CHANDERPAUL(11,842) Psychologically Fearful Of Surpassing 11,953

* Ponting scored 1 fifty in his last 5 tests----did he make amateurish decisions in his dismissals ?

* Tendulkar scored 1 fifty in his last 5 tests---did he make amateurish decisions in his dismissals ?

* Could it be old age has caught up with Shiv like it caught up with Ponting and Tendy ?

* The way Bravo and Brathwaite are batting Shiv may not get a chance to bat in this innings----that means he'll have 3 tests to score the 119 he needs to surpass 11953.

* If Shiv doesn't score those 119 runs---in his remaining 3 tests(likely 6 innings) then at least he'll end his career averaging 50+

* Your observation regarding Shiv's approach is spot on.

* It looks to me like he is putting undue mental pressure on himself.

* Maybe he is thinking too much about Lara's 11953.

* Oh well! Shiv's long and illustrious career is coming to an end.

* Whether he makes 1 or 51---I don't expect any hundreds from him---I'll enjoy his few remaining innings in tests.
