Re: SHIV CHANDERPAUL: Crawling His Way To 12,000 - Rev Al - 04-21-2015
[size=18pt]SHIV STRUGGLING MIGHTILY----IT WILL TAKE A MIRACLE FOR HIM TO PASS LARA(11953)
[/size]
* I've been following Shiv since 1994----the way he has been batting his last 5 tests----I think it's over for him.
* Barbados should be his last test---whether he passes 11,953 or not.

[size=14pt]These are Shiv's last 8 scores in tests:
[/size]
21, 4, 7, 9, 50, 46, 13, 1 = 151 runs = 18.87 average
* Shiv faced 455 balls in scoring those 151 runs
* That means his strike rate in his last 8 innings has been a pathetic 33.1
* I am one of Shiv's strongest supporters----I think it's time to go.
* Lara is an extraordinary great---he deserves to remain the highest runs scorer in WI history----no point in Shiv crawling across the line.
* BARBADOS SHOULD BE SHIV'S LAST TEST.

Very uncharacteristic shot,especially so early on but good to see the back of the best West Indian batsman.
I think he should be allowed to go on.
It might mean his average drops to under 50 in reaching his personal goals.

* Shiv's is playing in his 163rd test---he has batted in 277 innings with 49 not outs---his average is 51.90
* If Shiv were to score 3 ducks in the remaining 3 innings in the current series his average would drop to 51.23
* And if Shiv were to foolishly play on and score 4 ducks in the 2 tests against Australia his average would be 50.36
BOTTOM LINE:
* If Shiv scores 7 ducks in his next 7 test innings---3 ducks against England and 4 ducks against Australia---his test average would still be 50+---it's will be 50.36----higher than Viv Richards 50.23
* [size=14pt]Anyway, time for Shiv to announce his retirement.

Yeah : that should happen so he cannot be a "statistical GREAT"
But as Rev pointed out Mail , it is mathematically impossible.
Good WISH though

Shiv is looking his usual self when he faces, just that he has made some poor decisions.
I am pleased about that from this series view point but he should just go out and do it.
I suspect shiv will have be commanded to retire....it will not come from him voluntarily!

* Most of Shiv's strongest supporters are now calling on him to retire.
* If not at the end of the English series, then definitely after the 2 tests against Australia.

Shiv should consider himself extremely lucky if he gets selected to play against Oz!
Message to Shiv: stop worrying about the damn record and play your natural game! As Rev pointed out your record will never go below 50 if you fail!
Re: SHIV CHANDERPAUL: Struggling Mightily To Reach 12,000 - ketchim - 04-21-2015
Lloyd would NOT have the nerve to exclude Shiv from the Oz series.
AWAY games , yes....

* The Australian series will be in June----I believe the selectors will let Shiv know that's when he is expected to hang it up.
* So Shiv has one more test against England and 2 against Australia---and that's it.
* I have never seen Shiv struggle like he has the past 5 tests.
