So sad!

He should never have been selected.

All hype..those 4 sixes weighing heavily on him..i'm sure the expectation killing him.

I'm actually sorry for him..a blessing and a curse

"From the series against England, Carlos Brathwaite has been left out. The selectors gave him the option of going to the IPL as well, which I think is a good thing. He'll get to talk to guys like Rahul Dravid, learn how to play spin, get plenty of practice, and work on his fitness and bowling."

Learn how to play spin!!! CB doesn't even know the fundamental aspect of playing spin... reading the ball out the the bowler's hands. Dravid said to Law, you take him back and teach him.

Even more amazing is the acknowledgement by a West Indies coach that a West Indies captain does not know how to play spin and has to learn.

Those two are past their prime.

u heard what the great Viv told Bish when asked about playing spin.

he just sees the ball and hit it, he never read the hand or off the pitch.

At least, those two can share (impart) their experience and offer leadership even though they've past their prime.
