We all know the greatest joy in life is the joy of giving. But there are also joys in ordinary things. And one such joy from henceforth will be the joy of any West Indies defeat.

* That is 100% correct, but previous West Indies defeats were not celebrated with joy. From henceforth all West Indies defeats will be joyfully celebrated.

Three players made their Test debuts in March 1994 : All left-handers who would enjoy long and decorated careers !

Matthew Hayden, Stephen Fleming and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Fleming lasted until 2008, Hayden until 2009. Chanderpaul kept going, and going, and going.

And now he's gone, dumped by the selectors at the age of 40.

For the first time in in 21 years, West Indian fans must consider a Chanderpaul-less future.

ONLY 5 BATSMEN SCORED MORE RUNS THAN CHANDERPAUL BETWEEN 1994 AND 2015

13952 Tendulkar(169 tests @54.28 avg)
13378 Ponting(168 tests @51.85 avg)
13289 Kallis(166 tests @55.37 avg)
13288 Dravid(164 tests @52.31 avg)
12203 Sangakkara(130 tests @58.66 avg)
11867 Chanderpaul(164 tests @51.37 avg)

stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/i...results;type=batting

OBSERVATION:

* Tendulkar, Ponting, Kallis and Dravid were treated with respect and allowed to retire with dignity. Sangakkara will retire with dignity in August.

* BUT THE NASTY VERMINS AT THE WICB TREATED CHANDERPAUL LIKE SHYT.

* That's why every West Indies defeat from henceforth must be celebrated with joy by genuine Chanderpaul supporters.

ANOTHER JOY:

If Coach Phil Simmons, selector Clive Lloyd or any of the directors of the WICB who kicked Shiv out of WI cricket without the dignity of a farewell test were to drop dead the Rev would gladly and joyfully pay for their coffins.

Mapoui:

* The Rev is a man who is filled with inner joy. Hope you are also blessed with inner joy.

RE: SHIV

* He has been my favorite player over the past 21 years. I have been very proud of his accomplishments. He exceeded all my expectations.

* Now that Shiv has been kicked out of WI cricket will I stop following the WI ?

* ABSOLUTELY NOT! I am a huge sports fan.

* I will keep following the WI---but will now root for every team that plays against them.

* NEVER AGAIN WILL I SUPPORT THE WEST INDIES TEAM----NEVER!!!

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

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"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.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
