There are certainties in life:

[size=10pt]death, taxes and Chanderpaul,[/size]

shaping peculiarly towards midwicket, playing inside the line of the ball,

nudging to the leg side or gliding the ball precisely through the offside,

and, more than anything, steadfastly doing everything at his own pace.

At 42, among the oldest players playing first-class cricket today,

he remains clinical, cold-blooded and utterly unflappable,

even after discomfort in his leg necessitated

the use of a runner for the last portion of his inningsย  Wink

  • [li]TRINIDADDY: 150 for Shiv today. Shiv say he woulda scored more if his wheelchair didn't keep cramping up

As Lancashire's position became more assured, so Chanderpaul slowly dared

to show off a repertoire of shots so expansive that he once scored a 69-ball

Test century against Australia.

He is surely good player. When he was in team it was quite hard to get him out for rival teams. I have remember many of his good innings.

#7
Nothing like reaching his age and still playing at his level, it just proves that for some players age (almost) doesn't matter.ย  8)
