The exciting right-hander smashed a cameo, unbeaten 18 from eight balls on Saturday to energise the Victoria Bushrangers’ run chase and fire them to a six-wicket win over the New South Wales Blues. “Coming off the Test series, I’ve been batting well, I’ve been bowling well and I’m used to the Twenty20 version having played a couple of seasons in the IPL for Trinidad and Tobago,” he said. “This is the next tournament that I’m trying to dominate and leave a name for myself in the eyes of Australia.”
He continued: “(The competition) brings the best out of me and I really challenged myself to see where I’m at as far as my cricket is concerned. I love competition and I always like to be on top.”
Bravo scored 36 from 18 balls in Victoria’s opening game as they beat Queensland Bulls by 46 runs earlier this week.
He returned on Saturday to snatch three wickets and also play a late blinder which contained a four and two sixes, the last of which came from the bowling of fellow West Indian Dwayne Smith.
“We are very good friends, very close but we are competing against each other,” Bravo said of Smith. “He wants his team to win and I want my team to win.”
