* I've been reading the comments of long time Shiv supporters over at Caribbeancricket.com----folks like Narper, etc
* As of today I am no longer looking forward to Shiv reaching 12K
* If he miraculously gets to 12K---fine
* Once Shiv ends his career as the first Guyanese to average 50+ in tests----that'll be great.

Clearly you do but [size=14pt]I do not see the relevance of that 50+ average [/size]given the great Babu ended with 47 and he was an absolute master, and the first Master Blaster.

* You are not a fan of Chanderpaul and so it is understandable you don't see the relevance of a 50+ average.
* But as I stated earlier in this thread, any batsman who ends his career with 3000+ runs and a 50+ test average is an ORDINARY or statistical great.
* Chanderpaul will end his career as an ordinary/statistical great.
The poor form of Chanderpaul continued today as he only managed to score 1 run. I don't know if Shiv is in poor form or he has lost he completely. If he fails in the other innings in the rest of the series then I think it would be the end for him where international cricket is concerned.
CHECK OUT SHIV GIVING CATCHING PRACTICE TO MOEEN ALI----2min 15 sec mark
* Shiv's problem is he is not batting with conviction and confidence----he is waaaay too tentative-----look at that dismissal----he just steered that ball into Moen's hands.
To be brutally honest it is irritating when legends struggle in the fag end of their career.We start to hate them for non-performance.It happens to everyone,but hoping shiv stays strong and shuts his "critics up".
GO SHIV..!!!
