SHIVNARINE
WINS COVETED TITLE
He totally
deserves it. Shivnarine Chanderpaul has been crowned as ICC Player of
the Year, namely for his patience, but mostly for the inspiration and
hope, he provides for Caribbean cricket and her supporters.Quite how
Dale Steyn beat him to the test awards elude me.

About the author
I am a sports reporter that started
last 2006. I succeeded in getting that job and went on to become the
sports news anchor on the evening news in Trinidad and Tobago. My
love and passion is all about cricket..When not following cricket, I
follow my second favorite sport which is football. I’ve had the
great pleasure of personally interviewing former Indian Captain Rahul
Dravid, former Sri Lankan Captain Mahela Jayawardene , and our very
own World Record Holder, Brian Lara.
