where he claimed Player of the Season accolade.
“I am always looking to watch, listen and learn. I would like to play in the last Test and try to help http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 pull one back, but even if I don't, I won't be too despondent," the spinner added further.

7, 2012. Before the third Test, the tourists are scheduled to play a two-day warm-up game against county side http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807 at Grace Road over the weekend.
Narine, who has had an impressive 2012 season so far, got a surprise Test call-up after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746
in order to honor his US$700,000 deal with IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, where he bamboozled batsmen with the variation in his bowling and returned as the second highest wicket taker of the season with 24 wickets at an astonishing economy rate7 of 5.47
per over.
Though the mystery spinner goes into the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 series at the back of an impressive IPL season on turning sub-continent tracks, a tough task in the form of pace friendly conditions awaits him in England. Hoping to continue his good form in England as well,
Narine said that he will try to get acclimatized to the English conditions as quickly as possible.
