And some folks were criticizing Hope for striking at 70.

Would love to see what they have to say about Darren Bravo now.

And, Bravo's career strike rate is 69.

Wasn't that the argument made to drop Hope, or at least not bat him at 3?

Would love to see the Trinis come out and defend Bravo.

Btw, hope averages 41 in odis. And struck at 75 today.

Oh, and btw, he was dropped twice en route that painstaking 19

To be fair, it was his first game back in WI colors in 2 years though...i suspect nerves, pressure et al played a part.

Pow­ell said the squad had worked hard in prepa­ra­tion since the end of the Test se­ries and were well-oiled for the tough se­ries.

Not buying this. He played the T20s against India, so has been around the team set-up.

If he's not ready, he shouldn't play. Simple.

This was Bravo's first game on return from his hiatus.

Please, give him some time to return to his former glory days.

He played the T20s as well. He really needs to step up, else there's a big number 3 problem

PIGS PIGS PIGS!
Immediate gratification, McDonalds Junkies.
Maybe he shoulda Cow Lash (with brute force and ignorance) like Alvin Hetmyer rather than try to get the rust out of his system. This is not one tip two tip like 20X20.

Neither is it village back street ball play that the Sarge was glorifying based on the Trini village newspaper that was carrying as headlines Bravo’s great feats against third street inVillage.
Can’t play village cricket and walk straight into international competition

Then again, people like y’all and the roly poly Bajan are programmed like robots to defend donkeys at the top and knock cricketers like the best keeper in the region,by far. Bravo the only one of two established class in WI.

Maybe y’all should take a cutlass and go weed cricket field bush to contribute meaningfully to WI cricket.
Then again, Brian de Best, Prump de best, Ramdi de ****etc.
Secret; if you repeat it enuff, you might think it is the truth as the rest of the world laughs at YOU,

Lol lol, well if is one thing, I can't be accused of being one sided. Who is regular on here already know my views on this topic.

I'll repeat it, we not going to win no ODI cricket with Hope, Bravo & Samuels in the same team. There is only room for one. And seeing Shai Hope averages 40, he's the logical choice to stay.

I done. You all think we still playing ODI cricket of 15 years ago. Bangladesh walk to that 190 while we struggle to get there.

We need more Pooran type players in the team. Bravo bat to not get out, it's what he's been doing for all of his career. You all only now seeing it? Stewppssss. Selfish Cricket aint winning you one day cricket. It will work great in Tests for us.
