Shivnarine Chanderpaul

Shivnarine Chanderpaul is affectionately nickname "tiger" by West Indian cricket fans. Chanderpaul is the most experienced player in the West Indies team after Brian Lara, Chanderpaul has been used in several different positions in the batting order for Test and One-Day Internationals. Usually a gritty accumulator of runs, Chanderpaul has also shown that he is capable of attractive stroke-play like he did when he romped to a century off 69 balls against Australia on his Bourda home ground in Guyana in 2003.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul made his debut for West Indies against England in 1994, Chanderpaul scored 15 half centuries in his first 18 matches he finally convert to triple figures in his 19 match scoring 137 not out against India at Kensington Oval in 1996-97. Chanderpaul was regarded by many as mainly a Test cricketer early in his career, now those thoughts are all in the past as the versatile left hander, elevated to captaincy in 2005, has 14 Test centuries and 3 ODI centuries.

Chanderpaul has scored ten of his thirteen Test centuries in the last four years in separate series against India, at home and away, and against Australia and South Africa and maintains a decent Test average in the mid-forties. His dedication and commitment was rewarded with the captaincy during the Digicel home series against South Africa 2005.

In April 2006, after a dismal run with the bat and an unsuccessful stint as captain, Shivnarine Chanderpaul resigned as West Indies captain in order to concentrate on his batting. As captain in fourteen Tests he won one and lost ten with three draws. In sixteen one-day internationals, he won two and lost fourteen.
