'''Shivnarine Chanderpaul''' [[Orders, decorations, and medals of Guyana#The Cacique's Crown of Honour|CCH]] (born 16 August 1974) is a [[Guyanese people|Guyanese]] cricket coach and former captain of the [[West Indies cricket team]]. Considered one of the greatest batsmen of his era,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/964641.html |title=Chanderpaul retires – 'One of the greatest batsmen of our time' |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=11 March 2017}}</ref> Chanderpaul is the 10th highest run scorer of all time in International cricket and [[List of players who have scored 10,000 or more runs in Test cricket|the 9th highest in Test cricket]]. Chanderpaul was a member of the West Indies team that won the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy]], and in the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy Final]], he had the highest contribution for West Indies with the bat, scoring 47 runs.

Chanderpaul captained West Indies in 14 [[Test cricket|Tests]] and 16 [[One Day International]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/688661.html|title=Numbers Game|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> A left-handed batsman, Chanderpaul is well known for his unorthodox batting stance, which has been described as crab-like. He scored 20,000 runs in international cricket, and in 2008 he was named as one of the five [[Wisden Cricketers of the Year|Cricketers of the Year]] by the ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]'', and awarded [[Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy]] (ICC Cricketer of the Year) by the [[International Cricket Council]].

He made his international debut at the age of 19, but did not score a century in international cricket for three years, prompting some criticism. Early in his career, he was plagued by injuries, and was even dubbed a hypochondriac until he had a piece of floating bone removed from his foot in 2000. After that he enjoyed consistent form, scoring over 11,000 runs in [[Test cricket]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Records – Test matches – Batting records – Most runs in career|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wi/content/records/223646.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=28 December 2017}}</ref> Chanderpaul was dropped from the West Indies squad in 2015.

==Early life and domestic career==
Shivnarine Chanderpaul was born to [[Hindu]] [[Indo-Guyanese]] parents Kamraj and Uma Chanderpaul in [[Unity Village, Guyana]] on 16 August 1974. His father, Kamaraj Chanderpaul, helped to nurture his cricketing ability as a youngster.  His ancestors emigrated from India to [[British Guiana]] as indentured labours under the [[Indian indenture system]]. By the age of eight, Chanderpaul was playing for his village's cricket team, and would frequently bat for hours, being bowled at by various members of his family. His father initially took him to the Everest club in [[Georgetown, Guyana|Georgetown]], but there was not a place for him at the club, and so he instead joined the Demerara Cricket Club. He appeared for the club's under-16 side while only ten. He was later given an opportunity at the Georgetown Cricket Club.<ref name="coty">{{cite book |editor-first=Scyld |editor-last=Berry |editor-link=Scyld Berry |title=[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2008]] |edition=145 |year=2008 |publisher=John Wisden & Co.

He made his [[first-class cricket]] debut for [[Guyana national cricket team|Guyana]] at the age of 17, facing [[Leeward Islands cricket team|Leeward Islands]] in the '''1991–92 Red Stripe Cup'''.<ref name="fcm">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/2/2119/First-Class_Matches.html |title=First-Class Matches played by Shiv Chanderpaul (308) |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=15 September 2013}}</ref> He was [[run out]] for a [[Duck (cricket)|duck]] in his first innings, but scored 90 runs in the second.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/55/55495.html |title=Guyana v Leeward Islands: Red Stripe Cup 1991/92 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=15 September 2013}}</ref> His List A debut followed a few days later, against [[Barbados national cricket team|Barbados]], in which Chanderpaul did not get a chance to bat in a match with no result.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/55/55517.html |title=Guyana v Barbados: Geddes Grant Shield 1991/92 (Zone B) |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=15 September 2013}}</ref> He achieved his maiden first-class [[Century (cricket)|century]] in April 1993, playing for the West Indies Board President's XI against the [[Pakistani cricket team in West Indies in 1992–93|touring Pakistanis]]. After taking four wickets in the Pakistanis' innings, Chanderpaul was one of three West Indians to score a century, scoring 140 runs, and remaining [[not out]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/57/57112.html |title=West Indies Board President's XI v Pakistanis: Pakistan in West Indies and Bermuda 1992/93 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=15 September 2013}}</ref>

