But one man who deserved a lot more credit than he got, was Lendl Simmons.

Two of Bravo's four wickets came through Simmons' outstanding catches, including the exceptional one of Gambhir.

Has to be one of the best catches I've seen.

Then his 44 off 37 deliveries provided the perfect platform for Bravo to launch into India's attack.

Today, Simmons decided to set that right and keep all the headlines to himself.

Well almost.

He almost took the West Indies home single handedly against South Africa.

All by himself.

He had no support, but despite that, he went about it with ease, smashing the South African bowlers all around the Oval in a belligerent knock of 77 off only 50 deliveries.

It wasn't meant to be today, but the day is not far when we will hear of some cricket team being LENDLED!

It always is a treat to watch an exciting new West Indian batsman.

Once Fidel Edwards and Dwayne Bravo restricted the powerful Indian batting line up to only 153, Chris Gayle must have told his batsmen only one thing.

Gayle's troops did just that; what Pakistan did not, and raced to victory with 7 wickets and 8 deliveries to spare.

At the forefront of that victory was one Dwayne Bravo, who I reckon displayed one of the best allround performances in a T20 international.

4-38 with the ball followed by a 36-ball, match winning, unbeaten 66!

Some innings that was, and he had great support from Lendl Simmons.

The West Indies' chances may not rely solely on Gayle after all.

This is a HUGE victory for the West Indies in the context of the potential dynamics of Group E in the Super 8s.

If you thought that India and South Africa would have a cake-walk to the semi finals, you need to think again.

This is quite an upset and can turn this Group E upside down.

West Indies take on South Africa tomorrow and will surely turn out in Buoyant mood.

While India will take on England in a couple of days, in a game that England would not want to lose.

Another few upsets in the offing?

Who knows, but this World Twenty20 continues to throw suprises.

Initially Bravo was to fly back on the 15th, a day after MI's Indian Premier League match against the Super Kings.

Considering that MI had another 2 matches in 4 days, the franchise owners requested Bravo to stay back till the 18th and leave after their match against the Deccan Chargers.

Bravo was provided motivation as well for staying back.

The motivating force was a flight back to the West Indies in a Private Jet.

Bravo stayed back. Played the matches on the 16th and 18th. Picked up 2-13 against the Riders. Picked up 3-24 against the Chargers after scoring a 17 ball 30, which also earned him a man of the match award. And left for the Windies in a Private Jet!

How much can a ride on a Private Jet make you do one wonders.

If only our bosses offered such incentives. We would be the most efficient employees day in day out.

This news piece mentions that Bravo joined the Windies camp on the 19th after landing in the city on a Private Jet provided by his IPL franchise.

Reliance Industries is the franchisee of the Mumbai Indians.

Reliance Industries is owned by Mukesh Ambani who is one of the richest men in the world. In fact last October when the Indian Sensex rallied to its peaks, Mr. Ambani was declared THE Richest Man in the World.

Celebrating his status as the richest man in the world and his wife's birthday simultaneously, Mr. Ambani gifted Mrs. Nita Ambani, a Private Jet worth US$ 60 million.

The same Private Jet that Bravo travelled in.

The article describes the jet as an "Airbus 319 Corporate luxury jet with entertainment cabins, a sky bar and fancy showers".

Thats one entertaining flight Bravo must have had. That too after a man of the match performance!

Just for the record, Mukesh Ambani is worth US$ 60 billion. He spent 0.1% of his net worth on a Private Jet. 0.2% on a cricket team. And 0.00025% on Dwayne Bravo's services for the Mumbai Indians!
