CENTURY to Kraigg Brathwaite! 100 - 127 balls, 167 mins, 7x4, 1x6.

In reply to Narper

I think this idea to include him in the RS50 was a stroke of genius! This will be one surefire way for him to improve his strike rate in Test cricket while showing that he is able to hold the innings together in an ODI.

In reply to Narper

Just another ton, that's the norm.

Where is this Devin at with his banter, hope he is not hiding....

In reply to Narper

Devin soon come say that 100 off 127 at this level against a bush league team is too slow

In reply to Narper

Congrats I see that he heard the many criticisms of his lethargic batting and upped the ante to a respectable 79 s/r. That is what I am talking about...Never mind is ICC Americas, runs is runs as they result in confidence and good form.

That's the way to dominate,if yuh very good you can do that,if yuh can't then yuh very ordinary,like the rest we see every match.

Big fan, a regional and (record breaking) domestic ton machine.

(Has now has to bring that International avg. to at or above 45..... has youth on his side to do so...)

In reply to pelon

KB will get that average above 45 in the not too distant future and he will play lots of ODI's...He is that discipline!

Brilliant stuff from KB. No doubt about it, he's ready for Starc, Rabada, Abbott, Steyn, Shami, Bhuvi, Ashwin, Jadeja, and all the English blowhards.

shouldn't you be licking and liking kohli's shoes??

In reply to Devin

He was preparing for the world's best when he was a teenager, I always look at the two U-19 tons he scored at the international level, and who there were against
You can demeaned his performance all you like, but scoring tons will continue to be a habit, and there will be against every world class team, and against every world class bowler

Keep dreaming buddy. Before the series vs Pakistan on those deadbeds, what was he averaging in Test cricket? 33?

He has played 7 ODI'S against the three weakest ODI sides. He averaged 31 with a strike rate of 58.

Listen, Kraigg has glaring technical flaws and very limited ability. Hard work alone won't take him very far. Most quality bowlers know where to bowl to him.

Kraigg is dominant at the regional level, similar to Devon Smith and Stuart Williams. But on the international scene, he has shown a glimpse here or there that he can survive and bat long, not much else. In fact, I doubt anyone here can see any noteworthy improvement from the time he made his debut almost six years ago.

In reply to Devin
All of our current players have deficiencies but it is up too each player and team management to work to correct those flaws. I no Kraig fan but lets not be critical but rather lets encourage because these are the blocks that the team needs if its ever going to get close to the top, again.

In reply to openning

How many tons now....including backyard ones....i know yu keeping count

In reply to openning

If that was the case his averages wouldn't be lingering below 40 at the international level....and I am not demeaning his performance, just asking that he perform this same way on the step up in class

In reply to Devin

You need to remove your hands from in front
of your eyes to see improvement.
You are being negative for the sake of it.
100 off 127 is a great improvement.
Kohli averaged a baker's dozen
in England the last time but I'm sure he'll do
better the next time. And that's great too man

In reply to Narper

Dessie comes to mind

In reply to Devin

I tell ya boy you don't hide your inconsistencies.

Average never mattered until Kohli join the 50 club. I wonder what will happen if he return to de 40ies.

In reply to Narper

As I stated earlier tons is the norm, doubles and a few triples is what I am looking forward to see

In reply to Rastaman

Yes

But also Dessie had world class batting partners
