In Dwayne Bravo, West Indies had unearthed a special talent. Dwayne Bravo made his Test debut at Lord's in July 2004, and took three wickets in the first innings with his medium-paced swingers and he also showed a cool temperament to forge a confident start at the crease, displaying a straight bat despite his team's facing a big England total of 568. He hit 107 against South Africa in April 2004-05 at Antigua to bring up his maiden century and in November 2005, scored a magnificent 113 against Australia at Hobart. He dazzled in the ODI series against India in May 2006, bamboozling the batsmen with his spectacular slower ones and chipping in with match-winning contributions with the bat regularly. Bravo was acting ODI captain when Chris Gayle was injured in Zimbabwe in late 2007 and he became their latest Test captain when he led them to a loss in Durban the following month.
