Bravo's definitely been their best batsman in this match,and he's actually shown there's no great devils in the pitch, which really puts the rest of 'ems poor batting in perspective.

Yep, for the memory of Percy Sonn.
Don't mean to sound insensitive but it seems way OTT imo, he was in the job for less than a year and oversaw one of the worst WCs ever not to mention the horrible handling of the Ovalgate crisis. Plus you have the yellow thingy on their other arm for that missing girl which is ridiculous in its own right, I mean cmon it's getting absurd.

Well, as the guy from cricinfo pointed out, they dont have armbands, just pieces of blacktape wrapped around the arm part of the shirt.

Discipline issues stopped his selection I think.
That's not the consensus here. Usually there'd be reports of him giving trouble but this time around there's been no such thing making his non-selection more mysterious. Wasn't for cricket reasons and doesn't seem to have been disciplinary.

When it was brought up on Sky Sports, Holding seemed extremely reluctant to say anything and changed the subject immediately, to which the other commentators obliged. Mysterious indeed.

There was that match fixing thing, but that was before the WC so since he wasn't dropped for that he obviously wouldn't be dropped for this either for that reason, although that seems to have been swept under the rug for better or worse.
