Everyone seems to have forgotten that little statistic! Wasnt it also in a second innings to save a match that was all but lost? Isnt it a bit funny that at 37 Roach could return to be a hero but at 35 Bravo was too old to contribute? Also Carty and Athanaze still do not have a century between the two of them in test cricket. An in forrm Bravo plus and in form Hope would probably have done wonders for our fragile batting line up. Ah well.

Why are we mentioning Bravo in our conversation when he does not even play for TNT!

Do the 2 conkies I ate count as a double?

The way I look at it is when Darren Bravo made his double century against NZ ,it was his 26th test match and he actually reached 2000 test runs during that innings.His batting average prior to the innings was 42.60.In other words he was a highly successful test batsman who could reasonably be expected to play such an innings.

Greaves was in his 12th test match and had a test batting average of 21.45 and 429 runs.


It is like somebody said to me that Ambrose took 7-25 with a spell of 7-1 was much greater than Shamar who took 7-68.Ambrose was already an all-time great test fast bowler while Shamar was in his second test match

Darren was treated very badly

Bravo should still be playing
