[size=12pt]Rev, since Alvin is one of your fav batsmen...why don't you put up some stats before and after his shoulder injury[/size].
[/quote]
* [size=18pt]Alvin Kallicharran played in 66 tests[/size].
Quote:[size=12pt]50.19 Kali's average in his first 50 tests --11 hundreds and 20 fifties
24.27 Kali's average in his last 16 tests --1 hundred and 1 fifty[/size]
* Kali's batting was severely hampered by bursitis in the shoulders---he failed miserably in his last 16 tests.
* His test average dropped from 50.19 after 50 tests to 44.43 after 66 tests.

[size=12pt]Question is, how did Kanhai's numbers compare to the top ten of his era or the span of his test career?[/size]

Rev: instead of giving these dudes Fish : teach 'em how to use a CastNet
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

* Kali's last test for the West Indies was in Dec 1980 against Pakistan
* His best year in English county cricket was in 1982 when he scored 2120 runs for Warwickshire with 8 hundreds(3 double hundreds) and 5 fifties.
* But by then he was banned from playing for the West Indies because he played in the rebel tour to South Africa.

WAS SACHIN TENDULKAR AN EARLY BLOOMER ?
Quote:[size=12pt]* Sachin never scored a triple hundred in tests.
* Sachin never averaged a 100+ in a calendar year.
* Sachin's best ever ICC rating was 898---he never joined the ICC 900 club.
* Sachin did not score 1000 runs in a calendar year until his 9th year in tests.
* BUT SACHIN PLAYED FOR 25 YEARS.
* Sachin scored the most runs in tests and onedayers.
* Sachin scored 51 test hundreds.[/size]
[size=14pt]* LOOKS LIKE LONGEVITY PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN SACHIN'S GREATNESS.[/size]

[size=18pt]Let's now look at a LATE BLOOMER. Shiv Chanderpaul. Check out his batting average in his first 10 years in tests and his average in his last 10 years.[/size]
Quote:[size=12pt]43.89 Shiv's average in his first 10 years(1994-2003) ---he played in 70 tests
61.07 Shiv's average in his last 10 years(2004-14)---he has played in 88 tests[/size]
STATS
* THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE FOLKS
* 43.89 first 10 years; 61.07 the last 10 years.
* [size=14pt]And the 40 year old TIGER doesn't look like he is slowing down----he is getting better with age.[/size]
