In his two innings in county cricket he's scored 27 and 23!!.. not a disaster but he needs to get himself at least a 50 soon, just to prove to Notts that he can contribute to the team, he'll probably get a second innings tomorrow and he usually does well in the second innings for WI, he didn't get a second innings in his first game due to rain spoiling the game.

Not good enough! But, he is still adjusting and will come good before the season ends. Bravo needs to earn his money, if he intends to play county cricket again. County cricket is not like West Indies cricket!AFRO wrote:In his two innings in county cricket he's scored 27 and 23!!.. not a disaster but he needs to get himself at least a 50 soon, just to prove to Notts that he can contribute to the team, he'll probably get a second innings tomorrow and he usually does well in the second innings for WI, he didn't get a second innings in his first game due to rain spoiling the game.

, but for real it's still early days, the most positive signs are he's hit at least five 4s per innings so far, and he's made starts, so one would assume that it's only a matter of time before he gets a big score, and he must be a lucky charm or something because Notts haven't lost a game since he went into the team

Roach should at least understand that his maximum pace should be a weapon and I hope that he increase the variety in his bowling....Roach will also be fine two years of County stint for each of these guys will be very benefical for the WI future....It's also gonna be interesting to see how Roach gets on aswell, he will either sink or swim here.

as long they keep winning they will not be hard on him but he needs a big one to build his confidence.AFRO wrote:And what makes it worse was it was WEST INDIAN Ruel Brathwaite that got him out today!!BallOil wrote:
