How cricket bats are carved from willow wood?

Cricket is not a popular sport in the USA and in fact, in many other countries too. But in countries such as England, Australia, South Africa, India and New Zealand, it is very popular.
I don’t really know this sport and I’ve got some difficulties to understand its success in the countries mentioned above so I won’t try to explain you the basics or talk about cricket in general, this is not the purpose of this post.
Instead, I will show you how cricket bats are made from willow wood, from the tree to the final result – cricket bat.
