[size=14pt]I have a feeling the Tiger has one last hundred left in him.
[/size]
Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part.
It's up to the Tiger---if he regains his confidence---if he still believes in his ability----he'll deliver a hundred soon.

* You are absolutely correct!
*[size=14pt] And the reality is Shiv has played in 163 tests. He has scored 11,842 runs at an average of 51.71 with 30 hundreds and 66 fifties.
[/size]
* Read that again Ramo---that's REALITY!
*Now! If Shiv never scores another hundred in test cricket he'll still be among the 11 batsmen in history who have scored 30 test hundreds.
* Also if Shiv never scores another run---only 6 batsmen in history would have scored more runs than he has.
* Hope Shiv's success continues to burn you Ramo.

[size=16pt]The extraordinary WI great Brian Charles Lara will be celebrating his 46th birthday on Saturday May 2nd 2015. [/size]
On that day 41 year old Shiv will be playing in his 164 test ---"Ordinary" Shiv(11842) needs 112 runs to surpass Extraordinary great Lara(11953) as the highest runs scorer for the West Indies.
Many West Indians---not Lara, of course, are hoping and praying for Shiv to never surpass Lara.
In the estimation of those poor souls----Ordinary Shiv is not West Indian enough to stand at the top of the mountain ahead of extraordinary greats Lara, Richards and Sobers.
11953 Lara
11942 Chanderpaul
8540 Richards
8032 Sobers

================
* It is now highly likely that Shiv will play against Australia in June 2015.
EXPECTATIONS FOR SHIV IN BARBADOS TEST
* Very low!
* If he scores a total of 40 runs in both innings the Old Man would have had a decent test.

[size=14pt]Don't forget folks---Saturday May 2nd is Lara's birthday----Shiv(11,842) will be batting on Lara's birthday----I am curious to know what kind of present Shiv has for Lara.
[/size]
HERE ARE SOME LIKELY SHIV SCORES
A. 112
B. 0
C. 12
D. 20
E. 50
* We shall find out. I am rooting for a lil 20 from the Tiger. Surely that's not asking for much.

Shiv will only have a present for Shiv and no one else.
Not Lara, not the team but just Shiv.
That is the way you have painted Shiv Rev!

* Well Mail! Shiv has not been doing himself any favors in his last 5 tests, so he needs to change strategy and [size=14pt]"try a thing"[/size] ;D
* Try scoring some runs for Lara on his birthday.
* Lemme be blunt! Shiv is batting like he is shyt scared of holding that record(11954)---and it reflects in his batting approach.
[size=14pt]* Anyway, If Shiv were to miraculously go past 11953 in the Barbados test----you will see a more confident Shiv at the wicket after that---he'll be back to his old self---scoring runs CONSISTENTLY.
