Shiv can only pull a shiv.
Shiv is looking sharp,maid balance is good but he is being sheepish and making amateurish decisions which he has been doing for some time now.

* 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+

Rev,
As I said, shiv is looking no different to me than he did 10 years ago with respect to sharpness, balance etc.m
He is batting like a scared man and just needs to bat freely and not make stupid tentative decisions.
On this occasion I do not mind but those are my observations.

* 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.
