A Chanderpaul in the making ! - ketchim - 09-07-2014
The youngster shares a similar mindset and temperament with the senior pro, and has a similar
unwavering concentration at the crease

"If you play bad shots, you're going to get out,"
Chanderpaul reasoned in an interview with me a couple of years back.
"If you hit the ball in the air, you're going to get out.
If you can bat to 50, you can bat to 100.
In T20 cricket, guys just give themselves room and fire. They don't care if they get out.
This is why Test cricket will always be the ultimate;
it tests you as to whether you are a man or a boy. :-*

West Indies seem to have preserved Kraigg Brathwaite for Test cricket for the moment,
and the young batsman is showing a rare patience in modern cricket

the opening batsman's single-minded defiance, driven by unwavering concentration,
mark him as an unmistakable Chanderpaul clone. 8)

Kraigg Brathwaite has revealed that he fashions his approach off top West Indies middle-order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul.......“I have modelled my game on West Indies top order bat, Shivnarine Chanderpaul,â€
........ Source
From way back when 'Paint' said this .....he was even wearing the under eye patches like Shiv.
Well done Kraigg and who best to be at the other end than your mentor 8)

“I just like batting. I like to bat and bat and bat.
There is no secret to my concentration levels –
I don’t like getting out so I bat.â€
