Will West Indies ever become as good as they were?

Erm where does he accuse Narine of anything? :blink: also even in this video he talks about using NARINE'S ACTION and says "he might use it again"...so really you're just tripping yourself up Hendrix :D .
Are you kidding me here? Ashwin basically says "Narine chucks, so why shouldn't I?"

It's not exactly hard to guess who he's talking about.

Yep..but again just like Hendrix has failed to comprehend...has anyone called out Narine BY NAME like they did Ajmal? NO!!..And Ashwin was being a complete and utter hypocrite seeing as he tried to EMULATE Narine and ended up looking very foolish.

he's got rather substantial promise IMO, but it won't come to much with his t20 **** getting in the way

Why the **** must every remotely related West Indian thread turn into a WindieWeathers ****fight?

He never "chose" IPL over the NZ series as it ended BEFORE the NZ series started..so please get it right.
Told to report by a set day or be removed from training squad.

Doesn't turn up because of the IPL.

How is that anything but choosing IPL over Tests?


Lastly Narine's home average is low 20s in tests...So until Ali does something abroad i can't agree with that "proven more" statement.
So much fail:
In what way is 25.66 low 20s?
WI home pitches are just a tad spin friendly at the moment as well, so 25.66 is hardly a glowing recommendation, especially when a quarter of the wickets are Doug Bracewell. In fact looking at all the batsmen he's dismissed so far it's more a case of who? than a "who's who".
What exactly Narine done abroad - 9 wickets in 4 games.

Feel free to quote this and laugh at it in 5 years time, but Narine is crap and will never amount to anything.

Yeah i do..i understand that Bravo's average is better than Kohli, Williamson and Smith's. And yet still some people are suggesting that somehow those three "will be better" than Darren in the longterm!! 8-) .
Yep, this is definitely how it works. 100%. Perfectly sound logic.

Wow.

Why do you think he tried to emulate Narine? What was his purpose for doing so, and then brazenly stating in an interview that wearing long sleeves while doing so let him play with the limits?

I cannot believe that you can't understand the issue that Ashwin was trying to highlight.

Obviously Ashwin wanted to emulate his hero, sleevey wonder boy future ATG Sunil Narine, even though he's taken 5 times as many test wickets as him.
