The veteran Caribbean batter Brian Lara has been disappointed with Shivnarine Chanderpaul's send off. The legend appreciated Shiv's deeds for the Calypso cricket. Lara called Chanderpaul as “giants of West Indies cricket”.
“Shiv, who played since 1994, had a tremendous career. I started with Shiv in Guyana and remember his first Test match against England,” Lara was quoted as saying by the media here.
“That guy with the most Test matches for the West Indies, playing for over 20 years, I don’t think people in the West Indies understand exactly his contribution,” he added.
Chanderpaul scored 11,867 runs from 164 Tests at an average of 51, scoring 30 centuries in the process. In ODIs, Chanderpaul made 8,778 runs from 268 matches at an average of 41.
