Little fireworks accompanied West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite’s English County debut yesterday as he failed on the opening day of Yorkshire’s penultimate match in Division One.

Returning to Headingley where he scored 134 and 95 to help the Windies stun England in the second Test by five wickets three weeks ago, Brathwaite managed just 18 as the hosts reached 62 for one in reply to Warwickshire’s first innings of 219.

The 24-year-old right-hander fell in the third over before the close after adding 61 for the first wicket with Adam Lyth who was unbeaten on 35.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Paint has been failing way too much for a player with is batting attitude and skills.  what the hell is wrong...he having concentration problems ::confused::

if that is the case is is most likely  a question of physical strength..too little to sustain the drain of batting for long, long periods of time.

Brian Lara was short too but could carry on forever..but Lara who was small and frail grew into a physically strong little man.  no doubt if Lara was as frail as Paint he would not have been able to carry on as he did.

so what is the remedy ::confused::

Tobago time for about a year...in between playing, no car or lorry or taxi..no donkey cyart or donkey to ride on.  no horse either.  he have to walk and toto all he loads. 

and diet the most important p[art of the deal would be original Tobago fare:  dasheen and yam, punkin and eddoes, fish and meat..eggs.  build himself up physically strong, let mussles begin to show.  wen the mussles begin showing then we know he good

if necessary give him some protein poweer too fuh the brains..so he wun have no trouble when he begin drawing on his nervous energy.

that is what it is with Paint I believe.  he too freakin' weak and frail to support his trade ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

but also >:( >:( >:( >:(.  he shud be more physically imposing by now.  where the hell does he expect to get as frail as he is >:(

well he painted that 18 runs in 55 balls.

So his occupation of the crease is still sound.

some chris wright (fast medium) fellah had him caught by jeetan patel (kiwi Cap)

if he improves his physicality he would score faster as well.  he will find the facility to hit the dam ball more and more..more often, score more and faster.

I maintain..Paint is too dam frail..period! regardless of his style of batting but particularly because of it >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

I used to be worried about Lara because he was so small.  I saw Lara at 17-18 against Marshall and Garner and I freaked out...he was so small I thought they were going to kill him

then he began scoring big time regionally and I wondered..and by the time he made his test debut in Pak I saw a stout person... I asked who the hell was that... the lil Lara I used to know ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

and he..Lara.. never used to score that fast.  and now I saw a guy hitting the ball with shots everywhere.  when I saw the 277 I was stunned. Lara was complete..and his physicality was no longer a problem.

Paint must improve his physicality.  he is too freaking frail, physically weak. 

I was wondering why the hell he wasn't consistent, why he was failing.  it occurred to me right now now that it is his physicality.  he must build himself up or he will never achieve his full potential.

I will send Riri for the skunt to make him go lift some weights.  she is no longer there to protect the lil' skunt, to pik him up and put him on her lap, dry away his tears and rub his wounds from his latest cutarse, and soothe him. 

he have to do dat fuh his own self now.  so go eat some real food and lift weights skunt >:( >:( >:(

This was Paint's first trip to England, in swinging and seaming conditions vs 4 excellent bowlers. He did very well, considering a master like Kohli did absolute crap when he visited England. He arguably also did better than Amla, who also just visited England. And at 24 years of age, he is still one of the few openers in cricket history to have six tons by that age.

Should Paint be fitter and stronger? Yeah, sure, but you can't rush people into getting stronger. They will end up like Tino Best, all muscle and no sense or control. Kohli is 28/29 now. He was relatively skinny and weak until he was 27. Only recently has he become all muscle. I think Paint's body will peak at a similar age.

You compare Paint to Lara, who at 23 made that 277 in Australia. Do you think Lara was more fit than Paint when he made that 277? To me eyes (I'm watching the knock on youtube), their bodies look the same, though Lara definitely seems to have more energy. Is this because of diet and workout routines, or was Lara just a whole other class and style of cricketer (all aggression, but nimble on his feet, fludily slashing here and there and working the field like a balletic magician)? I don't know. I think they have completely different styles and heroes who they emulate. Lara wanted to show off. Paint wants to stay in.

I agree with you on dasheen and eddoes, though. Dasheen and eddoes fixes everything.

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.
