PACE BOWLER Jason Holder took the final four England wickets, in as many deliveries as the West Indies won the fifth and final T20 International against England by 17 runs at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Sunday.

Holder became the first WI bowler to take a T20 hat-trick, and the fourth-ever bowler to take four wickets in four balls, as England, chasing a victory target of 180, slipped from 162/6, with five deliveries remaining, to 162 all out.

West Indies won the series 3-2 – all the matches were staged at Kensington Oval.

"It's wonderful," said Pollard. "Every single one in that dressing room, we rallied together. Every time we won a game there was something against us but we came out and rallied.

Pollard is too uncultivated. He might be the referenced empty vessel.

Logic is an empty vessel

He may be empty but you may be full of shit . . . He has the right to express himself because he is empty.

True dat. When it comes to international cricket I can only make noise. But will try to make harmonious productive sounds.

It might be Wavell Hinds.

He praised Odean too in the post match ceremony which makes me think, if all the issues surrounding Smith were brought up without his consent for political reasons... Knowing Wavell's friends and their track record, there is no surprise.

Yeah boy. Wavell is a deceptive one. Never struck me as that type of person.

Can't that fool PullFraud just enjoy the win and stop being an incessant idiot?

Pollard is only human


He is always under pressure in Wondiesland.

Pollard was only truly respected in: -
1. Trinidad n Tobago
2. Barbados (until he schooled Tino)
3. Hindia

He have never and probably will never be respected as a Wondies player.

I remember his voicenote of a few years ago.
Frustrated at treatment by President and being called Prima donna etc.

Yes, he should have shown more class yesterday
and kept quiet about the distractors.
Does he or the team have a publicist, or
someone to write his speeches or advise him.

He is human and reacted on the stress out there.

Yesterday he showed character (outside the interview).
Batted up the order, took responsibility and made 41*
Bowled Smith for his full quota
Changed up bowling well (at least to me)
Kept Holder for last over (at his home ground)genius.

I believe that the World Cup was a total debacle
With the selected team, it was always a lost.
Is Pollard to blame for the WC selection?
I do not know.

Pollard get an A+ for me for yesterday,
except for the interview.
BUT he is a frustrated man.

I support Ozzies, but supported Wondies against all else.

I suggest that you so-called supporters
Support, Support, Support.


Pollard if you reading this,
Let your bat and ball do the talking.
Do not answer critics with frustration in your voice
Learn from Tom Brady etc, say, "My thoughts are on winning the game"
The team/squad selection is getting better.

Only person I suggest you send packing is Lil Bravo.
Keep Shai Hope in the squad.
Hope to get Lewis, Mcckoy, Hetty and Rutherford soon.

BTW, who is the VC for the Hindia ODI

rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes

If the team loses the next series, he'll just blame it on the lack of talent in the WI. Pollard is a fraud.

Well i have not seen him hold up play because he was threatening a reporter in the press box a la Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards

For the record play continued uninterrupted under the vice captain. Pollard would not dare confront a member of the white press less his pampers money get cut. He only bullies his teammates.

... nor copy-catting the antics of Dinas who is on record as the greatest time waster in the cause of drawing a test match.
