We assessed the conditions quite nicely, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386 – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820, as they piled a humongous first innings total of 575 for the loss of nine wickets.
Darren Bravo, the left-handed batsman, led the charge with an inspiring innings of 166 runs that lasted for about 284 deliveries. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441 thoroughly supported the youngster with innings of 86 and 81 runs
respectively.
Thrilled after scoring his second Test hundred, Bravo said, “It is an obviously a very good feeling. I thought the entire team batted beautifully and achieved our game plan. It was a decent batting wicket. Other guys understand
their roles and responsibility very well which was very important. I think we assessed the conditions quite nicely and were able to put a good total on the board.”
West Indies have already lost the Test series with defeats at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 and Kolkata, though; they’ll be looking to make amends by winning this Test match.
Bravo, who imitates the batting style of legendary batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brian-Charles-Lara-c48471, has been in great form on this tour. The 22-year-old has notched 356 runs at an average of 71.20 which includes two magnificent centuries.
The left-hander has an appetite for big runs; previously he was criticized for throwing his wicket away after reaching 50’s but now Bravo focuses on capitalizing the starts.
When asked whether his first Test century at Kolkata had something to do with this changed mindset, the 22-year-old said, “It showed me that whenever you get a good start you have to capitalize on it, because cricket is a very
funny game, when you are not in a good form you tend to miss chances. So it is very important that when you are in form you carry on. At this point of my career, I want to make full use of any starts and carry on and get as many runs as possible.”
Bravo, who has featured in 12 Test matches for the Caribbean team, expects the West Indian bowlers to build on the momentum their batsmen have provided.
