Narine: The new spin "hero" or just another Mendis?
Now that Narine is going to play Test, beginning on Thursday against England, we will soon know that if he is the new king of spin or not?
The way some are rating him above the likes of Shakib on the basis of T20 performance, I do differ here big time. Though, he is a fine spinner, he has to prove a lot in near future what he is capable of.
Remember Mendis? Mendis was unplayable in his earlier days of Test debut and as soon the batters read him out, he became an "ordinary" spinner in no time.
If you have watched the IPL 2012 final, CKS batters seemed figured him out well. To me, it's just matter of time for the rest of the batters to take on him as well.
There is no doubt that he is a good spin bowler, though, he might never become an "Ice Man"? Time will have the say...
