and places that into the vacant area behind square

12.5  Boult to Chanderpaul, FOUR, angled in,

16.1    Neesham to Chanderpaul, FOUR, short, wide, and he's timed that brilliantly.

18.6 : Southee to Chanderpaul, FOUR !!

mek yuh runs shiv

24.2

Sodhi to Chanderpaul, OUT, pads up again, it's closer to off,

and the finger goes up after a protracted appeal from Sodhi. Chanderpaul reviews...

it's missed his pad and it's come back a long way and hit him on the thigh, but is height an issue?

He's stretched out well forward as well. What does Hawkeye say ?

Umpire's call, just about clipping the leg bail... and he raises that finger again!

Chanderpaul lbw b Sodhi 24 (35b 4x4 0x6) SR: 68.57
 

Shiv end up with a 108 average ?  :-\

that was an awful call by ump

I would love to believe that in this would be perfect world called the West Indies a cricketer gets his position on a cricket squad because of his consistent performance and if that is so Chanderpaul would have passed Lara already. But sadly this is the WICB we are dealing with and for some reason Lara is held up as a local or regional God. Well let me tell you, Lara is no God anywhere else except in Trinidad.