During this time, he achieved the highest first-class score of his career, in a '''1995–96 Red Stripe Cup''' match against [[Jamaica national cricket team|Jamaica]]. In the first-innings of the match, which was eventually drawn, he scored 303 not out from 478 deliveries.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/61/61772.html |title=Jamaica v Guyana: Red Stripe Cup 1995/96 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref> In 2007, he subsequently joined [[Durham County Cricket Club|Durham]] as an overseas player, and helped the club collect its first major honour by top-scoring in their [[2007 Friends Provident Trophy]] final win.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/countycricket2007/content/story/307394.html |title=Durham secure first silverware |last=McGlashan |first=Andrew |date=19 August 2007 |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref>

In March 2008, Chanderpaul caused some controversy when, after batting for Guyana on the first day of a [[2007–08 Carib Beer Series|Carib Beer Series]] match, he left to attend the WIPA awards, and did not arrive to play the following day. He was 78 not out when he left the match, without notifying his team's manager or coach. He was recorded as [[Retired out|retiring out]] on the scorecard, and later returned on the third day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/344627.html |title=Officials angry as Chanderpaul goes missing |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=31 March 2008 |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref> At the ceremony, Chanderpaul was very successful, winning three awards as the international, Test and ODI cricketer of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/344623.html |title=Chanderpaul sweeps major WIPA awards |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=31 March 2008 |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref>

==International career==

During the [[1993 English cricket season|English summer of 1993]], Chanderpaul travelled with the [[West Indies Under-19 cricket team]] to England. He was the team's most successful batsman during the Test series, scoring 372 runs at a [[Batting average (cricket)|batting average]] of 124.00, including a score of 203 not out in the first Test, at [[Trent Bridge Cricket Ground|Trent Bridge]] in [[Nottingham]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/1/West_Indies_Under-19s_in_England_1993/ut_West_Indies_Under-19s_Batting.html |title=Under-19 Test Batting and Fielding for West Indies Under-19s: West Indies Under-19s in England 1993 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref> In the '''1993–94 Red Stripe Cup''', Chanderpaul was near the top of the batting averages,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/3/Red_Stripe_Cup_1993-94/Batting_by_Average.html |title=Batting and Fielding in Red Stripe Cup 1993/94 (Ordered by Average) |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref> and, according to the ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]'', he was a "contentious selection" for the subsequent Test series against [[England cricket team|England]], in which he was picked as an all-rounder who could bowl [[leg break]]s as well as bat.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/153210.html |title=Second Test: West Indies v England, 1993–94 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref> He bowled 16 overs in England's first innings without taking a wicket, and scored 62 runs in the West Indies reply.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63638.html |title=2nd Test: West Indies v England at Georgetown, Mar 17–22, 1994 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref> Chanderpaul played four Tests during his debut series, and was third amongst West Indian batsmen in terms of both runs scored and batting average, getting 288 runs at 57.60.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/2/England_in_West_Indies_1993-94/t_West_Indies_Batting.html |title=Test Batting and Fielding for West Indies: England in West Indies 1993/94 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref>

Over the following couple of years, Chanderpaul was in and out of the West Indian Test side, missing a visit by [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] altogether.{{cn|date=June 2025}}

===Dominating the arena===
In his first 18 Test matches, Chanderpaul scored 1,232 runs at an average of 49.28, but despite scoring thirteen half-centuries, his highest score was 82;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/51469.html?class=1;spanmax1=26+Mar+1997;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting |title=Statistics / Statsguru / S Chanderpaul / Test matches |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref> a Test century eluded him. He reached the milestone in his nineteenth Test, scoring 137 against [[India national cricket team|India]]. Just over a month later, he repeated the feat in [[One Day International]] cricket, striking his maiden century in the format, scoring 109 runs, also against India.<ref name="timeline">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/51469.html?index=timeline |title=Players / West Indies / Shivnarine Chanderpaul: Timeline |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref>

