- Chanderpaul had scored 558 runs at 111.60 in 2007 and 909 at 101.00 in 2008: Other than Don Bradman he is the only other batsman to have scored over 500 runs at a 100-plus average in consecutive years
(Geoff Boycott and Wally Hammond are the only other one to have done it twice, but not in consecutive years).
- Chanderpaul has scored 2,440 runs at 65.94 batting at number six :
he easily averages the most for anyone with over 2,000 runs at that position – way clear of Garry Sobers’ 53.34.
- Chanderpaul had scored the fourth-fastest Test hundred of all time — in only 69 balls —
against Australia at Bourda in 2002-03.
- Chanderpaul has now played in most Tests while being on the losing side:
— 68 — which probably proves how valiant his efforts have been.
