Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 February 1, 2016 His unconventional, underappreciated technique helped him dominate and suppress the best bowling attacks through his career His front-on stance helped him achieve balance, maintain a still head, and enabled him to watch the ball at all times   Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 In the 21st century, West Indies have won one and lost 45 of their 62 away Tests, and won only four out of 20 home series against Test opponents other than Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Chanderpaul made 9185 Test runs at 55.7 in this period. Only Jacques Kallis and Kumar Sangakkara have done better. Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 In the history of West Indies cricket, only Brian Lara made more runs. Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 The West Indies top seven, including Chanderpaul, made 25,351 runs at an average of 32 in away Tests (excluding those in Bangladesh and Zimbabwe) from the start of 2001. Excluding the runs contributed by Chanderpaul and Lara, who averaged 48 and 60 respectively, the rest of the top seven contributed 19,231 runs at 28.5! Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 This means that the other five or six spots in the West Indies top order in these Tests have been occupied on average by a specialist Test batsman who averaged 28.5. http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/966303.html Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;home_or_away=1;team=4;template=results;type=batting His RECORD of 19 TEST centuries at HOME : may never be Broken !  Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - ketchim - 02-01-2016 http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/942521/the-triumphant-fall Supremely gifted individuals  8) "I've never doubted my batting ability from the day I could hold a piece of wood between two small grimy hands." - Rohan Kanhai, Blasting for Runs Re: Chanderpaul's greatness ! - 7643664 - 02-03-2016 As good as any
