Shivnarine Chanderpaul starts a glorious personal summer with 74 for West Indies in a rain-affected first Test draw at Lord's
Injury forces Chanderpaul to miss the second Test and West Indies suffer as they slump to their heaviest ever defeat
But he returns for the third Test at Old Trafford and scores a second half century of the series in the first innings
Chasing a mammoth 455 to win, Chanderpaul digs in to score an unbeaten 116 but he runs out of partners 60 runs short
Chanderpaul comes to the crease in the fourth Test with the Windies struggling on 34-3 and is dropped on nine by Ian Bell
The Guyanese makes England pay with a typically dogged unbeaten 136 out of a total of 287 all out
During his innings, Chanderpaul equals the feat of only six other West Indians by reaching 7,000 Test runs
Chanderpaul again runs out of partners in the second innings and is last out for 70 as Windies lose by seven wickets
It is 18 hours since his previous dismissal and the left-hander finishes the series with 446 runs at an average of 148.66
And there is no sign of Chanderpaul letting up in the Twenty20 game, scoring 41 in a 15-run win for the Windies
He also shines in the 50-over format, but his unbeaten half century is the high point in a 79-run defeat at Lord's
Promoted to three for the second one-day game, Chanderpaul hits 116 not out to guide Windies to 278-5 and a 61-run win
His only 'failure' is 33 in the final one-day game, his lowest score of the summer, but his average is an astonishing 202
