SHIV NEEDS 215 RUNS To Reach 6000 at HOME - Rev Al - 06-24-2014
OK Folks:
* Did you know Brian Lara is the only West Indies batsman to score 6000+ runs at HOME ?
* Did you also know that only 6 batsmen in history have scored 6000+ runs at HOME---Ponting(7578), Tendulkar(7216), Kallis, Jayawardene, Lara(6217) and Sangakkara.
* In 65 tests at HOME Lara scored 6217 runs at an average of 58.65 with 17 100s and 26 50s
RE: SHIV
* Going into the Barbados test, Shiv has played 75 tests at HOME and has scored 5785 runs at an average of 59.03 with 18 100s and 30 50s
* SO SHIV NEEDS 215 RUNS TO REACH 6000 AT HOME.

QUESTION:
* Can Shiv get those 215 runs against New Zealand or will he have to wait until Bangladesh arrives in September ?

Shiv is making some poor batting decisions.
Is he getting close to the end?

Shiv is making some poor batting decisions.
Is he getting close to the end?[/quote]
* Shiv has scored 155 runs in the current series at an average of 77.50
* In his last 5 tests Shiv has scored 411 runs at an average of 68.50 with 1 100 and 2 50s
* And in his last 3 calendar years(2012-2014) Shiv has played in 18 tests---he has scored 1665 runs at an average of 79.28 with 5 100s and 7 50s
To answer your question Mail---Shiv's career is not close to an end----infact it would have been Bradmanesque had he not been getting out foolishly.

* As Shiv contines to re-write the record books, one can sense the deep pain and the frustration by some West Indian fans.
* They are praying for him to fail.

luckily all of us here at WICF are shiv fans
Re: SHIV NEEDS 215 RUNS To Reach 6000 at HOME - Rev Al - 06-24-2014
* That is the number Shiv ought to be aiming at in Barbados.
