A season of first class cricket is required ASAP

We remain surprised, shocked actually, that you never shared that opinion before.

You aren't going to find form in international matches and dujon suggested a season of first class cricket before he came back.

He needs to play some regional cricket & make any adjustments that's needed to his technique.

Nothing is wrong with bravo's technique. You don't go to NZ and India and score double hundreds and big hundreds having poor technique. You don't face Aamir with a pink ball under lights and score a hundred with bad technique. Bravo needs overs under his belt away from the competition of international cricket. Nobody really gives two hoots about the PCL but it's the only place he can get practice without the pressure of an international match. Specifically his ability to rotate the strike has gone to the dogs and that is his first thing to fix

Dave Warner tried to make adjustments during the Summer, Steve Smith made adjustments, Chanderpaul made adjustments.

Rotating the strike isn't the first thing Bravo needs to fix, getting bat on ball and creating run scoring opportunities is what he needs to do first.

I agree. Ideal for bravo would have been a county stint this year but he will have to take the first class tournament here.

Does the pink ball do more than the red ball? And does the ball do more under lights?

Many complain that, while batting is fine during daylight, the pink ball moves around violently when the sun drops, particularly during twilight, thus favouring the bowlers.
