Evening all,

I was using my Erus today and things were going very well until i got a knee high full toss and I put it straight down long off�s throat, at the time i thought the bat had made a different noise to what it had been making when i was hitting the ball earlier in the innings.
When i got back to the changing rooms i discovered why there was a different noise......the bat had completely snapped across the back and around to the front.

There are no seam indents on the face of the bat, so it has been knocked in properly.

Have emailed Andy at SAF about my problem...

Here are some pics

I had a similar crack in a Salix bat. When I sent it to them they said it was a fault in the willow as it isn't meant to crack down the back, so they sent me a new one. Hard luck.

this isn't down the back, this is across the back and around to the front

Had a bat break similar years ago apart from half the bat nearly hit square leg.

Sure Andy will sort you out as was in contact re how bat was doing + this was a bat bought 12 months ago

Just a handle fault, it is always a risk when splicing that a fault line can occur, nothing wrong with the way it is made or used, just bad luck.

I did this to a charlie french of mine last year and when i took it back to them all they said was it was a faulty piece of willow, apparently for a bat to break like that is a 'once in a lifetime thing' haa
