GREATNESS: SHIV CHANDERPAUL vs SHIV CHARLES - Rev Al - 03-25-2013
[size=18pt]Any batsman on this planet who has a 50+ test average and a consistency of 35+% is an automatic great. But in the West Indies if you have scored 10830 runs in tests at an average of 51.82 and a consistency of 35.45 you will not be perceived as a great if your name is Shiv Chanderpaul-----but with a name like Shiv Charles----a 51.82 average and 35.45 consistency----that is automatic greatness.[/size]
SHIV CHANDERPAUL = VERY GOOD
SHIV CHARLES = WEST INDIAN GREAT
Prophet Mohamed said, "say the truth, even if it may be bitter or displeasing to some."
The above statement is the god's honest truth.
WHO VEX, VEX!

Shiv Chanderpaul: 51.82 test average/35.45% consistency---sorry--Very Good--not great ;D
Only Lara, Richards, Sobers, 3Ws and Charles can be great in the West Indies---not Chanderpaul. ;D

[size=14pt]Most West Indians are not in denial----they are blatantly prejudiced against Shiv Chanderpaul being a great despite having great numbers---50+ average and 35% consistency.[/size]
How is it Shiv Charles can deemed a great and Shiv Chanderpaul with the identical stats as Shiv Charles is only deemed VERY GOOD ?
BLATANT PREJUDICE!
RE: DOMINANCE
Some of the blowhards say that Shiv is not dominant---so he can't be great.
What is this dominance the dunderheads talk about ?
Check this:
* Sobers had 758 4s and 32 6s in his 8032----38.4% of his runs were scored in boundaries
* Shiv has 1177 4s and 34 6s in his 10830----45.3% of his runs have been scored in boundaries
Did you folks see that ?
Sobers scored only 38.4% of his runs in boundaries; Shiv 45.3%
LINK to stats
BUT SOBERS DOMINANT & SHIV DORMANT ? ;D