Chanderpaul scored a further century in each of 1998, in a Test match against England, and 1999, in an ODI against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]]. In the latter match, Chanderpaul and [[Carl Hooper]] were the only West Indian batsmen to reach double figures while batting – Chanderpaul scored 150, and Hooper reached 108. Their [[Partnership (cricket)|partnership]] of 226 was, at the time, a record in ODIs for the West Indies,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/fow/highest_partnerships_for_any_wicket.html?class=2;id=4;type=team |title=Records / West Indies / One-Day Internationals / Highest partnerships by runs |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref> and Chanderpaul's individual total is his highest in ODIs.<ref name="ciprof">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/51469.html |title=Player profile:Shivnarine Chanderpaul |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref> During this early period of his international career, Chanderpaul suffered with a negative reputation. Along with his failure to convert half-centuries into centuries, he had a tendency to miss matches which was perceived as hypochondria.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/562904.html |title=The epitome of selfless striving |last=Steen |first=Rob |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=27 April 2012 |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref> He was also in the news for late-night partying; on one occasion in 1999, he shot a policeman in the mistaken belief that he was a thief.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/west_indies/4366093.stm |title=Quiet man Chanderpaul given new voice |last=Soni |first=Paresh |publisher=BBC Sport |date=21 March 2005 |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref> His career took a turn for the positive in 2000, when he had surgery on his foot to remove a floating bone.<ref name="tiger">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/269070.html |title=Turn again Tiger |last=Baksh |first=Vaneisa |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=20 November 2006 |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref>

Free of his foot injury, Chanderpaul enjoyed the best series of his career to that point when he scored centuries in three of the five Test matches [[Indian cricket team in West Indies in 2001–02|against India]]. In addition to his centuries, he also scored three half-centuries, and batted for a record 1,513 minutes between [[Dismissal (cricket)|dismissals]].<ref name="coty"/> The following year, against Australia, Chanderpaul scored a century from 69 balls – which at the time was the third fastest Test century.{{efn|As of 2016 it is the equal sixth fastest in Test cricket.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/210170.html |title=Records / Test matches / Batting records / Fastest hundreds |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=11 September 2013}}</ref>}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/123995.html |title=Chanderpaul can't halt the tide |last=Williamson |first=Martin |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=10 April 2003 |access-date=11 September 2013}}</ref> Later in that same series, the two sides scored exactly the same total in their respective first innings, and Australia then reached 417 in their second, leaving West Indies requiring 418 runs to win.

===Captaincy===
[[File:BrianLaraUkexpatCropped.jpg|thumb|Chanderpaul took over the captaincy of the West Indies from [[Brian Lara]] ''(pictured)'' for just under a year, and is adjudged to have flourished when Lara retired.]]
In late 2004, [[Digicel]] began a sponsorship deal with the West Indies cricket team, and caused division within the squad. Initially, Chanderpaul was one of five players who did not attend a training camp due to disagreements about resulting commercial issues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/135611.html |title=Majority of West Indian squad begins camp |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=3 December 2004 |access-date=21 September 2013}}</ref> For the following series against South Africa, seven of the West Indies best players were omitted from the squad due to contractual issues, but Chanderpaul had resolved his differences, and was named as [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] in place of Lara, who was one of the missing players.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/146343.html |title=WIPA hit out at Lara's non-selection |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=21 March 2005 |access-date=21 September 2013}}</ref> In the first match of the series, Chanderpaul became only the second player, after [[Graham Dowling]], to score a double century on his debut as captain in Test cricket.

Less than a year after taking on the captaincy, Chanderpaul resigned the position, citing a desire to concentrate on his batting. Although his batting average during his captaincy was only slightly less than his career average,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/51469.html?captain=1;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=default;template=results;type=allround |title=Statistics / Statsguru / S Chanderpaul / Test matches |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref> the West Indies only won one Test match and two ODIs out of thirty matches under his charge.

