Ottis Gibson not happy with Sunil Narine’s performance in the first innings – Cricket News Update
The West Indies coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 at Mirpur, but feels that the youngster will improve his game in the longer format of the game with the passage of time.
The 24-year-old cricketer from Trinidad made his way to international cricket last year, having made his mark at the regional level as well as in junior cricket. The wily off-spinner has been sensational for the Caribbean men over the last 12 months, playing a huge role in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760’ revival in the limited-over sport.
The talented spinner was one of the leading wicket-takers of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), helping his franchise clinch the title for the very first time. On top of that, he was influential in West Indies’ success in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Narine is already considered to be one of the best bowlers of the world in the shorter formats of the game but he is yet to prove his credentials in Test cricket, which remains the ultimate stage of the sport.
The off-spinner conceded 148 runs for his three wickets in Bangladesh’s first innings at Mirpur and failed to trouble the home team’s top-order batsmen. Gibson is disappointed but understands that Narine will enhance his game as he gains more experience of the 5-day version.
However, the mentor is happy with the performance of the captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Veerasammy-Permaul-c94981.
“He [Sunil Narine] didn't bowl as well as we expected him to bowl, but this is his [fourth] game in international cricket and it's a learning experience for him. On the other side, young [Veerasammy] Permaul bowled really well. He flighted the ball,” said the West Indies coach. “Sammy bowled well too. Today was not all bad for us. We probably expected to get a few more wickets, but we need to work a little harder.”
Narine is expected to pick up more wickets in Bangladesh’s second innings, if the visitors are to take a lead in the series by winning the first match.
