‘Teesra’ just a mindgame that spinners play: Narine

Asked whether there is a possibility of a ‘teesra’ apart from traditional off-break and the ‘doosra’ (wrong’un) that goes the other way, he gave a straight-forward answer. ‘It’s probably playing mindgames with the batsmen. Batsmen nowadays can do a lot of things as the game revolves around them. There is very little that bowlers can do, so might just play mindgames,’ Narine said during an interaction on Wednesday.
As an extension to that answer, he agreed that trends are changing in T20 and bowlers have their task cut out. ‘Bowlers are trying out something new everyday. But you might not know what might just come out and what might not work,’ he added.
Narine, who is one of the most sought after bowlers in T20 cricket, further said he would like to concentrate on his strengths. Will there be any surprise delivery, pat came the reply, ‘No surprises. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible. What I have been doing for the last two to three years, I will be doing just that,’ he said.
