Ok guys, you probably know alot more about cricket bats than I do, so I was wondering if you can tell me if these cracks a repairable, or even worth it.
Here's the story; there's a guy in my team named Frank. He's one of my friends, and he's a big islander guy who is a hell of alot stronger and taller than I am. Anyway, I let him use my bat in the nets, and after a while he gives the ball a mighty front foot cover drive that just flew off the bat, went for miles. He looks at the bat and says; "Crap, Ben, there's a crack in your bat". These are pretty large images.
Where the handle meets the blade:
Toe end of the bat, PLUS my ***y hand in the background:
The picture of the face didn't turn out right, so I'll try to get it later; there is a long, thin crack from the handle crack to the toe crack.
If you don't think it is repairable, can you recommend a good <$150 size 6 or Harrow bat? I went to a shop and the 'Little Belta' from Kookaburra( I think) felt pretty good.
