October 30 – Nov 3: 1st Test ~ Hyderabad

November 7 – 11: 2nd Test ~ Bengaluru

Kyle : 6 Innings would mean an average of 385/6 = 65 !!

doable on those dust bowls against Ashwin Jadeja and 3rd spinner  8)

* 40 year old Shiv had a 161 run PARTNERSHIP with 21 year old Kraig Brathwaite in the 1st test vs Bangladesh.

also

* 40 year old Shiv had a 169 run PARTNERSHIP with 22 year old Jermaine Blackwood in the 2nd test vs Bangladesh.


* Imagine how much the greenhorns Brathwaite and Blackwood learned from the old Shivmiester during those lengthy partnerships.
