Darren Bravo ODI average in a free fall

[The Black Prince]

WICB putting too much pressure on these promising youngsters by getting rid of the seniors.

WI batsmen all look like zombies at the wicket!

Shiv said it:

TOO MUCH INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE COACH.

The players are not allowed to play their natural game.


RE: DARREN BRAVO

The pressure of batting at #3 is getting to him.

He had an excellent series in Sri Lanka---averaged 67+ in tests and 42 in onedayers---but since then he has failed in both tests and onedayers.

P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E!!!

And the man most equipped to handle pressure---THE TIGER---has been DISCARDED.

BUT WEST INDIES CRICKET MOVING FAHWUD.

Mapoui,

Give what up? come on man, look at my lead thread... I'm looking for answers.

What is going on with this youngster? is he lifting too much weights?

Bravo looks pretty at the wicket but he lacks production lately. Bravo will get a good run like Devon but why is he regressing? What is Dessi and Gibson doing to help him?

I dont know if allyuh applying allyuh experience to this issue. there is no set rate of progress of internationa cricketers. there is no set rate of progress for anyone at anything.

the rate of progress for anyone at anytihing they do in life is dependant a hole lot of factors including their own internal clock and a host of external factors over whcih they have no control.

westindies have little to celebrate at the moment..indeed for 15 years and countin. Bravo appears like a shot out of old westinfdian excllence and immediately all expect him to be churning out tons in all levels of the game.

well this is how I know cricket to be..always was and espceialy currently....

all teams have video of others teams and experts to analyise their style and peronality emotional make-up of all the players that make up a team party...and how they function as ateam....in order to devise he means to defeat them, to get them out.

the OZ were the best in hat for years and years. now all teams do it. Bravo for example comes onto the scence and scores, and is recognised by westindies opposition as a focus. what do they do by work out Bravo totall and challenge him where he is weakest, giving little of his strenghts to feed off.

this is trhe nature of cricket...indeed any sport in the world..high levels of sophistication in all aspects of any game have been developed. westindies as has been exposed lags far behind in all of this..behind all cricket countries.

so when lil Bravo is challenged by the rest of the world who have studied him minutely, comprehensively, and have worked out ways to defeat him...is he on his own when itr comes to develioping a response. in detecting what may have been developed to attack him at the crease and how he can respond positively?

this is what has happened to Bravo at #3. he is under full and taol attack in the way I have described and he is having difficutly responding. and he apparently has no help for Haynes is a batting consultant I have come to understand, not a batting coach.

[mapoui]

as a batting consultant apparently haynes role is far different from that of a coach helping out and developing the technique of current westindian batsmen

[mapoui]

Jala I dont want to get into a frame of calling yu names due to th general idiocy of your posts and responses to other peoples comments

but your comments on this post here about lil Bravo is really ridiculous yu know. maaan!

DARREN BRAVO

The pressure of batting at #3 is getting to him.

of course the pressure is getting to him. he one, is the one with the pressure to score, the pressure of expectation when the world has responded to hsi appearnae and is focused on defeatuing him

this is westindian batting at the momen...Sars..deadl;y form, Shive...same thing...Sknash..same thing...Samuels apprently now running into some kind of form...Simmons..shot his bolt..appaently the opposition has figured him out too.

Big Bravo always plays the arse at the crease! Kirk Edwards like Devon Smith are out of it. Gayle is not in the side. Darren Sammy is technically flawed as a batsman. Baugh is a fool of a cricketer.

all fell down on the head of Lil Bravo due to his early flourishes. and the oppsotion responded as we shud have expected,,with focus and analysisto defeat the kid. a

nd lil Bravo clearly has no assistance from the westindian braintrust in devising a respone to what is now thrown at him by the teams we are playing. Gibbo and dem just wind him up and send him out to bat. dats it!

thats why I plead for them to drop him down the order, so with that pressure off he may see his way clear to understand whats going orn and to develop a positive response on his own..which is apparently what he has to do

[mapoui]

I have made the same argument for shive and sars. these are fine proven players who are out of form. but they have done enuff to be given every possible chance to regain their form and careers.

This thread is not about Shiv and Sars. Both Shiv and Sars average 40+ in tests and onedayers. If they were to be discarded by the WI selectors today, they would have have had good careers.

We're talking about Darren Bravo.

Yes he is incredibly talented, but with a 37.30 first class average after 5 years in cricket one must not expect too much from Bravo.

Bravo has been told that he will be the next WI great and the next Lara-----the truth is Darren Bravo will be lucky to be the next sarwan---averaging 40+ in both tests and onedayers.

THIS AN IMPOSTOR ALLYUH KNOW. MY IMPRESSION OF THE BP FROM THE START IS DAT HE WAS A SMART MAN, WHO KNEW HIS CRICKET!


THE WAY THIS BLAC PRIMNCE HAS BEEN GOING FOR THE LAS' LIL WHILE I DONT KNOW IF ITS THE SAME PERSON I USED TO KNOW AS BLAC PRINCE.
CAREFUL ALLYUH

[BallOil]

Bravo doh even bat at #3 for Trinidad...

[The Black Prince]

CAPT SAMMY ON DARREN BRAVO'S LACK OF FORM

Another on-field concern for West Indies is Darren Bravo's form. His career has just started but the expectations are huge. The West Indian journalists grilled Sammy about Darren Bravo's lack of runs. "Darren, maybe, is going through a bit of patch now," Sammy said. "We have all seen what he can do. In Sri Lanka he was our best batsman of spin. I am confident that Darren will come good. Maybe we could adjust the batting line up, put Sarwan up at No 3 or something. These are all scenarios we can put forward. Hopefully whoever gets that position can go out there and do good."

Sammy on bravo

Mapoui would be pleased to see Capt Sammy suggest that Sarwan replace Darren Bravo at #3.

Clearly Darren Bravo cannot handle the heat and the pressure at #3


RE: SHIV

The selectors and coach Gibson are ashamed to bring the discarded Shiv back into the odi squad----they will persist with the young shitbags.
