The reason for buying a cricket bat

[Chopper3000]

It has the same potential as a gun in terms of a deterrence, plus you can play cricket with it.

Well said.

And it is cheaper too.

Parody should be left to the professionals.

I took your advice and went shopping for a cricket bat and the clerk was all "We're all out of those, can I interest you in a pair of assless chaps?"

 

[Chopper3000]

Sounds like you went to the gay american footballers shop!

Good luck when you have to fight someone with a large blade or a glock. I would rather go and register to a gun club in order get a firearm permit and later buy myself a gun

 

[D-rock]

Ummm...I think somebody with a gun would deter me much, MUCH, more than a bat.

Remember that funny scene in Indiana Jones when the Taureg guy started twirling his two long knives, preparing to slice Indy into meat Humus...Indy calmly shot his ass and went on doing hero stuff.
This silly concept of the OP brings that to mind.

No ... you need a Hurling stick :squish:

My Louisville Slugger will kick a Cricket bat's ass any time.

A flat piece of wood? It is a specialised crafted piece of willow. I'll take you on with the wager. The duel can take place in the UK where you are not permitted to have such a fire arm. The bat wins. Lunch is on you babe.

Call me unpatriotic if you like, but I fucking hate cricket.

Team A and Team B play cricket for five days. (FIVE FUCKING DAYS MIND)

Team A has a million runs.
Team B has only managed seven runs.

"Oh look, the light's getting a bit poor. We best finish. Team A hasn't bowled Team B out, so we'll call it a draw."

A fucking draw???? Piss off. I'm not watching any competitive sport for five days when there is no guarantee of a winner even if the score is a million to seven. At least the most boring football match in the world is guaranteed to end after no more than 2 hours and penalties.

Is this thread about beating people with bats?

It's a cricket bat, which looks more like a paddle, and some people pay good money for that kind of treatment.

One time someone broke into my home in the middle night and I confronted them with my cricket bat. In that split second of WTF? confusion on his part I was able to gain the upper hand, subdued him and gave him the spanking of a lifetime.

My house was broken into a few years ago as well, I didn't have a cricket bat though. I didn't need one, it was a short ass teenager, I'm a pretty big dude (6'3 240) so the little prick freaked out when he saw me walking out of my room and just scurried out the bedroom window, I heard my golf clubs knock over, he was terrified. lol

nothing more terrifying for a person than to hear a shotgun being racked in the dark.
