[size=12pt]- Shivnarine Chanderpaul knows the Kensington Oval like the back of his palm. He has compiled the most Test runs at this venue - 1412 runs at a stellar average of 64.18.
- New Zealand also have some fond memories of Barbados, where they nailed their first Test win on Caribbean soil in 2002.
- Chanderpaul needs 119 runs to usurp Sri Lanka's old bros, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara (who are tied on 11,493 Test runs) as the 6th highest run-getter in Tests.
- BJ Watling averages over 50 in the Number 7 slot.
- Jerome Taylor is 8 wickets shy of reaching 100 Test wickets[/size]
