it was the first use, so could only have been 3 weeks old- a month at most, sent it off for repair about a week later, got it back after 3 weeks, then havnt played any cricket since, first net was today and the cracks came lol, thanks for the advice guys. Btw, i am pretty sure the seam marks are from when i got the bat back from repair and i bounced a brand spanking new ball on it, after about 1-2 hours of knocking it in, and bcoz its so soft i think the came from that, because from all the marks from where i hit the ball today there are no seam marks just cherries-well not even cherres just like grey shading haha

A hard Seam will always mark a bat, when the ball stops making dents it is fully hardened

Wonder if they are making bats again or still importing.

About as popular as Jeremy Hunt at the moment!

from what I have seen, James does press and shape all his bats and thanks for clearing that up Mike. Not too sure why they are so unpopular at the moment, awesome bats IMO
