OK Folks!

* Did you know that in 15 tests prior to the Dunnedin first test Shiv Chanderpaul was never dismissed LBW by New Zealand ?

* Then in his 16th test against New Zealand Shiv was out LBW in both innings----for 76 and 1

* The law of average surely caught up with Shiv---nailed him lbw in both innings in his 16th test against NZ.

ANOTHER STAT:

* Did you know that in 25 innings against New Zealand Shiv has been dismissed in single figures 9 times ?
Check it out: 8, 0, 5, 8, 2, 0, 0, 9, 1


DAMN! Shiv has trouble exiting single digits against New Zealand.


Rev

NEXT TEST AT BASIN RESERVE:

* Shiv has played 3 tests at Basin Reserve.

* These are his scores: 61*, 5, 70, 8, 36

* NOTE 2 SINGLE DIGIT SCORES.

* Once can therefore expect that if Shiv bats in 2 innings in the next test----one of those innings will be in the single digits.


Rev

ANOTHER STAT:

* Shiv has played 16 tests against NZ.

* In only 2 of those tests has Shiv scored double figures in both innings.


* 35* and 17 at Kensington Oval in 2002

* 13 and 15 at Eden Park in 2006

* Hmmmmmm! Shiv really struggles against lowly New Zealand.

* Were you folks aware of Shiv's struggles against New Zealand ?

* Oh well! In 16 tests--Shiv averages a lowly 40.86 against NZ---with 1 hundred and 7 fifties.

What stuck wid me was his first ball being caught and bowled  off a full toss in an inning on the last tour there

* Shiv was caught and bowled first ball by Patel for a duck---in 2008---interestingly he made 126* in the first innings.

* And then in Shiv's very next innings against NZ---this time in 2012 at Sir Viv stadium---he was out first ball for a duck---West Indies made 522 in that innings.

* Now! Shiv didn't make a duck in his last innings at Dunnedin---he made 1---and his team made 507

Maybe Shiv should score o or 1 more often---if that means his team would score 500+.   ;D
