N is for.....Narine
Narine - Sunil, Narine
The 24 year old from Trinidad is expected to spearhead the spin effort from the West Indies.
Whilst his figures dont look pretty in Test matches, his 47 wickets in 28 ODIS at an average of 21.68 are more than respectable.

Whilst his figures dont look pretty in Test matches, his 47 wickets in 28 ODIS at an average of 21.68 are more than respectable.
He will be competing against our very own Saeed Ajmal in the opening clash of the Champions Trophy on June 6th when Pakistan meet the West Indies, who had this to say in recent remarks to PakPassion.net

PakPassion.net: You recently stated that you were looking forward to the challenge of bowling at Chris Gayle. Another West Indian Sunil Narine must have also impressed you in the shorter formats? Saeed Ajmal: Yes undoubtedly Sunil is a world class spinner in the shorter formats and he’s a bowler I enjoy watching. It’s always pleasing for the “spinners union” to see a young man making his name in the game and he’s really impressed me with his variety and control. The challenge for Sunil will be to continue to make life difficult for the batsmen and for them to continue to struggle to read his varieties. With batsmen and analysts around the world always trying to work out your varieties and with all of the technology available these days, it’s not easy to disguise your bowling variations. But a subtle change here and there can more often than not confuse the opposition batsmen and the analysts. |
Saeed Ajmal may appear gracious in his praise for Narine but Ajmal knows that the young Narine is fast catching up - he is rated as No 2 after Ajmal in ICC ODI ratings and may well overtake the Spin King should Ajmal have a lack lustre ICC Champions Trophy, similar to what we saw against Ireland in the 1st ODI
N is for Narine!
