Origin: West India 1909 when India was a British Colony. This was used in Cricket but has since fallen out of commonlyused cricket terminology. Meaning: To have an Ash Bat was to have a home made Cricket bat, commonly made oit of Ash from fires, it's not really known what was used to hold the bat together but this was one of the early types of cricket bats that were used before they started to create more solid, proper bats. It's rumoured that they used a ball of ash stuck together and left out in the sun as an early cricket ball. The Ash Bat is no longer used and it's only known to a select group of people, there is one village in India that do continute to make Ash Bats as part of the village tradition since 1909. This may or may not be true but it can be found on some documents in the Cricket Museum of India, but sometimes animal dung was used instead of Ash and left to dry out in the sun but again, it'e not documented what was used to hold the dung or ash together.
