On January 1, Sunil Narine walked out to open the batting for Melbourne Renegades. He was not an obvious choice. In his entire T20 career Narine had scored 382 runs in 195 games - fewer than two per match - and had never previously batted in the top four.
The coaching staff at Renegades "saw me batting in the nets and said, 'We could try him opening.' That's where it started," Narine recalls. "No one saw me before opening the batting. They didn't know what to expect - I was batting eight or nine before, so they didn't really think I was much of a challenge."

West Indies are not creative as such.
