The People’s Progressive Party has extended congratulations to West Indies middle order batsman and national hero Shivnarine “Tiger” Chanderpaul for achieving his 30th test century, a feat which surpasses Sir Donald Bradman’s 29th test 100.
In a release sent out by the party, it states that the batting legend “Tiger” as he is well-known around the world, during the final test against Bangladesh at St Lucia last week carved out a patient 101 not out to surpass Sir Donald’s record.
During the same series, Chanderpaul became only the second batsman to remain undefeated throughout a Test series with three of more innings and scored 200-plus runs.
Jacques Kallis was the first to do so, against Zimbabwe in 2001.
The release also congratulated Chanderpaul on climbing the test batting rankings.
“Additionally, we wish to congratulate “Tiger” on returning to the number three position in the ICC Reliance Mobile World
