Hi all,
I saw this on another forum.
I've personally never seen damage like this, anyone got any ideas how it could have happened?

Knocking in the stumps with the face of the bat?
-
Could be just waterlogged, like the wood has somehow been over saturated
-
Either hitting stumps into the ground with the face, or used when (very) wet I'd guess.
Now bat required...

Don't say another word! Those first words were like a spike through the heart!! :(
Can nobody stay faithful these days....you men are just all alike! You use us and then your roaming eye takes over ;)

Only times I have seen that sort of damage is when the bat face as been used as a hammer

that could quite possibly be reply of the year, outstanding from you Hosk.
By forum i meant another social media platform, not a Cricket forum as per say so you are safe
Thanks everyone for the replies so far, I have sent to a number of bat makers as well so hopefully they can shed some light as well

Looks like someone may have tried knocking it in with a hammer!
-
Looks so random!
-
ive seen something like this before (thankfully not on one of my own). i think it was a mixture of not properly knocking in a bat and netting against some very low quality balls. from memory it was almost like a mixture of cracking and delamination

I had a Kashmir scoop when I was a kid that this happened to.

Doesnt look to be Kashmir, what caused yours to do that?
-
No idea, can't tell if it had an effect on performance either as it went like a door panel from ball one.
-
Did the bat get soaked in water or something ???
-
Mate of mine had this after using a newish bat after storing a shed through the winter, i put it down to water damage
