Like molasses going up a hill.

Simmonds looks lost.

Bad move to bring back the so called stars! Let's lose games with the young guns - Pollard et al can eat a food in IPL

You're having a good time, aren't you?

Even with your two Bajan captains in the team not amounting to one.

I have noticed Carlos Brathwaite does very well against the top spinners (he did well against them when the whole team was falling down in Sri Lanka).the captain might have to promote himself...he should have been in Narine's position today.

Any of you fackers watching Polly nowadays.

Bowlers owling short outside offstump.

Everything is a whoop or voop to leg.

He cannot make runs consistently anymore.

Not that he was ever consistent.

All balls short to him outside offside.

No more full tosses and length balls.

He will murder those balls.

Polly dunn.

Too bad cause I had he as cappo when
dem idiots gave it to Braffit.

He definitely looking like a one trick pony who is worse the wear for not having played FC cricket.

Oh well, he'as already made a tidy sum of money, and he's not yet 30.

I think he'll be fine, I'm sure he can now resort to FC cricket if he wants, if he's no longer being selected for T-20 franchises.

Maybe thats the new paradigm, use your best years securing your paper, then when you lose form or you body breaks down, then you decide if you want to bother with FC cricket

Carlos does well when he has time. Like Jason..he is more batsman than slogger.
Tecall his efforts on that Aussie tour..he outperformed all the specialist batsmen

He is coming back from a long injury layoff. He is just starting to feel a bit confident. Today was bot the day for him .
He tried to hold on to his wicket.
So what happen to Holder and the skipper? They did not shine also but nothing is said about Holder.

WoW... The one who recommends everyone multiple matches is ready with sword after 1 match...

Still the indisputable fact is that these are the players who brought the T20 WC trophy smile But the real surprise is their selection.

I remember Browne dropping all the key WC players right after the WC wanting to go youth...What happened to that great vision?

What the hell all ya spewing shit about.
Have u been watching Pollard over the years.
Everything is a swipe to the onside.
I kept saying that he is worse than Matrix.
But no one listen.

Now I'm hearing all excuses.
I watch the T20 world competitions.
The opposition knows him.
Just don't pitch it up, or give long hops.

Keep watching.

Pollards strength is his strength down the ground. He is weak through the offside so tries to play the deliveries through the legside when the bowling is not full.

Matrix has his abilities but I would still rate him well below Pollard. In PCL similar strategy was used by all the teams against him but he still played match winning innings.
