CHANDERPAUL NEXT ? 6000 Test Runs HOME and AWAY - Rev Al - 09-09-2014
[size=18pt]Only 1 batsman in test history has scored 6000 runs both at HOME and AWAY. Who will be the 2nd ? [/size]
* Any cricket fan with a single brain functioning brain cell would know who that batsman is.
* Surprisingly Ponting, Kallis and Dravid did not score 6000 runs both at home and away.

[size=14pt]BET SOME FOLKS ARE CURIOUS TO KNOW WHERE THE TIGER STANDS[/size]
HOME: Shiv(5910) needs 90 runs to reach 6,000 runs at home.
AWAY: Shiv(5488) needs 512 runs to reach 6000 runs in AWAY tests.
QUESTIONS:
[size=12pt]* How many of you believe Shiv can become the 2nd batsman in history to score 6000 runs in both HOME and AWAY tests ?[/size]

* The 2nd test versus Bangladesh will be played at Beausejour stadium in St Lucia.
* The last time Shiv played a test there was in 2006---he scored 30 and 54 against India----that's a total of 84 runs.
* Can Shiv score the 90 runs he needs for 6000 at HOME in the 2nd test at Beausejour ?

* The declaration turned out to be premature. The West Indies had to bat a second time.
* Ramdin should have batted until lunch on day 3.
* Oh well! It's all history now.
* Shiv is overdue for a hundred at HOME. He didn't have any in the 3 tests versus NZ and he fell short in the first test versus Bang.

* We must respect the prejudices of our fellow posters.
hahahaha* By the way, the hatred displayed by the animals over CC was to be expected.
* They need to accept that it is a fait acompli, a done deal, Shiv will reach 12K runs at a 50+ test average.
* And by the way, if Shiv has 2 good series against India and South Africa, he will score those 512 runs he needs to 6000 AWAY runs.
[size=14pt]* I have a strong feeling Shiv will be the 2nd batsman in history to score 6000 test runs both home and away.[/size]
