LiL Bravo : put hand up today ??

a slower delivery used by his brother all de time

and Parnell knock out him stump.

Pre-meditated swing was toooo early  >

maybe I am being harsh ....we are a # 8 ranked squad  :-[

and we play like one

I just dont get "pre-meditated" shots.

Since primary school I was Coached to play Ball after it is released

and keep EYE on ball...

***sigh***

Yes, he literally can't bat.

I've been saying this forever. He has 2 and a half shots: an off drive and an occasional cut or lofty forward drive.

He is too preoccupied with poise and technique. He needs to loosen up, move more (especially to his left, before each delivery), nudge the ball more and play more instinctively and aggressively. He premeditates to a fault, and deliberately omit too many shots for fear of getting out.

Whom can recall the reason for him NOT playing WC T20 ?

His given reason.

"However, I'm of the firm belief that I have a very big part to play in the resurgence of West Indies

cricket in the longer formats of the game and I will like the opportunity to play in our

Professional Cricket League beause it will put me in good stead and will allow me to achieve

those goals that I have aligned myself for the year 2016 and beyond." ..

Phil should have see Rudi, our sports Psychologist.

There is a Cure for Fear 

I like his plan BUT Darren just dont gat it !

close resemblance to BCL : will be his fame  :-[

Phil can't bat either. Phil probably in awe of Bravo's batting abilities.


He's too afraid of looking ugly. He needs to move more, fidget more and loosen up, the opposite of all our other batsmen. The speed of T20 will actually work well for him. He should play more of it.

It's annoying, because he's obviously focussing very hard and diligently on his game. I've never seen a man look so constipated.
