WESSSSSTTTTTTTTDDDDDUUUUNNNNNNCCCCCCEEEEEEE weh you deh? him come out of hiding yet since Darren mek him look like a massive SKUNT?!! :lol:

How many times did i tell you Bravo detracters that HE NEVER FAILS TWICE?!!..if he goes out cheaply in the first inning nine times out of ten he's came into the second innings and scores 40 or above, for someone so young that's a brilliant habit to have.

I hear he was in tears when he walked off the pitch, so clearly the lack of a ton was getting to him, now this weight has been lifted off of his shoulders i hope he can develop his undoubted skills and have more confidence in his himself, people aren't comparing him to Lara for nothing,

On a final note Ian Bishop almost wrote the script, when Edwards was batting in the first innings the camera went to Darren Bravo sitting in the pavilion and Ian said "this must be a kick in the teeth for Darren watching someone who many feel have less talent get a ton while he hasn't yet, surely he must take inspiration from this?" and bwoy did Darren deliver today...

GWAN DARREN!! :D .

Congratulations to Darren Bravo . I am very glad to see that he has regained confidence in his abilities . Confidence in One's abilities is very important , The West Indies Players who exuded that the most was Sir Vivian Richards . In my opinion that is what propelled him to being a World Class Batsman .

Bravo on the go is worth staying up anytime of the night to see bat . He is still very young and I have no doubt that he will soon emerge as very good Player . He has stepped upon his catching and that is very good , all aspects of Cricket which are improved obviously helps boost all facets of a Player's Game .

At this point of his career I am not really concerned about missing out on a double ton...I am more happy that he is not satisfied with reaching his ton...he shows the temparement of someone who will score a few double or even triple before his career is over... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was most impressed with the way he handled the offie against those deliveries drifting into the pads. :lol: :lol:

I hear what you saying but a double is not easy. Not to mention Windians struggle to cross this mark in general not to mention on the road (away) :) Well is more than I originally thought but still not much on the road and away list Wait, Sobers never mek an away double?
