First of all, I'm Australian, not West Indian.

Secondly, if it isn't Bravo, then who is the best young allrounder in the world? Not Pathan. His bowling figures are massively inflated against the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Not Maharoof. He's a total non-performer at Test level. Not Broad. He's only played one Test so far, and only a handful of ODIs. And certainly not Watson, who's constantly injured and seriously overestimates his capabilities as a bowler.

So what's Bravo's case? He's scored centuries against South Africa and Australia- pretty tough opposition. He's taken 5-fers against Australia and England- again, pretty good opposition. As a batsman, he's one of the most reliable number 6's in the world, scoring consistently in his last two series in England and in South Africa. As a bowler, he knows his capabilities- he doesn't try to bowl too fast, but he's developed into a good medium-fast bowler with a good slower ball, who's pretty accurate as well. In his last series in South Africa, he took eight wickets from three matches (despite only bowling in two) with an economy of under 3. Against a batting lineup which includes Smith, Gibbs and De Villiers, that's some pretty impressive stuff. In addition to this, he's a seriously good fielder, and the vice-captain to boot (although that could change when Sarwan comes back).

One more thing. It's true that I haven't been a member of this forum for as long as most others, but I'm pretty sure that blatant sarcasm isn't really in its spirit.
