I stupidly used a seam cricket ball mallet when knocking in my bomber fighter cricket bat. i tried to iron out the dents, the bat looks pretty messed up and the ball is coming off as well as it used too. What should I do, get it fixed or get another bat?

radomir what did you do to the toe of the bat? lookis like it has been dipped in oil.
Consider refurbishing it, sanding it down , i think from what I CAN SEE is not that much damage just doesnt appear well looked after
Get yourself a wooden bat mallet

yeah the toe off the bad was fd up when i tried the ironing method to get rid of the dents. I accidently burned the fibreglass tape to the bat. It's nothing magor but just looks bad. What im actually seeking advice for is what i should do with the bat itself. Im going to have to get some tougher sand paper because it looks like it isn't doing enough. Or not? Click on the images to enlarge them. Their are dents from either bad balls someone used when bowling and also the cricket ball mallet, which i should have put a sock over

Yes gets some roughr sandpaper, even a belt drive sander and get it back smooth if possible.
Coat of oil and I think it should be fine. Always a good idea to remover stuff that will melt when applying heat!
