B is for...the Bravos

The tale of two Bravos for the West Indies – brothers Dwayne and Darren. One a right-handed all-rounder, the other billed as a Lara-light left-hander.

The more senior of the two, Dwayne John Bravo has been named skipper for the 2013 Champions Trophy, replacing Darren Sammy. A medium-pacer capable of explosive lower-order hitting, Bravo has been vice-captain for a number of years.

The last time the Champions Trophy was held in England was almost a decade ago, with the West Indies famously prevailing by two wickets against the home side at The Oval in the lengthening shadows. The win was dedicated by an emotional Brian Lara to those at home suffering from the after-effects of Hurricane Ivan, which had devastated the Caribbean Islands.

Dwayne Bravo was a 20 year-old at the time and a key member of the Champions Trophy-winning squad. He'll no doubt be hoping to draw on his experience and lead his team to another victory, adding to the ICC World T20 his side won under a year ago.

Lara may be absent this time round, but the West Indies will hope Dwayne's younger sibling Darren Bravo, whose flourish is a close imitation of the great man, will have a good tournament.
