Can win if we get good lead - Brathwaite

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)
