For the remainder of the series fans should pay attention to see if Shiv can achieve 8 consecutive fifty plus scores---he would then hold the world record----currenly he shares the world record for most consecutive fifty plus scores(7) with Everton Weekes and Adam Flower. Rev
Which is of course something for the future, but on the approach to that point in time when Shiv will come out to the crease again, anyone who has followed the game of cricket with any degree of avidity will not bet a single penny against Shivnarine Chanderpaul surpassing that record. For that is the way of those special humans! Those folks whom history appears to be a tale in which they are predestined to star. So I would not put it past Shivnarine Chanderpaul to come out of this game standing on this pinnacle alone ... and remember he started the series against Australia with very little cricket! Jeez, that man is colossus.
Truth be told, for me, whether or not he does it will in no way detract from his accomplishments in the game; and so I am not too concerned. But were he to do so I will marvel once more at the blessedness that some humans display in their chosen endeavours. Imagine, that for all the tests that have been played, for all the great batsmen that have played the game, there is one man who stands on the threshold of performing that feat TWICE.
Shiv a dilema for any opposition? Nah, howzdat KNOWS he is way, way more than that!
He is something like a phenomenon. Oh, please dont get distracted by the flashing light and the bling, bling, explicit lyrics and stuff
cos the message is simple: Shivnarine Chanderpaul is nothing less than a Phenomenon! Oh and if you check the inscription on the stone in the vid it says:
"THE FAULTS OF OUR BROTHERS WE WRITE UPON THE SAND, THEIR VIRTUES ON TABLETS OF LOVE & MEMORY".
Shiv's memory will live forever as long as humans remember the game of cricket. Damn, let me sing it one more time ...
"Shiv is something like a Phenomenon, something like a Phenomenon, uh-huh uh-huh Something like a Phenomenon, uh something like a Phenomenon, something like a Phenomenon, uh something like a Phenomenon, uh-huh uh-huh Shiv sure is something like a Phenomenon and thats why we love him.

I better go and get me a life
