'We're good but we won't be legends'

West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has cast a realistic eye over the current team, saying that while they are a good T20 side, and have many talented players, he doesn't see them emulating the legends of the 1980s.
The Windies, under the leadership of skipper Darren Sammy, have begun to climb their way back up the various rankings and even won the World Twenty20 last year, and while Chanderpaul is proud to be part of the side, he thinks it will take a long time for the side to resemble Walsh, Ambrose, Lara and company.
Chanderpaul told ecb.co.uk of the current side: "It's pretty good. We have a pretty good T20 squad but we still have a lot of good players for all the formats. We have some young guys who are talented. Because they are young they'll improve.
"I don't know if it can be like what it was 20 years ago, but it will take some time to get back up. It will take some time to be in the top five again.
"I don't know if it will get back to where it was. I don't think it will get back there. Not that level of the legends of the past. I don't think you will get there and if it happens it's not going to be for now."
Another of the younger generation looking to stake their claim is Chanderpaul's son, Tagenarine, who plays for the Guyana senior side and is only 16. The junior Chanderpaul is also looking to play in England soon.
The Derbyshire batsman continued: "I'm pretty much excited about it. He finished high school last year and he said he didn't want to do his A-Levels. He wants to play some cricket. So I said 'no problem'.
"He's done a lot of hard work and he's got into the senior team. He's 16 and he's also coming here to play some cricket. It could only benefit him, coming out here to play some cricket."
