The edge of a cricket bat.
Pretty obvious it refers to the edge of a cricket bat in context. I've added another cricket sense "A shot where the ball comes off the edge of the bat, often unintentionally" with a Usenet citation, can be cited using Usenet alone providing you accept three apparently unrelated citations from the same group.
