Next they will start outlawing baseball bats, or similar club-like appliances. Lengths of pipe, anybody?

At least baseball bats wouldn't be a problem in Britain, since no one there plays baseball.

Ah, but a cricket bat, swung edge-on, rather than flat-on as in the game, is surely more deadly than a baseball bat (comparable momentum concentrated on a smaller area).

Au contraire.

(From the British Baseball Federation website):

The leaders of the new World Baseball Softball Confederation
(WBSC), an organisation formed by merging
the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) and
the International Softball Federation (ISF),
presented their unified vision for the inclusion of
baseball and softball in the 2020 Olympic Games.
