* Shiv is a CITIZEN of Dominica---that's where the 1st test against Australia is being played.
[size=12pt]* The last time Shiv played a test versus Australia in Dominica he scored 68 and 69 but that was back in 2012 when Shiv was a world class batsman. Today he is just a survivor.

* By the way, the WI lost that test in Dominica against Aus by only 75 runs---see link:

If Shiv scored 2 centuries against Oz, will he say goodbye or continue playing?

* Even if Shiv does the impossible and scores 400* against Australia, he should still call it a day.
* My major concern is Shiv's test average---it's falling like a rock right now.
* Seven tests ago Shiv's average was 53.11. It has now dropped to 51.37
* Even if Shiv scored 4 ducks against Australia---his average would still be 50+(50.49)
BOTTOM LINE:
* It is more important for Shiv to end his test career with a 50+ average than to end it with 12,000 runs averaging 49+
* [size=12pt]SHIV'S LAST SERIES MUST BE THE AUSSIE SERIES.

he hasn't played that badly at all for such a drastic change in the average.
Does anyone have a count of his "precise" test scores over the last 5 tests.?
I though agree on your pt that shiv shd end it above 50..50 being the class of the elites,we would really want shiv in there.WOuld be a shame if "he" ends it on less that 50
