Linseed oil is the best seller for cricket bats. Remember not to over oil your bat as tis can do as much damage as under oiling!

No, just use the Cricket bat oil (you buy from Cricket stores) or Raw Linseed oil (From hardware stores)

to get a really chilled-out bat you can use lavender or tea-tree oil instead! :D

He told you linseed oil's been used for more than a hundred years, so why change now. Edited by slogger72N/O - 11 March 2007 at 7:20am |

did a bit of research for you
Raw linseed oil should be used to moisten the surface of the bat and
enable the fibres to become supple and knit together, forming an elastic surface. This is more likely to stretch on impact, rather than crack. Raw linseed oil is used, as it stays moist for longer than boiled linseed. About a teaspoonful should be applied to the surface of the bat. |

you've made your point- but I was looking forward to a more knowledgeable explanation for why only linseed oil is used

Only if you intend to add some rosemary and throw it on the BBQ, stick to the tried and true method that has being used for centuries mate.
