mancalledsting Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) First player to score a century in both innings of a first class/test game in Headingly (127 year period). In a sizeable 4th innings chase, on one of the most difficult batting tracks in the world against a very good attack. Has good technique and temperament. Really hope he can help bring respect and dignity back to West Indies test cricket. Massive respect!! Edited August 29, 2017 by mancalledsting Spelling nevada and GoldenSun 1 1 Link to comment
Forever Indian Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hope and Brathwaite and Royston Chase are really good prospects for WI. Hope WI build upon these talents and also get a good bowling attack soon to continue competing with the big boys. mancalledsting 1 Link to comment
Sloane84 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Windies need to get back Darren Bravo at 3, replace Kieran Powell and get a couple of good quicks. Then they will be good to go. Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite - reminiscent of Gordon Greenidge and Larry Gomes in England in 1984. David Gower (Eng. skipper in 1984) must be sharing commiserations with Joe Root. mancalledsting 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Now that is called match winning performance. Showing up in both the innings much like Dravid did multiple times in his career. You cannot show up in one inning and go missing when a little bit of effort is needed in the 2nd innings. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

Massive respect!! didn't watch but if WI chased 322 that means, it wasn't the toughest of the batting track in 4th innings. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 What was more impressive about his innings was that he was CHILL. Literally, CHILL. Looked calm and composed. Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Some very good temperament and good defensive technique apart from good strokes. A really good innings under pressure. Bowling was good and pitch was not too easy also. Link to comment

Its a very good comparison for Hope.his back foot play is similar and he throws the kitchen sink at his shots like Greenidge. Link to comment
