The mystery spinner is doubly effective in home-conditions and after a brief draught of wickets, he returned to the party with a four-wicket haul in the last game. The variations that he has in his repertoire allow him to fox the tail-end batsmen in quick succession making him much like a spin version of Lasith Malinga.

His economy rate is baffling and while it is impressive in itself, its greater benefit is that the pressure created at his end improves the wicket-taking ability of other bowlers. He might get greater assistance in terms of spin and bounce at St. Lucia than he got at Guyana.
