How big can a cricket bat get?

It's the debate raging around world cricket - should a size limit be placed on bats?

And while the International Cricket Council mulls over plans to impose new laws on the issue, the governing body is ironically behind the construction of the world's biggest bat.

Like cricket's version of the Big Banana and the Big Pineapple, the giant bat, which is the same height as a an eight to 10-storey building, has been erected outside the ICC's Academy in Dubai Sports City.

Weighing 950kg, the bat is 32-times the size of anything Aussie opener David Warner and co will wield during the World Cup.

Horizontally, it measures the length of seven cars parked bumper to bumper.

And god knows how far it could smash a ball.

We just wonder where's the six stitcher.
