Quote:[size=12pt]Here's how Lewis described the moment:

“I had just returned to my pitchside position after taking photos of the crowd and this was my first picture after sitting back down.

“Dwayne Bravo first fumbled the ball facing away from me but then twisted around 180 degrees and took a terrific catch.

“My focus had been on the batsman but I swiftly switched to Bravo to capture his outstretched hands as he held on to the ball. It was an amazing catch and it was great to have captured it.”[/size]

He is truly a very agile cricketer, capable of moments of great brilliance.

He seems to love a big crowd.

He certainly seems to wear his heart on his sleeve.

He has a central contract, doesn't he?

recent events on this board made me appreciate Bravo more than ever. Pollard too.

I have been disappointed because I expected more from him as a batsman over his career.

but what we have gotten given the west indian nonsense over the same time is not shabby

Well Bravo is the best West Indies fielder in the modern era of cricket. He brings energy to the field and makes fielding look fun. It is only a shame that politics made him miss the world cup.
