ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — Fast bowling legend Sir Curtly Ambrose has singled out interim Captain Kraigg Brathwaite and off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall for special praise, following their superb contributions on the final day which helped West Indies win the second Test against Bangladesh last Sunday.

Brathwaite drew plaudits for his inspired field settings, rotation of bowlers and overall decision-making, which also saw him snatch three wickets in an inspired spell of off-spin.

Meanwhile, Man of the Match Cornwall grabbed four wickets and three sharp slip catches as the Caribbean side produced a magnificent effort to stop Bangladesh from reaching an uncomplicated target of 231 in Dhaka.

“I thought the captaincy was good. Kraigg Brathwaite, he was innovative, rotated his bowlers quite well, and he followed his gut feeling from time to time and generally, as a West Indian, I am happy for the guys,” Sir Curtly said here during the ongoing Super50 Cup, for which he is a member of the television commentary team."

Am I the only person concerned about Kraigg's bowling action?

No negativity at this time my brother, let us spend a little time enjoying the victory and the victorious captain.

In reply to Dukes

i dont know whether concern is the right word.

Bobo pelts big time if not all the time. he should bowl himself limitedly

In reply to Dukes

Yes.

If Kraigg is kept as captain, he will be bowling a lot more, that if the ICC do not suspend him for his action.

In reply to dayne

He knows when to bowl.

In reply to Dukes

No, when I saw him, I thought his action was reminiscent of Marlon Samuels'. Both would have looked very much at home in a mango walk!
