If West Indian cricket has any hope of regaining the heights of the '70s and '80s, then it probably lies in the hands of Dwayne Bravo. What a series he is having against Australia, he missed the first match through injury but scored a priceless century in the second and just took 6-84 in the third - including the caught and bowled of the decade to dismiss Shane Warne.
Bravo looks innocuous with his technically sound but unspectacular batting and his steady medium pacers. He sounds innocuous too, being a timid and quietly spoken interview subject. But Bravo is probably exactly what the Windies need after a decade where flash and arrogance has got them nowhere. Hard work, a level head and concentration are Bravo's virtues and I hope they take him far.
