Chanderpaul’s first ton
BRIDGETOWN.
Barbados. Mar 28: Shivn^rine Chan-_, derpaul hit his ■ i maiden Test cen-_ _ RJ lury to keep the West Indies alive on the first day of the third Test match against India on Thursday, reports Reuter.
Chanderpaul's disciplined innings helped the West Indies survive the first day after the Indian bowlers had them on the ropes, with paceman Venkatesh Prasad and Dodda Ganesh reducing them 144 for five by tea.
Prasad, who bowled an immaculate off-stump line and got the ball to bounce and wing, was the pick of the bowlers. Capturing four for 58 of 25 overs during the day. Ganesh took two for 70 off 21 overs in his first game of the series.
Chanderpaul, who at one stage looked like being deprived of his century by a lack of batting partners, calmly soldiered on as the wickets fell around him. Helping the home side reach a more respectable 240 for seven at the close.
"It is a big relief and I am happy, too. it's been a long wait and a heavy load on my shoulders." said Chanderpaul. who was mobbed by around 300 fans who ran on to the pitch when he passed the 100 mark.
At the close. Chanderpaul was 102 not out. with Curly Ambrose unbeaten on 28.
Chanderpaul. playing his 19th Test and batting his 30th innings, entered the fray in the third over after opener Sherwin Campbell was removed by Prasad for six with the score on 10.
Despite starting uncertainly and having a slice of luck at 62, when he was dropped by wicketkeeper Nayan Mongia off legspinner Anil Kumble. Chanderpaul. who has 13 Test half centuries. batted with dedication and determination.
His teammates struggled to
come to terms with a bouncy pitch and Chanderpaul was the only batsman to pass 30.
Chanderpaul lost his first partner when opener Stuart Williams was bowled by Ganesh for 24 as the West Indies reached 68 for two by lunch.
Prasad captured the prized wicket of stand-in-captain Brian Lara with a beautiful out-swinger which the batsman edged to captain Sachin Tendulkar at first slip for 19.
Carl Hooper was next to go, also for 19. ne flashed at a wide delivery from Ganesh and edged a catch to Mongia.
Roland Holder, playing his first Test before his home fans did not last long. He was caught at third slip by Mohammad Azharuddin off Prasad for five.
In the final session. Chanderpaul and wicketkeeper
Courtney Browne added 56 runs for the sixth wicket before Anil Kumble, the series leading wicket-taker with 15 scalps in the first two Tests, separated them.
Browne skied a catch to Tendulkar. running back from a short mid-wicket and was out for 24. Six runs later. Ian Bishop was bowled by Prasad for four.
He was replaced by Ambrose who gave Chanderpaul admirable support as ne inched towards his century which finally came when he drove Ganesh through the vacant mid-on for three.
Chanderpaul faced 231 balls and hit eight fours in his innings.
