Religious artefacts

During the last Millennium many wars and major regional skirmishes were caused by the insatiable desire of Christians for Holy relics. An industry was formed during the last century by tricksters and hucksters out to decieve the public into parting with their hard earned. Recently other religions have got into the act with weeping statues and the like. Recently pot boilers have even been written by hucksters like Dan Brown trying to pass the search for relics such as the Holy Grail off as literature. And even more recently there have been sightings of Jesus Christ in cheese sandwiches, toast etc. It's complicated.

However Wickman has come across evidence of a genuine relic used by our Lord. See the nails protruding from its care worn surface once the white shroud was removed. Stuff the Holy water of Lourdes. Keep your Haj. Imagine the hundreds of Wick cricketers on pilgrimmage in the future hoping to touch this and to be inspired by the aura of The Lord.

This is, of course, the bat of The Lord. This may be the bat that has scored more runs than any other bat currently employed at The Wick. Here it is having its annual short back and sides. This, gentlemen, is what the bat of a deity is like. Remember too that it is older than many of you and if you do see it you will need to call it "Sir"...
