Shiv Chanderpaul with his definitive 10 moments.

The Breakthrough Ton

137* | West Indies v India, 3rd Test, Barbados, March 1997

My first Test hundred.

It was a difficult wicket, a green seamer, lots of bounce.

Everybody else had got out    

so I knew that if we were going to get a decent score I’d have to be there until the end.

Curtly Ambrose really helped me get to my century. He came in and was running everything :

singles, twos and threes. He pushed me towards that first century.

That was 1997 : Fast Forward 17 Years to this week 101* 

The Record Breaker

104 | West Indies v Australia, 4th Test, Antigua, May 2003


I broke my finger on the first day, so I didn’t field much and just batted.

The Blocker

107*, 77*, 79*, 50 | West Indies v Australia, 2nd and 3rd Tests, Antigua and Barbados, June 2008

Batting for over a thousand minutes without getting out takes a lot out of you....

The End of an Era : The Nasty , most treacherous thing ever !

44* | Pakistan v West Indies, Mirpur, World Cup Quarter-Final, March 2011


This was my last one-day international before the selectors asked me to retire,

and then dropped me when I wouldn’t.

My ODI record was good: since 2006, I’d scored 3,387 runs at an average of 55.52.

Obviously I was upset about it.

You can understand getting dropped if you’re not scoring runs but that wasn’t the case.

It’s something you have to forge through.

You can’t live in the past.
