Chanderpaul Greets Gallery
shivnarine chanderpaul is on the peak recently in the test cricket.The place of this west Indian star is now above the cricketers like Graeme Smith,Ricky Ponting,Kevin Pietersen or Sachin Tendulkar but the overall reputation of the team is still poor as they can only maintain the 7th and 8th position in the ICC rankings in the test and ODI cricket respectively.
In his last 2 series against England,this left-hander has got an average score of 72.83 and 148.87,which are the figures even the greatest batsman of Australia Don Bradman haven’t achieved.Chandrapaul spent almost 12 hours in the middle of the field during the series against England in 2007 constituting about 448 runs.
The England fast bowler Ryan sidebottom said that it has been a very difficult task to get this Caribbean out of the field because of his unorthodox batting style.He also added that the ability of chanderpaul to play very late makes him a difficult target.His simplistic approach and his unique style of batting is the great strength of this star says the former English cricketer Graeme Thorpe.
