Well, if Shiv performs as ordinarily as he did playing for Derbyshire in 2013---in 15 matches with Derby, Shiv averaged only 38 with 1 hundred and 7 fifties---if Shiv performs like that playing for the West Indies----then the door will be shut in his face.

IT IS CALLED HIGHER STANDARDS.

If a Kirk Edwards can average 38----he is set for life.

But not a player like the great man.

HOPEFULLY SHIV HAS 1500 TEST RUNS AND 6 TEST HUNDREDS LEFT IN HIM.

It might have been easier for Shiv to help to mold a team around him if he were the captain.  But sadly he didn't want the job.  He just wanted to concentrate on his batting.

i know i will stay awake watching

Gibbs is a senile old man

Shiv made the wise decision to relinquish the captaincy in March 2006 and focus on his batting.
