CHANDERPAUL NEXT ? 6000 Test Runs HOME and AWAY

Only 1 batsman in test history has scored 6000 runs both at HOME and AWAY. Who will be the 2nd ?

* Any cricket fan with a single brain functioning brain cell would know who that batsman is.

* Surprisingly Ponting, Kallis and Dravid did not score 6000 runs both at home and away.

BET SOME FOLKS ARE CURIOUS TO KNOW WHERE THE TIGER STANDS

HOME: Shiv(5910) needs 90 runs to reach 6,000 runs at home.

AWAY: Shiv(5488) needs 512 runs to reach 6000 runs in AWAY tests.


QUESTIONS:

* How many of you believe Shiv can become the 2nd batsman in history to score 6000 runs in both HOME and AWAY tests ?

Rev

* The 2nd test versus Bangladesh will be played at Beausejour stadium in St Lucia.

* The last time Shiv played a test there was in 2006---he scored 30 and 54 against India----that's a total of 84 runs.

* Can Shiv score the 90 runs he needs for 6000 at HOME in the 2nd test at Beausejour ?

Rev

Absolutely !

hopefully the mouse dont declare again !! 

* The declaration turned out to be premature. The West Indies had to bat a second time.

* Ramdin should have batted until lunch on day 3.

* Oh well! It's all history now.

* Shiv is overdue for a hundred at HOME. He didn't have any in the 3 tests versus NZ and he fell short in the first test versus Bang.

Rev

BUT , I learned a lot about fellow posters 

* We must respect the prejudices of our fellow posters. hahahaha

* By the way, the hatred displayed by the animals over CC was to be expected.

* They need to accept that it is a fait acompli, a done deal, Shiv will reach 12K runs at a 50+ test average.

* And by the way, if Shiv has 2 good series against India and South Africa, he will score those 512 runs he needs to 6000 AWAY runs.

* I have a strong feeling Shiv will be the 2nd batsman in history to score 6000 test runs both home and away.
