Chanderpaul has been a legendary batsman, but he’s soon to turn 41 years old and looked clueless against short pitched bowling from England in the recent series, continuing a recent trend of being vulnerable to bouncers.
If England’s 135kmh quicks were roughing him up, what would Johnson and Starc have done to him at 150kmh? The manner in which his exit has been handled has been poor but the decision to drop him was not.

* In his last 6 test matches Chanderpaul scored 183 runs at an average of 16.63 only only scored 1 fifty.
* BASED ON FORM IN HIS LAST 6 TESTS CHANDERPAUL DESERVED TO BE DROPPED.
[size=14pt]* But Shiv has played 164 tests for the West Indies and what his supporters are saying, and what former greats like Lara stated, is Shiv has earned the right to retire with RESPECT.
[/size]
* The WICB should have given Shiv a farewell test match in recognition of his outstanding service to WI cricket---but they were too nasty minded and ungracious to do so. But that's OK! West Indies cricket will never again rise to the top.
* IT WILL BE A JOY SEEING WI SUFFER DEFEATS FROM HENCEFORTH.
