Re: SHIV: 112 IS ALL HE NEEDS TO RETIRE - Rev Al - 05-02-2015
* Today May 2nd is Brian Lara's 46th birthday.
* Lara is the highest runs scorer(11,953) in WI history. It will take a miracle for any West Indian to surpass 11,953.
* Lara also hold the record(400*) for the highest individual score in test cricket.

KEEP THESE SHIV NUMBERS IN MIND ON LARA'S BIRTHDAY
* Shiv(6162) needs 56 runs to surpass Lara(6217) as the highest scorer for the West Indies at HOME.
* Shiv(11842) needs 112 runs to surpass Lara(11953) as the highest test scorer by a WI batsman.
* Shiv(11842) needs 158 runs to become the 6th batsman in history to score 12,000 test runs.

Quote:Anyway, If Shiv were to miraculously go past 11953 in the Barbados test----you will see a more confident Shiv at the wicket
We need Shiv to break Sangakkara or Ponting's test aggregates. Breaking a West Indian's doesn't move us up the list.

* That's asking too much from the old man.
* Right now old man Shiv struggling to reach double figures whenever he bats.
* Hope by some MIRACLE Shiv can score at least 112 more runs in his next 3 tests(1 vs England and 2 vs Aus)----his tally would then be 11954----and he can then retire.

1446 runs to pass Dravid.
That would take about 14 more test matches to pass I think.
How many tests do WI play in a year?

* In his last 5 tests Shiv has been averaged 31 runs per test----at that crawling rate it would take Shiv 46 tests(1446/31) to surpass Dravid.
* His 50+ test average would then be in the mid 40s.
BOTTOM LINE:
* Shiv must never allow his test average to fall below 50.
* Passing Lara's 11953 would be a nice way for Shiv to end his career.
* If Shiv doesn't pass Lara's 11953 after the Australian series----he should be forced into a Florida retirement home.

SHIV LOOKING NERVOUS IN THE PAVILION
WI 16/2 ----->Shiv up next
SHIV'S GOALS FOR THIS INNINGS:
1. Get off the mark
2. Get out of single digits
3. Get into double figures
4. Reach 20
* That's it for the Old man----any further runs would be a bonus.

* He has achieved all the goals the Rev has set for him above. ;D
* Every run from henceforth is a bonus.

[/size]
* Shiv will bat one more innings in this test and then he'll have 2 tests against Australia.
* So 87 runs needed from a likely 5 innings.
* By the way, Shiv looked good at the wicket until he played a wishy washy shot at that Root delivery----but he is forgiven----old age----Shiv crawling his way to 11954.

After 1st innings 3rd Test WI vs ENG
1. Shiv(6187) needs 31 runs to surpass Lara(6217) for most runs scored by a West Indian at HOME.
2. Shiv(11867) needs 46 runs to surpass Lara(11912) for most runs scored by a WI batsman playing for the West Indies.
3. Shiv(11867) needs 87 runs to surpass Lara(11953) for most runs scored by a West Indian in tests.
4. Shiv(11867) needs 133 runs to become the 6th batsman in history to score 12,000 test runs.
KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE NUMBERS FOLKS:
* [size=12pt]31, 46, 87, 133
[/size]
* Shiv has one more innings to play versus England and likely 4 to play versus Australia in June.
