Congrats on 200 runs at age 21

Only Headley and Sobers before in West Indies History  !

Shivesque  approach....... you could not choose a better Mentor !

Great work  !!  :-*  8)

65.6  Mahmudullah to Brathwaite, FOUR,

slaps a full toss through the covers to bring up a second Test hundred.  8)
Great patience, impeccable composure.

Might be his first put away off a full-toss and what a time to gift it.
 

whey dem spiteful trini

west indies always have 1 opener and a collection of pretenders...

jess twice we had good pairs of openers in all of 87 years of tes' cricket

Shiv MKII

In fact, I thought the future would have been Bharath and Brathwaite as the dominant opening partnership.

Well done young man.

I am not taking credit away from brathwaite but sometimes the instance where he scores them shouldn't be given too much credit,more than what it deserves.
1.Minnows
2.Bowling attack toothless,may be the spinners might have made a small impact.
3.Pitch not really conducive for bowling.


NO offense,this is a great attempt,but lets not read too much in to this because,this will only pamper him more and may never make him aim for greater heights.He definitely is a future material

kraigg is alright the quality of Bang notwithstanding

Kraigg has beaten eveyybody already.  the Oz and english, Pak etc he is likely to meet he beat then already at youth level

no need to carp, caution and caveat about Kraigg

I really can't talk back against the "mapuoi"..can i..?
I shut my arse and leave for the day.
No talk backs.. ...

If West Indies are to "turn the corner", they need a few more like Brathwaite. Nothing wrong with staying as long as you can at the wicket. It may not always be pretty but I will take the substance over style any day if it is effective.
