Shiv test career is over
In reply to cricketmygame
It's a pity the WI selectors rejected Shiv when they did. They could've persisted with him, the way Pakistan have persisted with Misbah. The PCB are allowing Misbah to leave on his own terms...credit to them.
In Shiv's absence, the Test team loses series after series....
How have the Test batsmen performed in the PCL, compared to Shiv?

I would fear for Shiv's life if he were facing Starc or Wahab Riaz.
In reply to cricketmygame
If the basis for selection is and should be performing at the regional level then...

Is this a true statement, Wi was losing with Shiv in the test team, Shiv has the record for the most loses
In reply to mikesiva
Agree that he could have played longer but you cannot bring him back now
Since sarwan left the replacements haven't met his level as yet so they are far off from Shiv
In reply to cricketmygame
So what is your reason why he shouldn't be picked?

True, but you don't replace a Ferrari with a Volkswagen.
Shiv should have stayed until someone just as reliable comes along.

i do not think shiv should have been dropped but since he has been out of the game and is now 42 i think time has passed on his recall
in the words of donald trump "it's unpresidented"

You do this all the time, guess and post? This is a WI team we talking about you know?
Let's play, who is the best candidate for the #5 slot and that is Blackwood's?

have u ever seen a 42 yr old recalled to a test team?
In reply to cricketmygame
Yes, the great George Headley was not only recalled he was Cappo!

John Emburey
In reply to WestDem
So let make Shiv captain
In reply to cricketmygame
The team should be based on performance. Shiv was dropped when he was not performing. If he's performing now and seems still capable, there is no reason why he shouldn't be picked.
At least, he seems more committed to the game than Lil' Bravo.
