Can win if we get good lead - Brathwaite
Kraigg Brathwaite believes West Indies can win the Test provided they get a sizeable lead against
Bangladesh in the first innings, despite rain interruptions on the first two days.
I think we are in a good position and we can't control the weather,"
"We still have a lot of time in the game so if we can get a good lead we can back ourselves
and I can see us winning the game."

An "anxious" Brathwaite faced 11 dot balls before reaching his maiden double-hundred,
in the company of his idol Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
"Firstly I was also anxious to get a double.
The pitch was slow and it was not that easy, but Shiv was just telling me to relax
and not force it.
Obviously the the field was up, I was quite relieved and very happy.
"I've been working towards it from much before and quite happy to achieve it.
My hard work has paid off.
It was a big relief."

With so much emphasis on batting aggressively and playing at a higher tempo
in modern cricket, it is refreshing to see a young batsman standing his ground
and being the batsman he wants to be. 8)
