Interesting points. A simple question from me.

Who has been working with him on his development as a batsman since his elevation to the international stage? For example, his home country produced two of the greatest test openers in modern history.

It's clear that his game is not suited to being a senior opening partner and a 35 ave is far from world class. Historically speaking, batsmen who fail to top 40 having played 20 tests never do.

Can he somehow buck that trend :?:

After 96 test matches, and given his record over the past couple of years, the subject of Kraigg Brathwaite's batting now seems to be well worth revisiting.

The figures - and the visual evidence - are alarming.
