A career that spanned over two decades came to an end with Shivnarine Chanderpaul

announcing his retirement.

We asked fans to share their favourite memories 

West Indies' record chase against Australia, where he scored century and was Man of the Match

My favourite memory is, when he kept on playing for a complete day and a half against India in a test match. I think it happened in Roseau, four years ago. All the bowlers got tired by the evening and then he launched a counter attack on the hapless chaps. Chanderpaul has always been a thorn, especially against India and Australia. A high quality batsman. He deserved a much better farewell than this. My respects to him. I wish him great future ahead. ::love::

I remember this Test match, back in 2002, India v West Indies.

We got Lara out for a duck and Windies were reeling at 50 for 3 in the first session.

I went to sleep and was able to get a glimpse of the game only 24 hours later on day 2

(120-odd overs had been bowled) and saw that Chanderpaul was still batting!

It was a mammoth partnership with Carl Hooper.

I was so disappointed, I couldn't go back to sleep that night and watched WI pile on the misery

till end of day's play!  Was a beautiful knock, though.

I remember him getting felled by a Brett Lee bouncer only to recover and score a hundred.

One of the all time great batsman, not just for the West Indies, but for World Cricket.

You can still watch him  in the MCL later in the month

thats correct !
