MANCHESTER: “Remember the name!” Those were the words television commentator Ian Bishop shouted after West Indies cricketer Carlos Brathwaite stunned England and the rest of the world with four consecutive sixes in the 2016 Twenty20 World Cup final in India.

Since then Brathwaite got nowhere close to that marker, and gradually some people stopped expecting it, and maybe some even started to forget. Until Saturday.

Against New Zealand at Old Trafford in the 50-over World Cup, the 30-year-old brought back memories of Kolkata while thrashing nine fours and five sixes in a 82-ball 101 that brought West Indies back from the dead, and just five runs short of a highly unlikely win.

Though his spellbinding knock didn't bring the result that West Indies fans begged for, it did highlight his batting quality and show what he can bring to the team.
