SHIV'S GOALS VS NEW ZEALAND

Kraigg Brathwaite has alread cited shiv as his mentor !

Years ago 

* I am rooting for him to score a hundred.

* Powell is mediocre---his 35 first class average tells me all I need to know about him.

A patient batsman, who likens his batting style to Shivnarine Chanderpaul :

Brathwaite won a place in the  Under-19 squad for the World Cup in 2010 in New Zealand.

He was West Indies' leading run-scorer and overall second highest with 335 runs with four fifties.

He made the senior side in 2011, and debuted against Pakistan in the home Test series.

DAMN!

PS. Some posters have tried to derail this thread----the Rev will no longer respond to those posters---Rev only posts cricket on the Chairman's forum.

I think he has chosen a good mentor to follow, a man who values his wicket.

Brathwaite is a good foil at the top. One who would not wish to be too flamboyant. 

So 4 more runs to take down AB's record ??  ;D
