SHIV CHANDERPAUL: Has No Plans To Retire Anytime Soon

[quote author=Strokemaker link=topic=91068.msg586694#msg586694 date=1410239000]
I have to agree with you here. Although he is aging very fast now, he is still scoring runs more than other Windies batsman. So I don't see why he should retire right now. He should play as long as he can spot the red and white ball.

[size=14pt]Shiv is like the Yankee short stop Derek Jeter. They are both 40 years old and both have aged with grace. They have also both remained highly productive in their respective sport. [/size]


* At age 40 Shiv is the best batsman in the West Indies and still ranks among the best in the world.

* To date Shiv has played in 157 tests. He has scored 11,499 runs at an average of 52.26 with 29 hundreds and 64 fifties.

* SHIV BEST YEARS ARE STILL AHEAD OF HIM IN TESTS.

Why am i not surprised?? This guy has the capacity to go on and on..his hunger for runs is really insatiable. unfortunately though all his runs and records will be viewed from a point of view of longevity rather than outstanding skill.

Rev,

302-9 if Bangla get a few more runs do you think Shiv should open to get a treasured not out?

Mail:

* Shiv already has the world record for most NOT OUTS by a front line batsman, so no need for a "cheap" NOT OUT. ;D

* [size=12pt]By the way Mail, did you know that 34 of Shiv's 47 NOT OUTS have been in scores over fifty ?[/size]

* By the way, That's another Shiv world record. ;D

Rev

What a world record that would be remembered at the top of records in teh annals of Cricket.

Wow that is some record and what were the strike rates of these 34 not outs?

Any this is enough of trivial conversation.

I just think you demean the great man's achievements with this emphasis on nondescript events.

BTW another cheap not out would consolidate his world record...no?

DAMN SHIV IS NOT OPENING!!!

west indies win

Not Outs are expensive .

“I would do what I do, play cricket, even if nobody was willing to pay me for it. It is the one thing I am good at. It is the one thing I love doing all day every day.”

he has won the right and the respect to call it off on his own.he knows when his body is not able to cope up with the stress and the hardships of test cricket.
may he break a few records before he retires..He can finish on a high..
