Sunil Narine: It's getting there. Every game, you have to try doing your best. (Bowling slower?) It's based on the pitch. You have to vary your pace. Hopefully it'll be a good chase. (On Varun Chakaravarthy) We talk a lot about cricket. Once he's back in form, it's good for our team. It's all about the first over, he bowled the first over good and that gives the momentum. Powerplay is the best time to bat.
