CricInfo:

Akshet: "Last time i remember MS Dhoni dropping a catch was when i wasn't old enough to remember anything"

17.3 Dinda to Pollard, no run, dropped. yorker-length delivery outside off, Pollard looks to squeeze this behind point but gets a healthy edge through to Dhoni who fluffs a low chance to his right.

It's Pollard's day.

I was thinking maybe its the kinda luck he needs to get out of this slump.

I would love to see him find some form.

Seeing a WI cricketer continuously fail gives me little joy

Pollard the great cricketer

In terms of Mumbai's firepower at the end of the innings:

Here's Kieron Pollard. Over the last two years, he scores at 10.51 per over in the last five overs when Mumbai bat first in the IPL. When they chase, it's 12.57.


Today

View dismissal KA Pollard c Agarwal b Stokes 27 17 3 1 158.82


First, before we criticize think of what the coach wants Polly to do !!!

Stokes to Pollard, OUT, stunner from Mayank at long-on. Flat hit that was dying on him but he did well to attack the ball and put in an instinctive dive to pluck that inches from the ground. Lets out an expletive which I can't type here. Stokes, Dhoni run up to congratulate their mate. Pollard was struggling to time the ball since being hit on the elbow

By the laws of the game, he was out man lol

Hoping he'll have a good IPL regardless, regain some confidence.

I still have hopes of the IPL-ers contributing to WI cricket

Pollard has become a pinch hitter, 3-4 overs is good enough for him these days.

 
openning 2017-04-06 14:18:12 

Steve Smith is a class act, our youngsters can learn a lot about batsmanship from him

"It's a nice place to bat, Pune," says Steven Smith, Pune captain and Man of the Match. "Fortunate to get over the line in the end. We always knew they would have to get an over in from a spinner or Pollard and we had to target them
Steven Smith ranks Polly as a waste of a "bowler." Lampy-Pampy toss-ups.... hahahaha.

 
Ridge 2017-04-06 14:56:30 

Smith took him to the cleaners.

 
navindesigns 2017-04-06 15:02:20 

y on earth is his bowling in the 20th over?

He's done so successfully before.

Not much choice. It was either Polly or a spinner.

19.5

Pollard to Smith, SIX, and that is the game. Full, on middle, Smith walks across and flicks it over midwicket. Times it superbly and the ball carries the distance

Fine leg and third man inside the circle.

19.4

Pollard to Smith, SIX, is that the game! Smith launches one into the long-on stands and it is a humongous hit. Back of a length, outside off. It was a slower ball and took some serious hitting from Smith who clobbers it
19.3

Pollard to Dhoni, 1 run, length ball, Dhoni cannot time this pull shot and the ball is fielded at the deep
19.2

Pollard to Smith, 1 run, Smith walks across towards off. Pollard bowls it full and Smith whips it away to deep backward square leg where Vinay Kumar tidies up

Pollard in the 20th over in the IPL - 11.15 economy rate


19.1

Pollard to Dhoni, 1 run, shortish, Dhoni tries to pull and drags it straight down the ground as the ball crashes into the stumps at the non-striker's end

Thirteen needed off the last over. Pollard to bowl lol lol

It wasn't looking like such a bad idea...until the 2nd six.lol

It was a gamble

It has worked before.

I'm pretty sure i've seen Polly defend 12 in a final over already at the IPL..but he wasnt bowling to Steve Smith

Polly would be the first to agree with you
