Several brands are known for using ash to make cricket bats, though it's less common than willow. Notable brands include New Balance and Gray-Nicolls, which have historically produced bats with ash. However, most modern cricket bats are primarily made from willow, particularly English and Kashmir willow, due to its superior performance and lighter weight. Ash bats may still be found, but they are often considered more of a niche option.

Ash or maple.
it is usually ash as is found in ordinary stumps which don't spring back because most woods cannot withstand the force of a cricket ball striking them. However for spring back stumps which are purely models such as DT projects cheaper woods such as pine are acceptable but will be unable to withstand the force of a proper leather cricket ball.
If you mean its wood, it's a very good shock-absorber used for axe and hammer handles, (historically) cart components such as frame parts and wheel spokes, and similar. Baseball bats too I gather from other correspondents! I don't know what is traditionally used in the bats for baseball's English ancestor, Rounders - ash or willow, the latter used for cricket bats.
Ash is extremely hard, this is what baseball bats are made of.
no because ash has a closer grain then maple which makes it stronger

The use of Ash Bats in the MLB are declining because of the relatively recent rise of the Maple Bat. Maple Bats have become extremely popular since Barry Bonds broke the single season home run record using a maple bat. Maple is a denser wood than Ash, so the Ash bats are more flexible and more likely to break than maple. Although maple bats are more expensive, they usually last quite a bit longer than Ash so the difference in cost usually isn't an issue.
