Quote:This was not a cause to be saved but an advantage to be strengthened. Somehow, he misread the plot; slow as the fledgling Brathwaite was, he outscored his senior partner - 82 to 50 - on the day from the same number of deliveries, 168. Like Chanderpaul's has been, Brathwaite's future is in Test cricket; the sprinkling of spectators in the stands once more clearly indicated that what it needs is a shot of adrenaline, not a dose of Valium.

I agree with Coz on this one.  There was no need for Shiv to bat the way he did.  It's these types of innings which will hasten his retirement.

watch out snoops.  Rev and Ketch comin' fuh you!

who do you think you are with such a sane opinion ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

Wrong approach for the Calypso and Rum crowd !

Brathwaite may be booed in the Future .

WIN with a day to spare and CozyUp trying to sell newspaper !

West Indies should give up TEST cricket and give Ireland the # 8 outta 10 spot .

I'm not saying he needed to go hell for leather but just to step up his strike rate into the 30's or 40's just like he did the next day.  This was Bang Bang bowling man - on an easy pitch.  No excuse.

Easier said than done ! 

He was dropped from ODI cricket : for this specific Role .

What easier said than done?  That's exactly what he did the following day!  Step up his overall strike rate into the 30's.  His strike rate the following day was in the 80's I think.  Come on Ketch.  Enough bullshyte Bro.

Snoop, if Shiv has outscored Braffy he would have still gotten cuss for putting pressure on the youngman to improve his strike rate.  In doing so Braffy might have gotten out....so cuss any which way!  8)

But that is exactly what happened the following day Googs!!  He stepped up his strike rate and everyone (team included) benefited.  Why couldn't he have done this in the last session on the previous day?  It was the same docile pitch against the same crappy bowlers. 

Anyways, y'all have my view on the matter.  Time to go seek a new pouch for my gun. ::LOL::

0k James Bond, double O pouch!
