Wisden Cricketer of the Year 2008:
Shivnarine Chanderpaul - Ian Bishop
No more single-minded or determined batsman has traversed the West Indian cricketing landscape since Brian Lara's debut than Shivnarine Chanderpaul. The tour of England last summer confirmed his place in the pantheon of West Indies batsmen. Demonstrating extensive spells of concentration and stamina, he repelled England's bowlers for 1,074 minutes between dismissals and averaged 148 in the three Tests he played. He thus became the first man to record three 1,000-minute vigils in Test cricket, his 1,513 minutes without being dismissed by India in 2002 being the longest of all.
