The revolution Kieron Pollard led
September 22, 2010: Kieron Pollard makes the eyebrow-raising decision to turn down a West Indies central contract in order to become a T20 freelancer. He's just 23. It positively offends some people; Michael Holding, for one, lays into Pollard, saying he is "not a cricketer".
In a way, Holding is right. Pollard is unlike anything the world had seen before. And he has been more than just a cricketer. He has been a true pioneer, a T20 trailblazer. When T20 was still in its infancy and the future seemed unclear, he dared to give up the security of a central contract, instead choosing to back his incredible all-round skills and fitness to lead the way.
If a growing number of people feel they can forego a national contract and make a living off of T20 leagues, they have Pollard to thank. To name just a couple: One of Pollard's team-mates at Mumbai Indians, Mitchell McClenaghan, did just that in 2017. And more recently, 20-year old Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq, who went toe to toe against Pollard in Lucknow last year, expressed a desire to evolve into a T20 specialist.

In reply to sgtdjones
big player dat man
In reply to sgtdjones
10,000 T20 runs is like 1000 Test Runs 
… if the ODI and Test were even close to his T20 score you coulda bump the evaluation up.
Pouty is at home with this format and at the moment comfortable; but has to win here.
And win he did.

Have no issues with Pollard in this format... But he’d do the honorable in recusing himself from ODIs. Not rocket science, even a caveman would agree. 
In reply to Cricket_101
Well captains b4 has had worse records and didn't step down...
In reply to natty_forever
his odi predecessor is an icc ranked test and odi all rounder. And makes the team(s) on merit. as opposed to Pollard.

Sarge. Divide 10,000 by 500.
Write down the answer.
In reply to FuzzyWuzzy
Great stats
How many tons in that 10000?
He sure has an excellent SR, scoring 20 after facing about 15 balls.

Fuzzy mi bwoy
Then I would have to go back and look at the 500 games and see the position he came in at, the status of the innings.
It is just, not a simple division.
In reply to sgtdjones
Sarge boy it look like Fuzzy mek yuh brain Fuzzy. As the defender of all things Pouty the obvious question that you should have asked Fuzzy is how many innings did Pouty actually bat in those 500 games. Instead you responded with that gobbledigook. Now carry on ...
In reply to Walco

But with 11 Championship rings , Pouty only gats 10 fingers?
