Also I don't get why people knock on Brathwaite for his talent. I think people that say that didn't see enough clips of his batting when he was young. He's got great hand-eye coordination and can play some really nice orthodox shots.
I agree with you that Rampaul is more of a stop gap solution. I believe before anybody gets a chance, Russell should be the 1 who should come in. He's proven already how dangerous he can be with the ball and is a very prospect with the bat. I would definitely take him in.
