Darren Bravo Must Have A Breakout Series Against England This Year

Have you ever heard of Darren Bravo before? He is a person that plays West Indian cricket, one of the best players in the world. He has played for many different places including Tobago and Trinidad, and was part of the One Day International cricket event a few years ago. He is very young, born in the late 1980s, and is left-handed, making his game very unique. Like all of the other players that participate in cricket, he is very determined to become the best in this particular game. He has a right arm medium bowling style, and his role when he plays the game is a batsman. He has a half-brother by the name of DJ, and is currently with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, and has very good career statistics.

What Is Cricket?

Cricket is a game that is very similar in appearance to baseball in the way that it is played. There are two teams, and they play against each other, each with 11 players. They play on a field, and there is a rectangular area where a 22 yard pitch is done. This is one of the more popular games in the world, played by over 100 million people in many different countries, making it the second most popular sport second only to football. Similar to baseball, each time that a team rotates, they are known as innings, and the goal is to hit the ball and score what are called runs. Instead of being called a baseball pitcher, they are called a bowler. And the person that is it bat is called the batsman instead of the man at bat. This sport originated in England, by many historians, back in the 16th century. After being played for a couple hundred years, it became the national sport of Great Britain, and slowly began to expand overseas. It is now played in many different countries including South Africa, the West Indies, and also in Australia. There are many rules to the game, formats of play, and of course umpires that are used behind the batsman.

Looking At His Early Career

When you take a look at his career prior to his fame with the Sunrisers Hyderabad team, it starts all the way back in 2007. He has had a first-class debut against other teams, scoring eight points, and has made well over 400 runs. All of his games are worth watching, although he does not have any statistics for a five or 10 wickets in innings or matches. Consider to be an international breakthrough, back in 2009, at Sabina Park, he was able to score 19 points from 16 balls, making this one of his better games. In the 2011 World Cup, which was hosted in the country of Pakistan, he also did very well. He scored 41 in a game against Jamaica, and has actually achieved many records, including five catches in the second inning in a game, cementing him as one of the best players in the industry.

Why He Needs A Breakout Game Against England

As with any sport that is played, there is always a need for a high level of performance in order to justify remaining on a team, and also the type of salary that you will get. Sports is all about performance, and those that have the most fans, that score the most points, and that are the best all-around players, these are the people that will profit the most. It is also about becoming a great player, remembered in history, so the combination of the two is why so many people are waiting for Darren to have a breakout game, and he really needs to have one with England.

Now that you know a little bit about Darren Bravo, you know that he will be a formidable player in the up-and-coming game with England. He really needs to have a breakout series against England if he wants to continue to grow as one of the top players. Cricket is a game where there is an age limit to how long you can play and perform at higher levels. Being in his mid-20s, he has plenty of time to develop his game, become much better all around at cricket, and will be an exciting player to watch now and in the future.

For me ... the early 'Lil Lara' comparisons haven't been justified.  Seems it went to his head and he has really fallen short of the mark .....

It's been quite a while now, so time for those comparisons to stop and Lil Bravo to step up on his own !!!

I agree Cal.  Instead of emulating the way Lara batted Darren should be emulating his thought process and mental side of the game.

Lara said that he would set himself certain minimum goals or targets before the start of every Test series.  I.e. minimum of 2 centuries or 500 runs.

Did is what Darren should be doing.  Setting himself personal targets before the start of every series.  That is how Lara maintained his very high standards right throughout his Test career.

to help lil Bravo deh shud give him his comfort zone #4.  Samules is on his way out drop him to #6 out of harms way... leaving Shive untouched at $5.  get someone for #3

I suggest a program of mental development fuh blackwood and drop him into #3 by the end of this series. 

a big step-up but so what.  he is  test batsman and we cant hide him forever.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
