fasssstt??

Somebody thought they could laugh at Pollard too.


too bad these men only seem hell bent on mashing up the careers of talented men Like Polly.

Polly actually shows far more leadership skills than any other currently playing for us in any format...


There is no reason apart from Selfish Ambition and PRIDE on both sides that is stopping us from being a world beating team again!

Based on what empirical evidence do you believe that Pollard and Bravo can take us back to being World Beaters?

In reply to voiceofreason

I was specific.

I said Pollard and speaking about Pollard here-

You question Pollards leadership?

everything rises and falls on leadership...and Pollard clearly has it.
on the wider point about working together and dropping the stupid pride..I stand by that.

In reply to powen001

So based on the results of a T20 club match, Pollard can take us back to being world beaters?

In reply to powen001

Polly is demonstrating he is the best cappo in the WI...he leads from the front with bat, ball and in the field....his presence is always noticeable....one could easily recognize who is leading....and most importantly...the players know who is the leader

Sammy is a shirker and he hides when the going gets rough...doan have balls like POlly.

Bravo is mentally weak too...even tho he would never hide...but never takes full control of the proceedings like Polly does

Ramdin buckles under pressure...and allows things to slide

Samuels is not a cappo...square peg in round hole.

Gayle is too laid back....reasonably good cappo as long all his players are performing optimumly...will lead from the front but may not be able to bring the best out of his players like Polly could.

In reply to voiceofreason

then you miss the entire thing VOR.

Regardless of the standard of players...and quite a few are world class so I dismiss your attempt to diminish the quality here,

Leadership is Leadership ESPECIALLY in times like this and it does not detract or subtract from the quality decisions made by Pollard.

and I know you know this man- the bias ting aint really cutting it - You are a leader regardless of where you are placed VOR.

Polly has tormented all of our lads for years playing for TNT...but looka life...this CPL has allowed him to be put squarely under the scrutiny of a franchise system...replete with complaining flag waving persons like yourself but especially the bajans and the trinis ...and the man is shining!

leh me know when you serious man.

In reply to Narper

man thanks!!

Absence does really make de heart grow fonder.

Last time we were a world beater in a T20 - 2012 - Pollard was a lame duck. Gayle, Johnson Charles early, Narine, and Samuels carried us there.

I hope wunna doan start thinking of leaving wunna wives fuh a high school sweetheart.

In reply to Narper

Gayle was a reasonable Cappo? Maybe compared to Shiv who was probably the worst cappo during that stretch. Anyway, Gayle said being cappo was cramping his style.

In reply to nick2020

When was the last time you checked Pollard's world beating statistics?

In reply to Narper

Still the only Cappo to win a "propper" test away this century.



...and an ODI series vs Eng in ENG.

In reply to powen001



Are your saying we should give Pollard another opportunity to cost us 42 million

many years ago before anyone called for pollard to be captain or play test cricket i broke the news... i called for him to be there..

prior to this cpl i said the same thing and was met with a lot of resistance
