For various reasons, Narine’s Test career lasted only six games, in which he took 21 wickets at an average of 40.52. He was much more productive in limited overs cricket, as his strike rates of 21.25 in T20Is and 26.46 in ODIs suggest, compared to 78.5 in Tests.

This, of course, has no bearing on how Lawes might fare. He is a much different bowler with much different strengths and characteristics, and will pose different equations for batters to solve. He seems to possess the tools to succeed in all formats. His left-arm unorthodox style is a rare form of bowling that will pose rare problems for opposition batters. If he achieves a high level of precision he will be a real asset in cricket’s longest format. As it was in the ODIs, playing him will be something of a risk. But he has the goods to do a good job and the payoff could be grand.

West Indies cricket has been looking for match-winners. They do not come along often, and when they do they rarely arrive without uncertainty. Lawes could fail in Tests, but he also has the kind of skills that can help win Test matches. That possibility alone may justify taking the chance.

During the peak of the day, the blazing sun heats the pitch. This causes hot air to rise rapidly, creating microscopic "thermal turbulence" and convection currents above the surface. As the sun sets, this ground heating stops. The air immediately stabilizes and becomes incredibly smooth, allowing a spun or swerving ball to cut through the air with unbroken aerodynamic flow. (Physics)

When the humidity is high and the sun setting, Lawes will become exceptionally dangerous because these specific conditions created maximum air stillness, eliminating the thermal turbulence that usually disrupts flight movement.

He will be highly deceptive when finding his rhythm.

High humidity and when the sun is setting but CWI doesn't have the grey matter to propel him to higher levels.

Did you notice the last game played when the sun was out, he was not a threat. Its difficult to find his rhythm when the temperature and wind causes the hot air turbulence to move . He needs the sun setting and no turbulence.

He needs to attack the wear and tear the batmen feet leaves on the pitch Lawes need to be coached about leg spin bowling...he has no coach on CWI that can help him.

He will not improve with the present setup. Its sad.

Why should he play ahead of Motie or Warrican?
