Guyana Batsmen use their Feet !
hence the Double centurions are ALL from Guyana.  :-*

* You noticed how Shiv used his feet in that 101* against Bangladesh ?

* Early in his career Shiv used his feet very effectively against spinners, but then he got lazy and started poking from the crease.

* Hope he uses his feet against Ashwin and Jadeja in the coming series against India. He can make a double in India if he does. ;D

* Great players of spin bowling always use their feet when the ball is given the slightest of air---Lara was the best player of spin I ever saw.

[size=18pt]Most runs scored by a batsman after age 35 is 4563 by Graham Gooch in 52 tests.[/size]


4563 Gooch(48.54 avg)
4139 Tendulkar(49.86 avg)
---------
3108 Chanderpaul(67.56 avg)---needs 1456 runs to surpass Gooch.

* [size=12pt]Shiv's goal is to surpass Gooch as the highest runs scorer in test history after age 35.[/size]

* Shiv has had only one ordinary calendar year since 2007---he averaged 35.85 in 2009

* Actually, since Jan 2007 Shiv has averaged 71.71 in 57 tests with 16 100s and 25 50s.

* SHIV WORKING ON HIS 3rd 100+ AVERAGE IN A CALENDAR YEAR---he currently averages 116.25 in 2014

* Lara never averaged 100+ in any of the 16 calendar years he played in.

* Richards averaged 100+ in one calendar year---1979---he played 2 tests in that year.

* You see how many statistical tidbits you can pick up on a Shiv thread.

* [size=12pt]Well if good old Jesus could walk on water, then surely Lord Shiva could do the same. [/size]   LOL

No way Shiv should retire, while he can still entertain us. Its always a plus when he reaches those achievements, but the best part is to feel that confidence in a match when he is around. Whenever I watch a match, even if he doesn't score a hundred, its always a thrill to see him play.

* I have been watching Shiv since he debuted back in 1994 as a skinny 19 year old.

* It has been a joy following his career and seeing the great success he has achieved.

[size=12pt]* Whether Shiv makes 1 or 101 it's always good seeing him at the wicket, and that is the way Shiv's supporters feel about him, they like to see him bat and bat.[/size]

Rev

[size=18pt]Since Otis Gibson was fired as head coach Shiv has not been dismissed in test cricket(85*, 84*, 101*). Shiv is surely happy Otis is gone. It shows in his production.[/size]



*[size=14pt] Shiv(158 tests) now has his eyes set on that man's record---200 TESTS.[/size]

* Shiv is also hoping and praying that he would be recalled to the WI one day squad. Otis is the one who dropped him 3 years ago. But with greats like Kirk Edwards, Lendl Simmons, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, etc, etc, Shiv doesn't stand a chance.  I am being grossly sarcastic. None of those clowns can bat like Shiv.
