West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul:
"He was probably the most focused I have seen him. He mentioned the record while he was
in the dressing room and he was getting a lot of phone calls about it,

Chanderpaul (who was still batting at other end):
"It was the most exciting thing I have ever witnessed.
