Windies' Pollard becomes first cricketer to play 400 T20 matches

He is head and shoulders above the player with the second-most number of T20 matches.

Playing for the Adelaide Strikers on Monday in the Australian Big Bash League, against Melbourne Renegades, West Indies' Kieron Pollard became the first cricketer to notch up 400 Twenty20 matches in his career.

This number includes the matches played for the national side, the long list of franchises and Trinidad and Tobago.

In 400 Twenty20 matches, Pollard has amassed 7830 runs to go with 243 wickets. His all-round ability to go with a safe pair of hands makes him one of the sought-after T20 players around the world.

Pollard plays in pretty much every T20 cricket league around the world, right from the biggest of the lot (the Indian Premier League), the Bangladesh Premier League, the Pakistan Super League, the NatWest T20 Blast, to his home country's Caribbean Premier League, the CSA T20 Challenge, among others.

He should be fully loaded - 20/20 is the cricket of the future!

Yet he's never ever really contributed for the WI. I fail to see how this is an achievement? Was it ever noted when a Windian played 400 matches in the counties for eg?
