Talking about Narine ..... what's going on with him?
Seems to be flying 'under the radar' these days !!!

Narine despite being # 1 is a pelter .
Calypso , I heard his IPL team is looking after his remedial : somewhere in the Himalayas
Ten Years of W.I. squad of 15 performance has been a Disgrace :
Deo is still in contention to make this no talent XI as they sink further down the Charts.

Quote:The fact there is that time span, 10 years, shows he was incapable of cementing a place in the team and demonstraes his inconsistency!
Mail,
I have to disagree with you here. The major inconsistency in Deo's career has been his selection! Do you recall during the OZ tour he was the only batsman who showed some determination and was among the top scorers. He was dropped the very NEXT tour!!
It is true, that he has made most of the opportunity he has been given. And I have been one of the first ones to say that. However, compared to others he has not been given a fair run!
However, given the manner and lack of consistency how he was selected over the last 10 years, I really sympathized with him. Its as if they (selectors, including OPISS) have been playing a mental game with the guy. He would play 2 games then get dropped, then called up for 1 game because Samuels was not available, etc etc.

Deo can take another flight to SA. No need to fly there with the rest of the team.

Googs,
Noted and I did point it the selectors issue.
I do recall his batting on that Aussie tour where I felt he looked the business in difficult conditions.
However he has not really taken his opportunites by the throat, has he?
Following that Australia series he has been given a chance and in 2013 he had 4 games and averaged 17!
You cannot blame the selectors for that!
He just has to continue doing what he is doing and see what happens!

[size=1.45em]Deonarine in New Zealand last year:[/size]
FIRST TEST
Quote:Southee to Deonarine, OUT, oh dear, flashes at a full ball way outside the off stump without moving the feet and ends up reaching for it and can only get a thick edge which flies straight to Taylor at first slip who lets it plop out before receiving a favourable second bobble to grab it cleanly on this occasion, that is another poor stroke from a West Indian top-order batsman and they need to curb such irresponsibility quickly if they want to save this Test
N Deonarine c Taylor b Southee 15
Anderson to Deonarine, OUT, breakthrough just before tea, outside off and he came forward to a full ball which nipped away and got a thick edge through to Watling off the shoulder of the blade as New Zealand earn some reward after long toil
N Deonarine c †Watling b Anderson 52
SECOND TEST
Quote:Boult to Deonarine, OUT, he's worked him over! Taylor juggles once at first slip but holds on! He'd kept Deonarine guessing with his swing going in once and out the next. This one was on a length and it shapes away. The batsman hid behind a defensive stroke from the crease, but Boult snares the outside edge with a lovely delivery
N Deonarine c Taylor b Boult 22
Boult to Deonarine, OUT, got him again! Deonarine falls for the second time in the day to Boult as he inside edges the ball onto his stumps. It was short and a little wide outside off stump, Deonarine rose up with it and looked to fend it away, bit can't and he throws an agonised look to the heavens
Deonarine b Boult 12
THIRD TEST
Quote:Anderson to Deonarine, OUT, oh dear, another one down, West Indies are managing to collapse even on this slow pitch, Deonarine has tried to work this length delivery square to the leg side, but missed it, and is caught in front of middle, umpire Gould gives it out, West Indies review, ball tracker shows it just clipping top of leg, that is all New Zealand need
N Deonarine lbw b Anderson 2
Wagner to Deonarine, OUT, and New Zealand strike again as Wagner gets Deonarine to edge this behind to Ross Taylor at first slip, which leaves West Indies now six down, and the tail has opened up
N Deonarine c Taylor b Wagner 13

Bokie,
Great fast bowling on their Home ground.
Feel bad for Blackwood et al : this time around in South Africa :
