6 Pairs of Cricketers with almost the same game

2. Brian Lara & Darren Bravo (West Indies):

How they reflect each other?: We can sum this up in a short story: One day God was tired of making new batsmen with different styles and unique footwork so once, just once, he put a man named Darren Bravo in the same pattern that was originally made for another bloke named Brian Lara. That might well explain how insanely similar Lara and Bravo are. With the same stances, same manners of approaching the ball, a footwork that can well be called ditto, and the strikingly similar back-lifts, Brian Lara and Darren Bravo share a lot in common including the genes (they are cousins and come from the same family-tree)!

What is the difference?: Lara was always more unorthodox in his shot selection. In other words, he played quite bravely and some times even bluffed with good balls to weigh his chances of scoring some easy runs. Bravo on the other hand is more careful than Lara and would seldom even dream of playing the dangerous hook with absolutely zero ease and a lot of power that Lara some times executed just fine!
