapplied in order to keep the surface supple and prevent the bat from drying out.

		To a large extent, the effective life of your bat is determined by the thoroughness of your knocking in process.
		Place the toe of the bat in a woodworking vice, being careful to cushion both sides of the blade to prevent damage.
		Polyarmour bats or bats with face tape do not need oiling other than perhaps a very light coat to the toe to avoid water getting in and causing the wood to swell.
