Sammy not going anywhere, Mr. President!!
he recently made 80...thats good enough for another 5 games.
Remember now, Sammy is not Guyanese so the higher standards do not apply to him!

W[size=14pt]ell googs, if Sammy not going anywhere, Shiv may as well notch up #[/size]
By the way googs---did you notice how some of the haters over at caribbeancricket.com were celebrating after Shiv scored 1 and 6----those mongrels are dying for Shiv to fail and get dropped-----what a miserable bunch of people----may Shiv continue to mentally torture them.

To talk a bout an individual's goal in isolation to the team is crass and selfish.

* This thread is about Shiv's goals---if it offends you----you can choose to ignore it.
Quote:* Shiv is now up to 11,077 runs---he needs 98 runs in the 3rd test to surpass Alan Border(11,174) and become the 6th highest run scorer in tests.
* Shiv has 1 not out in the series thus far---he is now up to 44---same as Border---he needs 2 not outs to share the NOT OUT record with SWaugh.
* Shiv has scored one fifty in the series---he joins Alan Border----both have 90 scores over fifty---Shiv needs one more fifty to surpass Border.
* Shiv now has 895 runs against NZ----he needs 156 runs to surpass Gayle who has scored 1050 runs against NZ.
* Shiv still needs 2 hundreds to become the 11th batsman in history to score 30 test hundreds----Shiv has been struggling in NZ----it doesn't look like he can score a hundred in this series----although he did look like a hundred when he scored that 76 in the first test.
* Maybe Shiv will surprise us all next week and score his 29th test hundred.
When one base themselves on empirical evidence, which is absolute, you should have the gumption and fortitude to defend them so do with dignity and grace.
