#3 Attack Sunil Narine with pace

He might have answers to Narine the batsman's mysteries

Teams have tried, with little success, to contain Sunil Narine by taking pace off the ball. While it worked on a couple of occasions, but most of the times the Caribbean star managed to get on top of spinners, mostly because of the field restrictions. It is starting to seem that he is not prone to vulnerabilities against any kind of bowling.

Mythical.

On multiple occasions, Narine has struggled against aggressive bowling. But given the way he started as an opener, not a lot of bowlers had the will to attack him. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar managed to york him twice last season, while this year Ben Stokes exposed his ineffectual prowess against quick short deliveries, angled into his body without letting him make any room to free his arms.

So, Williamson can look to bowl the duo of Kaul and Kumar, rather than opening the bowling with Sandeep Sharma, whose relatively wider lines might get punished by Narine. It's time for some timber and perfume!
