Player profile – Shivnarine Chanderpaul, West Indies

Those things under Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s eyes are to help him see. They reflect extra light or something.

The other thing you tend to notice about Chanderpaul is how he stands when he bats. Don’t be confused – he is a batsman. He’s even a good batsman somehow. It may look hideous, but the whole mess seems to sort itself out just in time for the ball to arrive on the middle of his bat. We don’t know how he does it, but he’s been doing it long enough that it’s not a fluke.
