Unfortunately there is not much that can be done but too early to write a obituary for this bat.

 I suggest you stick this with waterproof PVA and press it overnight under something heavy. Once it sticks use the 1" or 2" bat repair tape. Keep this bat for the nets.

depends how much the bat means to you?  i would botch a repair and just use it until it completely dies.  but if you really wanted to keep it a bat maker maybe be able to carry out a decent repair.

Repairable, just send it to Warsop or Newbery, I'd forget Redback as he will be suffering withdrawal symptoms for the next week...

Depends how much you liked the bat, doubt the repair will be cheap so you may as well put it towards a new bat. You said the bat wasn't the greatest anyway....

just an update about this bat

i got it sent of to slazenger and after a fair while:( they have told me they will refund all of the money i spent (£150) on the bat:D:D  because they had found that it was a dead bit of wood or something. and that means my new bat only cost me £10
