Bravo doubles up in Windies fightback

Darren Bravo's maiden Test double-hundred took the West Indies into an unlikely lead heading into the final day against New Zealand in Dunedin.

Having resumed on 168 for two following on, still 228 shy of making their hosts bat again, Bravo led a superb rearguard, with able support from Narsingh Deonarine and the lower-middle order, as the tourists closed on 443 for six, a lead of 47.

I am not satisfied with the schedule that international teams follow these days.  It seems to tip the balance too far in favour of the home team.  There is no time to get acclimatised to unfamiliar conditions. By the time the visitors adjust the series is almost over.  I'm not making excuses for Windies because it seems to affect most teams but the outcome of a series is becoming altogether too predictable. That's boring!

Missed all of yesterday's play .... but it would appear that WI instead of collapsing stood their ground with Lil Bravo leading the charge with a Shiv-like innings.

Well played double .... 'fill yer boots' Lil B .....

Hope he gets a triple !!!