===Post captaincy===
In early 2007, Chanderpaul recorded his second highest score in ODI cricket, hitting 149 not out in a losing cause against India.<ref name="timeline"/> Later that year, he was the top-scorer for the West Indies during their series against England, aggregating 446 runs in three Tests at an average of almost 150. His achievements during the series earned him the man of the series accolade,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/5/West_Indies_in_England_2007.html |title=West Indies in England 2007 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref> and saw him named as one of the five [[Wisden Cricketers of the Year|Cricketers of the Year]] by the ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]''. He was especially praised by ''Wisden'' for his third instance of batting for 1,000 or more minutes without being dismissed, and for his century in the third Test on a difficult pitch.<ref name="coty"/> He scored another century in the fourth match of the series, and was named as the man of the match, despite an England victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/engvwi/engine/current/match/258462.html |title=4th Test: England v West Indies at Chester-le-Street, Jun 15–19, 2007 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref> His performances throughout 2007 resulted in him being one of four players short-listed for the [[Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy|ICC Player of the Year]] award,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/309750.html |title=Ponting in line for ICC's top award |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=5 September 2007 |access-date=4 October 2013}}</ref> which was eventually won by [[Ricky Ponting]].

In 2008 Chanderpaul continued in his form during the Sri Lankan and Australian tours of the Caribbean. During the 2008 season he rose to be ranked 5th in the Test batting rankings. By the end of the third test against Australia, Chanderpaul became the fourth West Indian batsman to accomplish 8,000 runs in Test cricket as well as rising in the ranks to 2nd of the ICC test rankings, just 4 points shy of becoming the world's number 1 ranked batsman. In the Test match series against the Australians, Chanderpaul had amassed 442 runs in 6 innings, in 3 of which he had remained not out, at an average of 147.33, including two centuries and three half-centuries. From the West Indies second innings in the first Test, he was not dismissed until the final day of the series – more than 1,000 minutes of batting without losing his wicket – the fourth time he has achieved this feat in Test cricket. Chanderpaul eventually picked as part of the 2008 ICC test team of the year and bestowed with the 2008 ICC Cricketer of the Year award.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/chanderpaul-is-icc-cricketer-of-year-369200|title=Chanderpaul is ICC Cricketer of Year|date=10 September 2008 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

In December 2013, Chanderpaul scored his 29th test century against New Zealand in the 3rd test match at Hamilton to equal [[Donald Bradman]]'s number of centuries. In the process, Chanderpaul also became the sixth highest run-scorer in Test matches, overtaking [[Allan Border]]'s 11,174 runs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/cricket/25460220|title=BBC Sport – Shivnarine Chanderpaul becomes sixth highest run-scorer in Tests|work=BBC Sport}}</ref> This was also his 17th unbeaten test ton, a new record – one more than Indian legend [[Sachin Tendulkar]](16 unbeaten tons).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/news/218492-shivnarine-chanderpaul-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-with-most-unbeaten-test-centuries|title=Shivnarine Chanderpaul overtakes Sachin Tendulkar with most unbeaten Test centuries|author=Agence France-Presse|date=20 December 2013|work=NDTVSports.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/chanderpaul-moves-border-tests/90742|title=Chanderpaul moves past Border in Tests|work=wisdenindia.com|access-date=20 December 2013|archive-date=21 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131221101405/http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/chanderpaul-moves-border-tests/90742|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Late career===
In July 2014, he played for the MCC side in the [[Bicentenary Celebration match]] at [[Lord's]].<ref>{{cite web |title=MCC v Rest of the World – 5 July |url=http://www.lords.org/fixtures/fixtures-and-tickets/mcc-v-rest-of-the-world-5-july/ |work=Lord's |date=5 July 2014 |access-date=5 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140707031308/http://www.lords.org/fixtures/fixtures-and-tickets/mcc-v-rest-of-the-world-5-july/ |archive-date=7 July 2014}}</ref> During the Third Test against New Zealand, he was out stumped by BJ Watling, the first time in his 20-year career that he had ever done so in any form of the game. In a test series against Bangladesh in 2014, Chanderpaul continued to show his durability by achieving scores of 85*, 84* and 101*.

