Follow Shiv's lead, Ganga tells

DURHAM, June 20: West Indies captain Daren Ganga said the side should look to the example of Shivnarine Chanderpaul if they wanted to end their winless run in Test cricket.
Defeat in the fourth and final Test against England by seven wickets at the Riverside sealed a 3-0 series loss for West Indies and extended their streak without a win at this level to 20 matches since they beat Pakistan by 276 runs in Barbados in May 2005.
Chanderpaul, however, maintained his standards. The 32-year-old Guyanese left-handed batsman scored 446 runs in the series with two centuries, the only hundreds managed by a West Indies batsman in the four Tests, at an exceptionally high average of 148.66. In the process he went nearly 18 hours without being dismissed.
"It's always difficult as a player when you put in a big effort and there is nothing to show for it from a team perspective," said Ganga. "Shiv is a team player, he's someone who fights for the sake of the team. His batting in this series has been tremendous and we all need to take a page out of his book, the manner in which he commits himself to cricket."
Former skipper Chanderpaul said there was no secret to his success. "As a batter you have to want to bat. That is the attitude and you should make it a habit if you can."
