51 runs off almost 200 balls at a strike rate of 28 is not "workmanlike".

* You're right! Shiv's 50 was not workmanlike. It's circumspect. I'll edit the TITLE.
* [size=14pt]The 146* run partnership between Shiv and Brathwaite, largest partnership in the innings so far, has put the West Indies in a winning position.[/size]
* But the dunce angry HATERS don't see it that way.
* It pains those losers to see Shiv continue to be successful at the ripe age of 40.
* By the way, I notice only 143 overs have been bowled in the 2 days---that means there were some interruptions---and such interruptions may have affected the scoring rate.
BOTTOM LINE:
* THE HATERS WANT SHIV OUT AND WON'T BE HAPPY UNTIL HE IS DISMISSED.

3 wickets fell . One opener is on a double hundred !
[size=18pt]Shiv is playing in his first test match after age 40+, and that explains his cautiousness in his innings thus far. The old man knows he has to put up a respectable personal score.[/size] ;D
TIDBITS ON PLAYERS AFTER AGE 40
