HEADLINE: ‘I think he’ll be world class’ - Brathwaite predicts bright future for Chanderpaul

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite believes his new opening partner Tagenarine Chanderpaul is well on the way to becoming a world class player, following an impressive debut last month.

The 26-year-old Chanderpaul, the son of legendary West Indies player Shivnarine Chanderpaul, earned plenty of plaudits after beginning his senior career against top Test team Australia last month. 

On debut against the Aussies, Chanderpaul scored 160 runs, which was the second most behind the in-form Brathwaite, and had a top score of 51.  In addition to his scoring, however, the player's relative comfort against top-class bowling on a good pitch was also of note.

“I think he’s world-class, when you even look at a thing like the ‘leave alone’ that he has,” Brathwaite told member of the media, ahead of the team's tour of Southern Africa.

Do they teach the English language in Titland?

Bobo never said Tage is world class becos of his leave alone, did he?

He said and I quote, “ when you even look at a thing like the ‘leave alone’ he has”

Doesn’t that suggest that there is more that he took into account

Tits are jealous of Guyanese. No other reason for such dishonesty

This is missing from all but a few in the WI. The first chance you get to bat at the top of the order is fast bowling. You handle that, your eye will be in and you build from there. To many of our players can't get past that point.
