What do you know about cricket’s equipment? What is so special about it?

(i) Most of the tools of cricket are made of natural, pre-industrial material.
(ii) The bat is made of wood as are stumps and the bails.
(iii) Even today, both bat and ball are handmade, not industrially manufactured.
(iv) Earlier, the bat was cut out of a single piece of wood but now it consists of two pieces-the blade made out of the wood of willow tree and the handle is made up of cane.
