edge

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.

have an/the edge on

To have an advantage over someone or something; to be in a more favorable position than someone or something else. I think I had an edge on her in the race because I'd been training harder. Backinstadiums (talk) 09:33, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
