Senior Chanderpaul fell victim to Sunil Narine for only eight in the first innings, on a wicket that was made for the talented off-spinner, making the efforts of his 16-year old son all the more laudable.
He second top scored with 42 in the first innings and another 29 at the end in the second, both knocks suggesting a player of quite exceptional talent. Dwayne Bravo was also in the attack, so he had to work for his runs, but the indications are that the name Chanderpaul seems likely to feature heavily in West Indies cricket for some time to come.
Whichever local side Tagenarine is playing for this summer looks set to get a young cricketer of exceptional promise. He can only benefit from playing on different tracks and in different conditions.
While the focus will be squarely on his Dad's efforts in Derbyshire colours, it will be well worth keeping a wary eye on the efforts of junior in the local leagues.
As for Shivnarine, it was business as usual in the second innings, although his innings of 108 looked unlikely to save them from defeat at the time of writing.
Good to see with the season fast approaching.
