It may also be used by a batter who is making ground to avoid a runout, by holding the bat and touching the ground with it. Cricket bats offer good swing speed, durability, and shock absorbance due to the way they are manufactured and the density of the English willow and Kashmiri willow. Cricket bats were originally shaped like hockey sticks dating back to 1624, but as cricket laws changed in the 1770s, the bat became more straight which would allow for more airflow, stability, and power when hitting the cricket ball.
