CHANDERPAUL: RETIREMENT Is Not An Option

[size=16pt]RAHUL DRAVID CALLS SHIV A MODERN DAY GREAT[/size]

Quote:[size=12pt] "Look at his numbers, the sheer weight of them. Chanderpaul has been consistent and exceptional in all conditions.

SHIV IS ONE OF THE MODERN DAY GREATS. He has had a phenomenal career.

For an unorthodox player, he developed a rhythm that worked for him and gives him balance at the crease, with the gift of timing to boot.

Shiv knows his strength very well. And he has been obsessed with scoring runs while not being too concerned about style.

Patience is the big thing with Shiv. He will bore you into bowling where he wants you to bowl." Rahul Dravid[/size]

PAGING GOOGS:

* I see those idiots over at CC cannot believe the modesty and humility of the Shivster.

* He has shamed them.

* Now they are asking for source in the thread you started.

* The source is the modest and humble SHIV CHANDERPAUL.
