Shiv is ICC's best
Chanderpaul received the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for cricketer of the year, and Steyn became the first bowler to win the Test player of the year award.
The 34-year-old Chanderpaul, the top-ranked batsman in Test cricket, saved West Indies on several occasions with his battling displays.

The Honourable Shivnarine Chanderpaul OCC
In his famous book Beyond a Boundary, CLR James wrote about the role cricket played in the development of a West Indian national consciousness. Forty-five years on, there is a call for Shivnarine Chanderpaul, recently named the ICC Player of the Year, to be bestowed the Order of the Caricom (Caribbean Community), for his contributions to the region.
Former Trinidad and Tobago sports minister Manohar Ramsaran hailed Chanderpaul as someone "who has now become the emblem and the new architect for any Caribbean integration movement". "All the talk and jet-riding about Caribbean integration and political union are not as important as bestowing this honour on him " he added. Among other benefits, the award would confer on the batsman the right to be referred to as "The Honourable Shivnarine Chanderpaul OCC". Source

Special WICB honour for Chanderpaul
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is planning to honour batting star and International Cricket Council (ICC) Player-of-the-Year Shivnarine Chanderpaul during next year’s England tour.
The left-handed Chanderpaul became the first West Indies player to be named ICC Cricketer of the Year earlier this month and the WICB announced Tuesday it will honour the Guyanese in a “special recognition ceremony” at the start of the 2009 English tour of the Caribbean.

Why is WCF at the bottom of the links?  The former Admin of this site envisioned what has transpired for Shiv .... four years ago .... and named the cricket forum on this MB in his honour .....
Shouldn't WCF be in the #1 spot on the list of links?

Thank you Sis...you tell them...
Any fool can play Monday morning quarterback, but it takes great vision to KNOW what will happen in the future based on present circumstances. It takes the courage of one's convictions to name a site for Shiv waaay before he achieved greatness.
I predicted this rise to stardom, the captaincy, the greatness.....Yes, I told you so
Chanderpaul is re-writing the record books. The masterpiece is still being painted. The finished product will cause the haters to self-conflagarate
Bat on Shiv...Bat on son....
