St John’s – Fast bowling legend Sir Curtly Ambrose has singled out interim captain Kraigg Brathwaite and off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall for special praise, following their superb contributions on the final day which helped West Indies win the second Test against Bangladesh last Sunday.

Brathwaite drew plaudits for his inspired field settings, rotation of bowlers and overall decision-making, which also saw him snatch three wickets in an inspired spell of off-spin.

Meanwhile, Man-of-the-Match Cornwall grabbed four wickets and three sharp slip catches, as the Caribbean side produced a magnificent effort to stop Bangladesh reaching an uncomplicated target 231 in Dhaka.

“I thought the captaincy was good. Kraigg Brathwaite was innovative, rotated his bowlers quite well and he followed his gut feeling from time to time and generally as a West Indian I am happy for the guys,” Sir Curtly said here during the ongoing CG Insurance Regional Super50 Cup where he is a member of the television commentary team.
