Brilliant news for the yute!!, and after his decent returns in the last four day competition plus he's scores for the A-team and Wi u19s respectively it's no surprise to see him involved now!!, hopefully he won't be too nervous and just go out there and play his normal game, out of all our batting prospects i.e Darren, Hughes, Alleyne, Barath etc i've always believed Kraigg could be the best of the lot,
Some skunts were saying "we shouldn't change a winning team"..that would have been extremely dumb!!
, apart from Brathwaite for Smith i don't expect any other changes, unless Samuels comes in for Sars?
Hopefully we win the toss and bat first, a huge first innings score should assure that we can't lose the match and thus win the series before they even bat.

I guess he will actualy play now dat smith is out?BallOil wrote:Congrats to KB on his debut.
are they rushing Lil Brathwaite ? Kraigg has a good record thus far but is he ready for the big league?
A few players had a early run, such as Ganga, Xavier Marshall, Dwayne Smith, to name a few.

You sly eh? I see you only mentioned those who started early and failed. How about Shiv, didn't he start early as well?BallOil wrote:Congrats to KB on his debut.

How am I sly? I'm just asking a question if we are rushing lil KB. If we are actually rushing him, what would be the result?cuffman wrote:You sly eh? I see you only mentioned those who started early and failed. How about Shiv, didn't he start early as well?BallOil wrote:Congrats to KB on his debut.

Don't get me wrong, I'm wishing this kid all the best in his career. Hope he has a long and fruitful career like his hero.
Shiv started early at the tender age of 19 yrs (almost 20) as a leggie that could bat a little.
