What Shiv Needs To Do To Reach 12K and 50+ Average

OK Folks:

* Time for some simple arithmetic.

* After 156 tests(266 innings) Shiv Chanderpaul has scored 11,414 runs at an average of 51.88 with 29 100s and 63 50s.

* Shiv will be playing his next 8 tests against Bangladesh(2). South Africa(3) and England(3).

QUESTION:

* What stats does Shiv have to put up in his next 8 tests in order to reach 12,000 test runs at a 50+ test average.

ASSUMPTIONS:

* Assume Shiv bats in 16 innings in his next 8 tests.

* And assume zero NOT OUTS.

* Then Shiv will have to score 586 runs at an average of 36.62 in order to reach 12,000

* 11,414 + 586 = 12,000

* So what will Shiv's test average be if he averages only 36.62 in his next 8 tests(16 innings) ?

* Shiv's average will be 50.84

BOTTOM LINE:

* [size=12pt]Even if Shiv's batting falls off drastically over his next 8 tests---averaging only 36.62----he will become the highest test scorer in WI history(12K runs) and his test average will be 50+.[/size]

Check out the WI run scorers in the 3 test series versus NZ:

217---Brathwaite
208---Gayle
195---Shiv
185-- Bravo
179 --Ramdin
137---Edwards

* You are right---he should have scored at least 100 more runs----that's why he had an ordinary series.

* How about Bravo, Edwards and Gayle---did they score enough runs for you ?


Rev

* [size=12pt]Despite an ordinary series, scoring only 195 runs at an average of 48.75---Shiv remains the #5 ranked test batsman in the world.[/size]

* Shiv was ranked #2 before the start of the series.

* His ordinary 48.75 average caused him to drop 3 places.

WHY ARE HATERS CALLING FOR SHIV TO RETIRE ?

Answer:

Because they are HATERS---and RACISTS.

* Why was it OK for Clive Lloyd, Lance Gibbs and George Headley to play test cricket after age 40 and not Shiv Chanderpaul ?

* PREJUDICE and RACISM plain and simple.

* Everytime Shiv has a poor test the HATERS and RACISTS come out of the woodwork and call for him to retire.

* But we all know the Shivster is a STATS MAN---and he has zero intention of retiring.