==Personality and style==
{{see also|Player of the Match awards (cricket)}}

Chanderpaul is well known for his unorthodox [[Batting (cricket)#Stance|batting stance]], in which he stands facing the bowler, as opposed to most batsmen who stand side-on. He adopts this stance in order to see the ball clearly with both eyes, something he developed as a child when facing hostile [[fast bowling]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/taking-a-stance/2005/11/09/1131407701703.html |title=Taking a stance |work=[[The Age]] |publisher=[[Fairfax Media]] |date=10 November 2005 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref> Despite this, when he began playing Test cricket, he had a reasonably traditional stance, with his feet only angling slightly forwards. After a year of playing international cricket, he had eliminated the forward angle, and his feet pointed square of the feet in a classical stance. Between 2000 and 2005, he started to rotate his feet forwards, until they eventually pointed almost directly down [[Cricket pitch|the wicket]], a position he has maintained since.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alloutcricket.com/blogs/sundries/gone-crabbing |title=Gone Crabbing |last=Ryan |first=Christian |publisher=All Out Cricket |date=19 March 2013 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref> While he faces forwards, his bat is angled towards square-leg, prompting [[Scyld Berry]] to describe his stance as "perfectly orthodox... provided the bowler delivers from next to the umpire at square-leg, not the one at the bowler’s end."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/westindies/9273444/England-v-West-Indies-Shivnarine-Chanderpaul-the-modern-George-Headley-carries-his-team-on-his-slender-shoulders.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/westindies/9273444/England-v-West-Indies-Shivnarine-Chanderpaul-the-modern-George-Headley-carries-his-team-on-his-slender-shoulders.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=England v West Indies: Shivnarine Chanderpaul, the modern George Headley, carries his team on his slender shoulders |work=The Daily Telegraph|last=Berry |first=Scyld |author-link=Scyld Berry |date=18 May 2012 |access-date=5 October 2013}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Chanderpaul's stance has frequently been described as "crab-like",<ref name="tomfordyce">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tomfordyce/2012/05/chanderpaul_-_a_man_for_all_se.html |title=Shivnarine Chanderpaul – a man for all seasons |last=Fordyce |first=Tom |publisher=BBC Sport |date=17 May 2012 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.express.co.uk/sport/othersport/10217/Chanderpaul-the-Saviour-yet-again |title=Chanderpaul the Saviour yet again |last=Bateman |first=Colin |work=[[Daily Express]] |publisher=[[Northern & Shell]] |date=17 June 2007 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref> and his batting has been labelled as ugly.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/562904.html |title=The epitome of selfless striving |last=Steen |first=Rob |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=27 April 2012 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref> It has been suggested that these factors have resulted in him being underrated as a batsman.<ref name="tomfordyce"/> When the ball is delivered, Chanderpaul moves into a more traditional position to play the ball.<ref name="warne">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m6xpZEp6RnYC&pg=PA64 |title=Shane Warne's Century: My Top 100 Test Cricketers |last=Warne |first=Shane |date=April 2011 |author-link=Shane Warne |publisher=Mainstream Publishing Company |location=[[Edinburgh]] |isbn=9781845964511 |page=64 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref>

As his stance has developed throughout his time playing international cricket, his batting aggression has undergone a similar transformation. He was first selected for the West Indies based on his attacking style of play; he cites [[Rohan Kanhai]] as one of his early influences. It was from Kanhai that Chanderpaul took his nickname, "Tiger". He maintained this style during the early part of his international career, but as the batting of the West Indies side around him grew weaker, he developed a more defensive style of play, and turned himself into what ESPNcricinfo's Vaneisa Baksh (cricket writer and biographer of [[Frank Worrell|Frank Worrel]]) described as "the anchor of the team, the solid man."<ref name="tiger"/> The Australian spin bowler [[Shane Warne]] described Chanderpaul as "a bloke you needed to crowbar away from the crease,"<ref name="warne"/> and he is often labelled as "limpet-like."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ausvwi09/content/story/440348.html |title=The Chanderpaul understudies |last=Coverdale |first=Brydon |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=19 December 2009 |access-date=5 October 2013}}</ref>
