It seemed like Craig Braffett had regained his fame four years ago!
In 2016, he hit from start to finish in the Test against Pakistan in Sharjah. The rare feat of ‘carrying’ the bat in a full inning is unmatched by any batter in his career, where Braffet had the opportunity to do so for the second time in five years. But the captain of the West Indies couldn’t!
When Kemar Roach returned as the team’s ninth hitter, Shannon Gabriel joined Braffett on the crease. So far in his international career, he has scored 240 runs in 95 innings in Test and ODI (never hit in T20I), the highest innings being 20 undefeated runs … Very few people had any doubt that Gabriel would be out before Braffett will stay in the fold. But the truth is the opposite.
The pair of 6 balls and 3 runs ended when Braft drew the ball to his own seal while cutting the ball from Dushmant Chamira. He did not remain undefeated until the end of the innings. However, Braft’s satisfaction with what happened should not be underestimated. The West Indies, which started the second day with 26 races for 6 wickets, were out for 354 races, including a grand inning of 127 races.
