Narine to replace Benn? - Kyle - 06-21-2014
So if Narine comes back, who'd he replace? Playing two spinners seems like an overkill, and if it boils down to Benn vs Narine, would you pick Benn or Narine?
I must say Benn has been impressive in this match and bowled some snorters. Made me eat my own words a bit.

He probably peaked at the right time to justify his place in the side.i reckon it will be narine who will get the nod ahead of benn.Narine has some stock balls that are quite deceptive and he can be quite a handful.It's a bit of confusion to select either of them.In the end it all boils down to the captain's decision on who he needs for that test.

Narine has more attacking balls and can get wickets faster, but it seems unfair to drop Benn.

If it ain't broke ... don't fix it.
Plus there is the 'Narine policy re not attending Camp ala Pybus/Ottiss/WICB' which not including Narine works out well with this 'strategy'

I know BUT i dont wanna appear to discriminate against Gabriel :
But jeeeezzz...he even too big and bulky for a Fast bowler :
even IF you wanna give him a pass for NOT knowing how to hold an " upright " Seam !
