I'm biased....

pasag · 23-04-2010, 04:40 AM

One of the best I've seen.

Uppercut · 23-04-2010, 05:11 AM

He's awesome.

EDIT: Maaaybe I wouldn't say "all-time great". But he's definitely better than "very good".

age_master · 23-04-2010, 05:28 AM

Definately a quality player, not an all time great though.

wfdu_ben91 · 23-04-2010, 05:40 AM

He would struggle to make the top 15 batsman in the period that his been playing, hence why I only rated him as good.

Noble One · 23-04-2010, 05:56 AM

Don't care too much for the voting criteria, almost too broad. A fantastic cricketer who when in form, was almost unmovable. I remember watching him for the first time in 1995, a skinny young kid with an ugly batting style, but he looked like he would be around for a long time.

Despite a horrible past 5 years from the West Indies, imagine that time without Chanderpaul. Shining light in a horrible era of cricket.

Cruxdude · 23-04-2010, 06:58 AM

Good.

NasserFan207 · 23-04-2010, 07:18 AM

All-time great.

Marcuss · 23-04-2010, 07:59 AM

Have masses amounts of

for Chanderpaul. Brilliant player IMO.
Though agree that he's not quite and all-time great.

Post 5 and post 8
interesting
That said, he is better than his Aussie cousin Katich.
Similar batting styles.
Very good player,Shiv.
Remember a period in the 1990's where he scored many 50's,just couldn't go on to 3 figures.

I rate him by taking into consideration a number of factors including, but not restricted to:

Runs scored
Technique
Games played
Opponents
Era played in

weldone · 23-04-2010, 08:30 AM

Very good. One among top 10-15 West Indian batsmen ever for sure, which in itself is no mean thing (considering who all would be in the top 8-10).... And one of the 2 best West Indian batsmen in the last 20 years....
