39 YEAR OLD SHIV: A Fighting NOT OUT - Rev Al - 12-12-2013
OK Folks:
* [size=14pt]Like the Rev previously mentioned, Shiv Chanderpaul usually struggles to move into double figures whenever he plays against New Zealand.[/size]
* These are Shiv's last 7 scores against NZ: 0, 0, 9, 43*, 76, 1, 6
* That's 5 single digit scores in his last 7 innings.
[size=14pt]Maybe after chasing balls 2 days in the field----39 year old Shiv was too tired to concentrate at the wicket----next time Sammy should win toss and bat----but then again----Shiv has failed against NZ-----in 17 tests he has been ordinary.[/size]

* The Numbers don't lie.
* That 38 average by Shiv playing for Derbyshire was very telling.
* For most cricketers---a 38 average would be good.
* But Shiv is a man of higher standards-----38 was a fail.

* You can't write Shiv off.
* But if he keeps up with these bingo scores----the end will soon be here.

* Shiv looked fluent and great when he made that 76 in the first test.
* But he is back to scoring his usual single digit scores against New Zealand.
* Oh well! The great Sobers failed against NZ---he averaged 23.76 in 12 tests
* Shiv is now failing---his average has dropped to 39.27 vs NZ

[size=18pt]SHIV TEST AVERAGE HAS NOW DROPPED TO 51.37[/size]
* A few more single digit scores against New Zealand and Shiv will dip into the 50s

[size=18pt]IT IS LOOKING VERY UNLIKELY----11,953 MAY NOT BE OVERTAKEN[/size]
11,953...Lara
11,046...Chanderpaul
[size=14pt]Since Lara is a bonafide great and Shiv is only a statistical great----maybe 11,953 should remain #1----what do you folks say ?[/size]
