Encyclopedia
Shivnarine "Shiv" Chanderpaul (born 16 August 1974) is a cricket
er, and former captain of the West Indies cricket team. He is the first Indo-Caribbean
in the West Indies team to play 100 Tests for the West Indies and has captained them in 14 Tests
and 16 One Day Internationals. Chanderpaul is one of the top ranked batsmen in the world under the current ICC test rankings, and has previously been ranked as high as one.
stance, although he shifts his body into a more conventional position when he plays the ball, thus making him a prolific scorer on both sides of the wicket. His stance allows him to get most of his runs behind the wicket. Chanderpaul is renowned for playing left arm spin bowlers by getting his pad outside the line of off-stump, and hiding his bat behind the pad, in imitation of a shot, but without the risk of edging the ball. Chanderpaul has close ties Trinidadian business mogul Wayne Armogan, who is the son of late Trinidadian Lester Armogan. Lester known as "Uncle Les" was a father to figure to Chanderpaul.
Chanderpaul's first notable impact on Test cricket was as being the last batting partner of Brian Lara
when Lara broke Gary Sobers' record of 365 not out
in the fifth and final Test against England
in 1993–94. Lara went on to make 375 before he was caught
off Andrew Caddick
's bowling, sharing a 219-run stand with Chanderpaul, who was left not out
on 75.
Chanderpaul made his first Test century in his 19th Test match – after having scored 15 half-centuries in the preceding 18 matches. In the third of a five-Test series against India
in 1996–97, he made 137* at the Kensington Oval
in Bridgetown
, Barbados
. He also featured with his Guyanese counterpart, and former West Indian vice captain Ramnaresh Sarwan
, making 104 in chasing a world record 418 to win in the fourth innings
of the final Test match versus Australia
in 2002–03.
Chanderpaul's best first class score is 303* versus Jamaica for Guyana, and, despite his reputation as a dogged batsman, he has also made the fourth fastest century in Test cricket, scoring three figures in just 67 balls at the Bourda
, Guyana, also in the 2002–03 series against Australia. This innings was twice as quick as his next fastest, and took 267 deliveries fewer than he needed to reach 100 against India the previous season.
He was named captain
of West Indies in the first Test versus South Africa
in March 2005
in Guyana, after seven senior players including captain Brian Lara
were dropped in a sponsorship row. He emulated Graham Dowling
to become only the second player to make a double century on debut as a Test captain, scoring an unbeaten 200 and making a sporting declaration
in the first Test. It was announced that Lara would return to the team for the second Test, but Chanderpaul would retain the captaincy for the rest of the series. He was named to the squad of twenty for the World XI to face Australia in the Super Test in October 2005, but when the squad was cut to fourteen names in August his name was not mentioned.
Chanderpaul remains one of the most recognisable faces in all of the West Indies, particularly his native Guyana, and he has come a long way from his first fifty in his first Test versus England in 1993–94 at Bourda
to his current status as a former captain.
In April 2006, Chanderpaul resigned as West Indies captain in order to concentrate on his batting. He captained a weak West Indies team, and his record was not a successful one. In fourteen Tests he won one and lost ten with three draws. In sixteen One Day Internationals, he won two and lost fourteen. Later in the month the captaincy was restored to veteran batsman Brian Lara
.
Chanderpaul has recently reached the milestone of 100 Test caps, the 8th West Indian to do so and the first of East Indian descent.
began to fall quickly, leaving him stranded, as England completed a 60-run victory. During the third Test match Chanderpaul went past 7000 runs in Test cricket, a feat only accomplished by six other West Indians: Brian Lara
, Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Garfield Sobers, Desmond Haynes
, Gordon Greenidge
and Clive Lloyd
. He was jointly named Man of the Series alongside England's Monty Panesar
. Despite batting at number 5 in the Tests, he was promoted to number 3 in the following One Day International series.
His success saw him signed up by Durham
for the second half of the 2007 English county season.
For his efforts in England in 2007, and other batting performances, Chanderpaul was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year
2008. Chanderpaul's efforts with the bat continue to win him many accolades as he was named ICC player of the year for 2008.
