ICC World Cup 2011: Darren Bravo confident of doing well
West Indian fast bowler Darren Bravo says that he is eager to represent his team in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2011 which gets underway from 19 February.
Bravo will be playing his first World Cup and is looking forward to doing well for his team. The 22-year-old will play as a one-down batsman for the Windies and he realises the importance of batting at that crucial spot.
The youngster said, “This tournament is going to be a big challenge for me but I am always someone who thinks of the positive. A big challenge equals a big opportunity.”
He further added that it was nothing less than a challenge to represent his team at the highest level, but he was looking forward to a great career ahead. He said that he was trying to cope up with international pressure.
The younger brother of Dwayne Bravo further said, “I want to keep my focus and concentrate on my role in the team and my responsibility to the people of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. We are gelling really well as a unit and I have the full backing of everyone.”
Bravo has had a very short yet promising career. The left-hander made his debut last year in November 2010 and scored three half-centuries in four innings against Sri Lanka.
He has also been impressive in One Day International cricket, scoring 345 runs from just 13 matches at an average of more than 38.
West Indies lost their three-match ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 2-0 after the first match was washed away due to rain. They have not enjoyed great success in recent times but Bravo wants to change this situation.
Batting at number three, Bravo wants to score big runs for his team in order to provide a solid platform for the middle-order. He scored his career best 79 runs in the last ODI against Sri Lanka, which was a display of some calculated hitting and sensible
batting.
Many former experts and cricketers regard Bravo very highly and consider him as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Young-c41367 Brian Lara, but he will have to do a lot of hard work in order to fill in the boots of the former West Indian great.
