JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CMC) – Power-hitter Kieron Pollard put aside his wrangling with the West Indies Cricket Board and players union WIPA, to slam a typically scintillating unbeaten half-century as he helped propel Cape Cobras to a 14-run victory in the opening round of the Ram Slam Twenty20 League here yesterday.
The right-handed Pollard hammered 72 from just 36 balls as Cape Cobras, sent in, amassed 207 for five off their 20 overs.
In reply, Titans made a game of it, reaching 193 for four, with openers Henry Davids and Dean Elgar both top-scoring with 72.
Batting first, Cape Cobras got their early momentum from Richard Levi, whose 81 required just 34 deliveries and included seven fours and seven sixes.

Pollard, the glorified club cricketer, does what he does best. Taking advantage of trundlers. A pity he cannot translate such form to the international scene where it really matters.

As opposed to the others who are picked and rated ahead of him?

West Indies all-rounder Darren Sammy conceded 23 runs from his two overs of medium pace.
Davids and Elgar then put on 151 for the first wicket which appeared to put Titans on course for victory. However, once they fell in the space of nine balls, the innings stuttered with Sammy lasting just two deliveries and making just one.
Meanwhile, big-hitting Chris Gayle also made an immediate impact, taking four wickets and cracking 52 to carry Highveld Lions to a convincing six-wicket win over Dolphins.
