Mumbai Indians in trouble at 56/4

First ball six.

Now then.


And out!


Away goes Pollard. Brilliant catch.

In reply to Verstehen

Nothing more than the genius of MSD.

In reply to jen

Yeah.

Along came the crab without head.

In reply to Verstehen

Along comes Pollard with another trophy in his hand

In reply to Acid

In reply to Verstehen

Sorry, along came VOR..............

Didn't you hear???

In reply to jen

Nope, pure brainless batting by Pollard.
Dhoni did that back in the 2010 final, Pollard's first year in the IPL, and has been doing it both with India and T20 teams anytime he comes up against Pollard and many a time Pollard has fallen.

In reply to Verstehen

One of the only 3 batsmen in Mumbai team to score more than 300 Runs this season

How ironic

He is one of the first overseas players that Mumbai protects
during drafts

Plus the player is classified as a nonentity in cricket on the forum by West Indians.

In reply to sgtdjones

Look at his record for Windies and you'll understand private Jones

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

But, but, limestone fuzz head

We are not privy to the instruction given to him by his coaches.

Only then can we be critical.

This player is in demand werld wide, that says something

In reply to sgtdjones

So is Dwayne Smith. So what. Recall him too?

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Jonty Rhodes

Watch this limestone Fuzzy

Dwayne who ????

In reply to sgtdjones

Again look at their international records

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Limestone Fuzzy

I just look at the number of trophies won by the team he is on.

International records are quickly forgotten.

In reply to Discourse

Once VOR said something, this thing was done.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

youre a strong advocate for Shai Hope and only support Bajan cricketers in a WI team. What's his international record for West Indies?

In reply to imusic

Show me one instance where I big up Shai Hope. Now if you said Paint you would be correct but you have no interest in facts ony the ted white and black. Be careful sarge Jones has usurped your position

In reply to imusic

You are accusing him with the wrong Bajan!! His wonder kid is Jonathan Carter

In reply to Verstehen

Dem guys don't learn

In reply to Pacy

Wrong again.. wunnuh can only catch me with Paint. Full stop

Carry on Pollard,jess mek dem FN haters cringe with jealousy,dem soon get brain hemorrhage.

In reply to Acid

Touche!

Dupe

In reply to sgtdjones

Pollard's contribution to the WI team as a batsman has been disappointing.If the coaches instruct him to play in a manner to fail, he is certainly carrying out these instructions. His brainless batting (if it is so) can only be blamed on him.

In reply to Acid

Same thing hey used to say about Lara.
Lara was wanted all over d world except here. Polly is a joy to watch along with the other Windians.
Who cares if he failed in d last match.
He was very good during the tournament .I would say he it is who helped the Krunal brothers blossom.

Pollard is great value at the franchise level, no one should debate that, whether for Mumbai, Trinidad before CPL and now Barbados. He's as good as you will get for a boundary rider, dives, takes blinder, hardly ever drops a catch and does play the match winning innings here and there plus can chip in with a few overs.

For windies, nothing to write home about. As one poster mention, same as Dwayne Smith. Those players i'd gladly have in my franchise teams but far down my list when international cricket comes calling.

In reply to Andy99

Well you are correct, but why I say the genius of MS, is that he has used it but others haven't really used that to Pollard. Is the straightest fielders i've ever seen watching high level cricket to be honest. But you're right to the extent that if it always being done and you falling for it, you gotta get blame. In a way, it was disappointing because by Pollard's calibre, I was expecting that full pitch ball to go way back into the crowd. Guess the field played on his mind.

In reply to jen

You ever mistime a ball?

In reply to imusic

He does mistime too many put aways which is the let down for many who saw him as a teen. That moment when the glasses man, who is a quarter of a leggie out Pollard after he hit a six then point to his temple still stuck in my craw.

what a hypocrite

In reply to tc1

shhhhhhh

In reply to tc1

What's up pot?

In reply to jen

Pollard was never given a run like a Sammy or Holder is getting now neither is he given one as Carlos.
He is in and out of the squad.
Give him the same settled time and he will perform.

In reply to rillo

Do you know pollard was in windies odi set up since 2007?

What more run he needs? I'll bet he's played more matches than Jason and Carlos combined and perhaps just as much as Sammy. ..if not more.
