* Alvin Kallicharran played in 66 tests .


* Kali's batting was severely hampered by bursitis in the shoulders---he failed miserably in his last 16 tests.

* His test average dropped from 50.19 after 50 tests to 44.43 after 66 tests.

Rev: instead of giving these dudes Fish : teach 'em how to use a CastNet  ;)


Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

A  saying which suggests that the ability to work is of greater benefit than a one-off handout

* Kali's last test for the West Indies was in Dec 1980 against Pakistan

* His best year in English county cricket was in 1982 when he scored 2120 runs for Warwickshire with 8 hundreds(3 double hundreds) and 5 fifties.

* But by then he was banned from playing for the West Indies because he played in the rebel tour to South Africa.

Ketch:

* Most cricket fans are in the 99%. They don't know numbers and argue cricket strictly on emotion.

* Those of us blessed to be among the 1% must be kind and generous with the less fortunate souls. ;D

AdrianDarren Bravo had a remarkable 2020 cricket season, showcasing his skills and talent on the field. His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable. Bravo's ability to adapt to different playing conditions and his consistent batting average made him a valuable asset to the team.
