FIRST BATSMAN IN HISTORY TO HAVE 10 NOT OUTS (70-99*) - Rev Al - 06-15-2014
OK Folks:
* The Rev has a penchant for obscure stats. ;D
CHECK THIS:
* When he scored 84* against NZ in the first test at Sabina Park, Shiv Chanderpaul became the first batsman in test history to have 10 NOT OUTS between scores 70 and 99.

* The closest to Shiv in terms of NOT OUTS between 70 and 99 are 5 batsmen, each with 5 NOT OUTS between 70 and 99-----SWaugh, Kallis, Boycott, Adams and Imran Khan.
OBSERVATION:
* Lara had only 1 NOT OUT between 70 and 99-----80* vs SL at Sabina in 2003----the WI won that test.
* Sobers had 2 NOT OUTS between 70 and 99
* Tendulkar had 0 NOT OUTS between 70 and 99.
* Sangakkara has 1 NOT OUT between 70 and 99.
CONCLUSION:
* Shiv could have easily had 5 more test hundreds if he were supported by better batsmen.
* Oh well, a NOT OUT is great for the overall test average---and Shiv's test average is now 52.19.
* Anyway, give praise to the Shivster for his 10 NOT OUTS between 70 and 99----first man in history to achieve that feat.

Shiv has been unlucky a couple of times with his censures. I wish they would promote him up the order t use more of his batting skills. Westindies needs it.

* Shiv's goal is to score the most runs at the #5 batting position in tests.
* Steve Waugh has scored the most runs at #5---6754 runs at an average of 56.28
* Shiv is currently #2----6415 at an average of 58.31

* Shiv needs 340 runs to surpass Waugh at #5.
* LET SHIV KEEP BATTING AT #5.

ONE MORE THING
* That 84 NOT OUT was better for Shiv's test average than being dismissed for a hundred.
* Shiv's average in the first test was 108(84* + 24)
* Had Shiv scored let's say 125 and gotten out----his average would have been 74.5
* At this stage in Shiv's career NOT OUTS are golden. ;D
* Hopefully Shiv can score at least 1 more NOT OUT in the current series.
* He would then hold the NOT OUT record by himself----47
