West Indies batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390, saying the youngsters in the team needed to take every opportunity to learn from the veteran batsman
“We're very fortunate to have him in this team at this point in time,” Bravo said regarding the 37-year-old. “…as young batsmen in the team we should try to take a page from Shiv's book as much as possible - as long as we do we're going to improve as a batting
unit in the future.”
The 23-year-old went on to add that Chanderpaul’s dedication to training, and his batting methods at the crease offered inspiration for the less experienced players on the squad.
“… It is just a matter of learning from him as much as possible … very important for us to pick his brain at every opportunity,” he added.
The two batsmen recently joined forces for a 110-run 4th wicket stand in the Windies’ second innings during the ongoing third Test of the Frank http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Devi-Chand-Worrel-c53918 trophy, in addition to contributing individual scores of 45 (Bravo) and 69 (Chanderpaul). The

from the first Test, and the second ended on a draw, and Chanderpaul has been an anchor for his team through the series, contributing an unbeaten 103 in the first Test, and a 94 in the second.
The left-hander is currently among the few experienced members of the West Indies squad, which comprises young players such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441. The emerging players have had a positive effect on the team, with the Windies
