From the ‘next Lara’ tag to bowling swingers: Whatever happened to Darren Bravo?

In November 2010, Chris Gayle bludgeoned a famous 333 against Sri Lanka in Galle. The number would be emblazoned on the back of his shirts for years, and rightly the ‘Universe Boss’ took all the plaudits, given the fireworks on display during his record-breaking knock.

In a 196-run partnership for the second wicket, a 21-year-old Darren Bravo stood at the other end for much of this assault of the Sri Lankan attack. When he found himself on strike, he would leave, block, nudge and nurdle, with a temperament and patience beyond his years.

He was dismissed for 58 from 159 balls on his Test debut and would go on to score two more half-centuries in the series to average 68.66 for the tour.

And that the nuance of the runs he didn’t score was stronger than the actual score he score- circa fifteen to twenty
And who can’t see that is one of the great cricketing unwashed who didn’t drink with Sobie and knows very little big grin

All I get from the good doctor is a Thank You
He claimed I didn’t watch Bravs
He was in the wrong
Narps was a witness

I better call sudden to “procesute” (TM Hello Tomorrow)
Sudden is basking in the glory of locking away the good Sarge, despite protestations to the contrary by Niagara Nigel. big grin
