Funny cricket bat stories

[billysixbats]

Has anyone got any funny, weird, and downright silly stories or anecdotes of people using cricket bats in a non-cricket environment?

The best two will feature in a book proposal I am preparing on cricket bats. If the book is commissioned there will be a sprinkling of these throughout the book, with a credit to the source.

Gillespie's Wooden Horse?

Only a bowler could treat his bat with such respect! Could it also be symbolic of him getting a stiffy on reaching his 50...

He is reprising a sceme from Happy Gilmore, which happens to be one of the funniest sport movies ever made.

Jason Gillespie has batted well for many occasions. The way he celebrates is so funny in your picture. I saw it for the first time.

In 1983 a Judge in Aylesbury Crown Court sentenced a man to 7 years imprisonment for smuggling £190,000 worth of heroin into the country in some cricket bats which were in his wife's luggage
