They may be fighting for a place in the Kolkata Knight Riders' team, but senior spinner Brad Hogg revealed that fellow mystery spinner Sunil Narine is now bowling within the ICC's permitted 15 degrees of flexibility. The 45-year old Hogg also warned that Narine is still 'difficult to pick' despite the re-correction in his action. "I remember taking some balls from him (at training) and his action was perfect," Hogg said. "We all know he can do it without the restriction, he can do it legitimately. "Let me tell you I was struggling to pick him up from other end when he was bowling the doosra - I thought it was going the other way," Hogg said. Narine missed out on KKR's victory against Delhi Daredevils on Sunday after flying home to Trinidad due to his father's death. The West Indies spinner has re-joined the squad and will be fighting for the overseas spinner's spot with Hogg, who had claimed match-winning three wickets against the Daredevils.
