RE: SHIV CHANDERPAUL
* Now that you have seen the meager performances of the outstanding batsmen above, you'll understand Shiv's current low scores.
* AGE CATCHES UP WITH MOST BATSMEN.
* Shiv will likely play one more test versus England and 2 versus Australia in June.
[size=14pt]* Shiv's compatriot Kali and Kanhai did not score a fifty in their last 5 tests----it will be a miracle if Shiv scores a fifty in his remaining tests.
[/size]
*Of course extraordinary greats like Lara, Richards and Sobers ended their last 5 tests averaging 50+

Re: OUTSTANDING BATSMEN: Their Last 5 TESTS - Rev Al - 04-23-2015
* Judging from the scores I have seen put up by greats like Tendulkar, Ponting and Kallis and by outstanding performers like Kanhai and Kali in their last 5 tests, I believe the probability of Shiv scoring 165 runs needed to reach 12,000 is close to zero.
* Right now Shiv(11,835) needs 119 runs to surpass Lara(11,953) as the highest test scorer by a West Indian----only an eternal OPTIMIST like Chairman would still believe Shiv will surpass Lara.
* Shiv has been getting out to 2nd string bowlers recently----Harmer, Treadwell, Root and Stokes----only a miracle will get Shiv to 12,000 test runs.
