The cricket world has been told that Darren Bravo---current test average 38.10---is the next Brian lara and the next West Indies great.
What the cricket world is now finding out is Lil Bravo has a catching phobia---he is deathly afraid of catches.

Bishoo to Laxman, FOUR, dropped and not for the first time by Darren Bravo. He can imitate Brian Lara with the bat, but his catching is not quite up to scratch. This may have dropped just in front of him, but better fielders would have scooped it. Short ball from Bishoo that just hurried in towards Laxman who was committed to the pull and couldn't keep it down. Bravo at midwicket dived forward, but could not get the fingers under it.
Oh well! Lil Bravo is set for life---with a huge test average of 38+----the man is unstoppable and undroppable.
So what if Lil Bravo floors a catch a match----he is the next WI great----that's what he has been told---and likely believes.
