Brathwaite out for nought in 100th Test before West Indies rebuild
Looking to give the home side a solid platform on a two-paced pitch, the former captain's mistimed drive in the second over of the day offered Josh Hazlewood a low return catch which the seamer gleefully accepted. West Indies' second wicket also fell by the caught-and-bowled route, although it required Pat Cummins to sprint forward and dive almost to the forward short-leg position to come up with an excellent catch after Keacy Carty inside-edged a delivery onto his pad to offer the Australian captain the chance. Brathwaite's opening partner John Campbell continued to play positively to keep the score ticking along. However, as so often happens with the Jamaican left-hander, he could not resist the temptation for the injudicious shot and an attempted lofted drive at Beau Webster resulted in his demise for 40 via a simple catch at mid-on by Mitchell Starc. At 64 for three, and with the memory of their second innings capitulation in the first Test in Barbados still fresh, West Indies found some counter-attacking resistance to the interval in the shape of Brandon King (39 not out) and captain Roston Chase (16 not out) and will seek to continue the effort into the afternoon on a sweltering day in the Grenadian capital.

No T20s, no problem!: Kraigg Brathwaite becomes first cricketer to reach 100 Tests without playing a T20
Kraigg Brathwaite of West Indies (File photo - Getty Images) West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite has reached a rare milestone, becoming the first cricketer in history to play 100 Test matches without ever featuring in a single T20 game, not even at domestic level. He achieved the same as West Indies took on Australia in the 2nd Test of the three-Test series in the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada. In an age dominated by white-ball cricket, Brathwaite's career is a striking anomaly. A true red-ball specialist, he has etched his name in the record books through grit and resilience. Across 100 Tests and 191 innings, he has scored 5,943 runs, with 12 centuries and 31 fifties. His highest score remains 212, made against Bangladesh in 2014. Reacting to the unique achievement, the 32-year-old revealed that the record was not a chance occurrence. "'I set that goal when I was probably 14 years old — to play 100 Tests,' Brathwaite said as quoted by ICC. 'Now I'm here, 18 years later, playing my hundredth Test for West Indies. I'm very thankful, and I just want to be an inspiration for younger guys to follow. I didn't want to just be another player — I wanted to make an impact. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cervecería Nacional CFD: Calcula cuánto podrías ganar invirtiendo solo $100 Empieza a invertir hoy Empieza ahora Undo ' Bombay Sport Exchange Episode 1: Interview with Sanjog Gupta, CEO (Sports) at JioStar Another unique statistic underscores his durability as a Test opener: he is the only player in the format's history to remain unbeaten in both innings of a match as an opener. He achieved this feat against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2016 with scores of 142* and 60*. Since his debut in 2011, Brathwaite has gradually become the backbone of the West Indies' Test lineup. He served as full-time captain from March 2021 to early 2024, leading the team in 39 Tests, which is also joint-fourth most for the Caribbean side alongside Sir Garry Sobers. Under his leadership, West Indies achieved landmark overseas wins, including at the Gabba in 2024 and Multan in 2025. Poll What do you think about Kraigg Brathwaite's achievement of playing 100 Tests without a T20 appearance? Incredible achievement Unusual but admirable Not significant He has faced more than 400 balls in a Test innings on five separate occasions, peaking with 673 deliveries against England in 2022, which remains the most by any West Indian in a single Test. Having reached the 100-Test landmark, Brathwaite stands as a throwback to a different era of cricket, where patience and an unwavering dedication to the red-ball game remains paramount.

Brathwaite reflects on journey to 100 Tests for West Indies ICC World Test Championship
Kraigg Brathwaite will become just the 10th cricketer to play 100 Tests for West Indies when he takes the field against Australia on Thursday, joining an elite list that includes the likes of Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Brian Lara and Gordon Greenidge. Over the years, Brathwaite has become a cornerstone of West Indies cricket in the longest format, amassing 5943 runs with 12 centuries in 99 Tests, leading the team in 39 of them, facing more deliveries than any other West Indian and earning a spot in the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year in 2022. His journey began in 2011 as an 18-year-old debutant, but the belief took root much earlier at just 14, when he confidently declared he would one day play 100 Tests for the West Indies. 'I set that goal when I was probably 14 years old — to play 100 Tests. Now I'm here, 18 years later, playing my hundredth Test for West Indies. I'm very thankful, and I just want to be an inspiration for younger guys to follow,' Kraigg Brathwaite said on the eve of the second Test against Australia. 'I didn't want to just be another player — I wanted to make an impact.' It wasn't the dream debut for Brathwaite back in May 2011 against Pakistan in Basseterre. Though he got off the mark with a boundary, scores of 15 and 0 marked a quiet start to his Test career. Kraigg Brathwaite receiving his maiden Test cap ahead of his debut against Pakistan in 2011 // West Indies Cricket By his own admission, it took time for the belief to settle in, but once it did, there was no turning back. A gritty fifty in just his third Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur sparked a run of form, with three more half-centuries coming in his next four matches against top sides like India and Australia. 'I wanted to play for the West Indies from young — but I wasn't sure I could do it on the big stage. As I played more, the belief came that I could get this job done,' he added. 'Pretty much, from my second or third game, I had the belief that I could do it.' It took Brathwaite three years to notch up his maiden Test century – a composed knock against New Zealand in Port of Spain in 2014 – but it marked a turning point, cementing his place as a dependable presence at the top of the West Indies order. 'My first 100 against New Zealand was a feeling I can't really describe. I didn't believe that I would have been that close to a Test century, and then getting it, I could not believe that I scored 100 for West Indies. That really meant a lot and helped me going forward, to know that I can get it done.' 'New Zealand was a young team at the time. They were doing very good things and to get it against them, I felt proud. That gave me the belief that I could get the job done.' Just a few months after his maiden ton, Kraigg Brathwaite went one better, scoring a brilliant 212 in Kingstown, his first double century in Tests. He capped off a remarkable 2014 with a Boxing Day hundred in South Africa, finishing the year with 701 runs at a stellar average of 77.88, his second-best tally in a calendar year. At 32, Brathwaite reflected on his journey with gratitude and shared the mantra that has guided his career – dream big, work hard and stay disciplined. 'Grenada is a special place for me and I'm looking forward to playing my 100th Test match. I'm very happy and thankful to be here and honoured to be playing for West Indies,' he said. 'Whatever it may be, from a young age you can set your goals and targets that you want to achieve in life,' he said. 'Work hard throughout the tough times and the good times. Stay disciplined and never take it for granted.' ICC World Test ChampionshipNewsWest IndiesKraigg Brathwaite
