Lord Krishna surely did his magic to ensure that two great sons of Indian ancestry would celebrate their 150th and 200th tests in the same match. Shiv Chanderpaul is the first West Indies batsman in history to play 150 tests and Sachin Tendulkar is the first batsman in history to play in 200 tests.


Many will say that in life it's the quality not the longevity that matters. That is true. But in the game of cricket, we have seen not just longevity from Sachin(25 years) and Shiv(20 years) but also remarkable quality in their batting. That's a rare combination, indeed---longevity and quality.

The way the Rev sees it---it doesn't matter how many runs Shiv and Sachin get in their final test playing against each other---they could both fail to score---but in the end----they'd both be regarded as champion batsmen----and more importantly----humble and decent human beings.


GIVE PRAISE TO SHIV AND SACHIN.

Rev

That's right Mr. Googley!

By the way, the Rev will use this thread to give praise to the 2 champions, Shiv and Sachin, during the Mumbai test.

SHIV EXPLAINS HIS "POKE & BLOCK" APPROACH TO BATTING:

The man found his niche---The numbers don't lie----the poke and block approach worked like magic for the Tiger---149 tests---10897 runs---51.89 average---28 100s----61 50s

Those a great numbers put up by a simple "poke and blocker" ;D

No word from the WICB on this great achievement from the Great Man.  Or has there been something ?  I have not seen it.

First West Indian to reach 150 tests....and WICB quiet as a church mouse!

Actually Coach Gibson praised Shiv to the hilt recently and referred to him as a West Indian legend---he talked about how deeply respected Shiv was in the WI dressing room.

Anyway Shiv is a modest man---and he won't want to detract from the celebrations in India for the Indian god Sachin.

like Rev said, the Great Man is too humble to be bothered by the lack of attention from the board.  He is used to that.

He will keep on prowling as his fans demanded:

The Tiger has been the bridesmaid his entire career---he stood loyally behind the great Brian Lara for 12 years and right now he is standing behind the Indian god Sachin---it's a role, being bridesmaid, that the Tiger is very comfortable and contented with.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
