1cm wide or long? a crack 1cm wide would be like the grand canyon on a cricket bat!

1cm wide is almost 10% of the bat!


Some small opening up with the grain(less than a mm), usually just means it's opening up. A good thing,

If the crack runs down the grain you've got a potentially good bat.
If its across the grains you've possibly hit it too hard and it needs a lot more knocking in.
