4th Test, Day 4 at St John's, Antigua
** The 186 run partnership between Carl Hooper and Shivnarine Chanderpaul
was the third between this pair for the 5th wicket in this series. They now
emulate Englishmen Jack Hobbs & Herbert Sutcliffe (1st wicket v Australia in
1926), Australians Bill Woodfull & Don Bradman (2nd wicket v South Africa,
1931-32) and Englishmen Graham Gooch & Mike Atherton (1st wicket v India,
1990) as the fourth pair in Test cricket history to register 150-plus
partnership for the same wicket and in the same series.
** For the first time in his Test career Sachin Tendulkar has bowled 30
overs in a Test innings. Previously the maximum overs he had delivered was
against Australia at Adelaide in 1991-92.
His analysis then was: 20-5-44-0.
This was also the maximum runs (94) he has conceded in his Test career. He
had conceded 51 runs during his 19 over spell against Zimbabwe at Delhi in
2000-01.
** Hooper's 136 was the highest by a captain at this venue bettering the
effort of England's Mike Atherton who made 135 in 1994. The previous highest
score by a West Indian captain at this venue was the 110 by Viv Richards v
England in 1985.
** Hooper during his above knock crossed the 500-run mark for the series. He
becomes the first 'right-handed' batsman to do so since Australian David
Boon who made 556 runs in Australia in 1991-92. Since then four other
batsmen - all left-handers - had aggregated 500-plus runs in a Test series
against India.
They being West Indian Jimmy Adams (520 in 1994-95), Sri
Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya (571 in 1997-98), Zimbabwean Andy Flower (540 in
2000-01) and Australian Matthew Hayden (549 runs in 2000-01). Hooper now has
556 runs.
** Hooper, meanwhile became the 11th batsman to score three or more hundreds
in a series against India for the 13th time. Former West Indians Everton
Weekes and Gary Sobers being the only ones to do it twice. Australian Don
Bradman (in 1947-48), Everton Weekes (in 1948-49) and Pakistani Mudassar
Nazar (in 1982-83) are the only three batsmen to make four hundreds in a
series against India.
