Can a duck-billed platypus be used as a cricket bat?
No! Although that duck-bill does look like it could smack a six off even Brett Lee’s bowling, you can’t use them for cricket. They are not only a protected species, but the males also have a venomous spur on their heels, which could leave you in a lot of pain if you tried to use them in a game of Twenty20. It’s much better to stick to a traditional willow bat.
