Bro, I'm Bajan as well.
Braffit is mediocre.
Having a zillion tons pre his 19th birthday does not mean squat.
Braffit technique is the main issue.
Every batsman has a get-out ball when he starts his innings.
Ergo, he should capitalize on bad balls.
I have watched Braffit poke bad balls repeatedly.
He bore bowlers to death.
Braffit was about to be dropped before Holder et al withdraw from the Bangy tour amid health fears.
He got lucky, because of Mayers, Shakib's injury and the stars aligned.
His luck continues today.
His double against the Bim's 'B' team is nothing.
I wish Braffit all the best, but he is and will always be mediocre at international level standards.
Similar to Junior Murray, Devon Smith, Rangy Nanan, Nikitte Miller, and Clive Butts, to name a few.
It's about time you stop defending Braffit, as you are obviously BIASED.

Lol bajans taking on this mediocre thing... everything that the poster said is true.
Imagine a dude played 98 test matches and barely averaging 33, yet people got issues with someone calling him a mediocre batsman.
Then again that's the new standard in Bim... in some of dem eyes he's the greatest opener to ever play the game.. GOAT

It is easy for you and others to go low, I get it.
I hope as a parent you will teach your children about using words that will build others up, not tear them down.

This post lost my attention when folks started to mention Sars and Paint in the same sentence... If it wasn't for injuries Sars would've probably had 50+ Avg. in Test and ODIs...

How is that going low? Champ get your emotions together.
This got nothing to do with Kraigg personally. Everybody here is talking about his performance as a player, which is mediocre.

How can a guy with 33 tons be mediocre, he may not be your favourite player, but to represent his country and the region tells the world the guy is among
the top players from around our region.
I saw Easton MacMorris, not once being in the Kensington stand where this type of word was used, he was not successful at the international level, that goes for every player that failed at the international level.
Who are you comparing Kraigg to in the region, Let's start there.

All of our current test players are mediocre... if you consider a guy who is struggling to average 35 after 98 test matches good then kudos to you.
To me that's mediocre. Doesn't have anything to do with someone personally or whatever they're doing. It's just plain facts.

They are not.
How many of us played the game and have yet to represent our Island?
Only a selected few reach that level, to call players mediocre speaks about the person, not the player.
They a youngsters playing for Barbados now, I can feel the love from his grandmother for him, and I am 4000 miles away.
No player representing his Island/country should be called mediocre, he/she has reached a level to be selected, that millions of us have not.

Mediocre is not only the standard for Bim, it's the standard for all caribbean cricketers. Including the great muddies.

Champ you're in such a hurry to defend your homie that you clearly missed where I said that all of the current test batsmen from the region are mediocre.
Least yuh could do is read lil before yuh comment.

Owww Slippy... I know it's Friday but like yuh knocking some hard stuff already?
You don't agree that Kraigg is the GOAT for openers in the region? Just look at those numbers, 33 FC tons and a million U19 ones

Ouch. Harsh but many times we take one aspect to make a player we support, great, without looking at the full aspects of such player.
As for KB I think he's lucky to last so long on the tram. Others would have and were dropped. To me Kraigg these last three years have come out looking positive when a dropping seems near only to show signs of why he should be dropped a few games later.
To me before he went to shirt number 11 he played a lot better
You are normally a poster of sound reasoning, in this case, reasoning has left you.

Bro. Aside from his last innings against Pakistan and the 2nd innings of the 2nd test against Bangladesh at Sabina in December, when has Kraigg Brathwaite ever played any differently than he always has?
FYI he’s played 189 innings for WI

Might it be that Kraigg's batting PHILOSOPHY (dour and obdurate) is what is causing him to attract the label of being mediocre?
How many years, better yet matches, has KB been a first class opening bat to have now gotten 33 FC 100's?
At the international level, how has he fared as an opening bat?
When compared to his contemporaries as opposed to generational WI opening batsmen, how does he stack up? (It is the general consensus that batting standards have fallen in the Caribbean)
