Is this game identical to Knur and spell? If so their articles should be merged> Ben Finn 23:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Not quite identical I think. When I played Bat and Trap (30 years ago) we used a small trap that was a simple lever, more or less a wooden spoon on a fulcrum. The ball was soft (we may have used tennis balls) and the bat was like a very small cricket bat - children could easily use it one-handed.

The description of Knurr and Spell sounds like a faster larger-scale game altogether.
