Profile
There are striking similarities between Narsingh Deonarine and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, both being left handers to have come through the youth system of Guyana, they prefer to field at cover point and also have an affinity for anti-glare patches. But what Deonarine would truly have loved to emulate is the cricketing success of his teammate as he struggles to establish himself in the West Indies side.
Deonarine first made news in 2005 when he was drafted into the side against South Africa after seven main players were ruled out following a contractual dispute. But once the main guns returned, he struggled to hold onto his place playing only a single ODI between 2006 and 2008. However his consistency in domestic cricket earned him a recall to the Test side in 2009 where he made a gritty comeback scoring a determined 82 against Australia on a dodgy Perth track.
With his useful off spin and sharp fielding, Deonarine is a safe bet in the Caribbean side but it has been his inconsistency combined with poor technique that has seen his downfall on several occasions. Unless the Guyana man becomes more proficient with his batting a place in the side will always elude him.
