Seems as though I was over optimistic.

* A fighting 31 NOT OUT by Shiv in the 2nd innings.

* Shiv joins Alan Border ---both have 44 NOT OUTS

* Only Steve Waugh(46) has more NOT OUTS.


GOOD EFFORT BY SHIV IN THE 2ND INNINGS AT BASIN RESERVE.

* Shiv maintains his 40+ average vs NZ---40.68 in 17 tests

Interesting comments but quite balanced.

Shiv played  a test innings and a number 10 did what a number 10 does.

I have seen cases where Chanderpaul could have batted with the tail better and cases where he did, like the Bishoo example, but I cannot fault him on this occasion as it was all but over.

Winning the toss and inserting the opposition to be beaten within 3 days requires some attention.

he was not out but where was the fight all he did was rotating the strike to the tail

Why should Shiv protect the tail ? Did you see Trent Boult bat at #11 and score 38 not out ? WI tailenders must learn how to bat. Shiv is not in the protection business.
