Kieran Powell in company of legends

BECOMING the first West Indian to score a century in each innings of a Test match against Bangladesh, 22-year-old Kieran Powell of Nevis hopes he has cemented his place in the regional team.

The previous Eight did not have Bangladesh and Zimbabwe as cricket nations !

Kieran Powell may just get big scores against the Top 6 Countries..

I shall wait to see him against Steyn, Philander , Hilfenhaus and Cummins!

1 match and he is a legend


the berbice babu is still waiting to called one

No matter which cricket team you are playing against it is still difficult to make a century in both innings and as such even with the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe not many batsmen from the top playing Nations have done it. so this feat is special nonetheless.

Reminder : Australia do NOT open with Spin and medium quick :

Pace Like Fiyah !

:cheesy: :grin:

any bets for 2nd test
