We need love.

The booing is wrong.

Let's boo the foreigners, if at all, not our own.

Pollard is a Windies T20 Great.

Let's get Pollard playing for a year for the home teams whose fans boo him. Like a career wind down and make peace initiative.

All that angst can't be good for the brother.

Although I believe that Pollard left too soon.
He should in no way return to Windies as a player.
I am sure that Scammy would not call him back anyhow.

There s too much insularity, disrespect, nick-picking and back-bitting.
Windies cricket is dying fast and the primary cause of death is CWI, secondary cause is Scammy.
CWI followed in the footsteps of WICBC and continues to be myopic.
History of selling their rights for pennies, (while taking Kickbacks, I guess, as I do not have proof)
Trying their best to keep the starts down,
instead of utilizing them for promotional opportunities etc.
Imaging having Lara as the image of WICBC.

I can go on forever.

Please Pollard, feed your family and continue your layalty with the Hindians,
who treated you with more respect that your home base (fans and management).

Pollard is and will always be a T20 Great.
Love and respect to him.

It's all sports...I have no issue with Pollard, I thought he like this stuff, getting into it with fans. Look at when he took the catches and turn to the fans in the mound with that " fu'" smile of his...
What he expect...roses?

West Indian youngsters are well trained at home. They will never abuse senior citizens.

This!

Pullfraud for me is nothing more than a good cricketer who is now nothing more than a clown on the field.

He was fortunate to have come along at the right time with the proliferation of these Mickey Mouse T20 leagues. In an earlier era he (along with guys like Ray Charles, DJ Dummy, Narine etc) would have ended up being nothing more than a guy who played first class cricket, a few ODIs, and had a brief but non-descript career.

allyuh dais not what pollard was talking about in thiss clip. he's talking about the perennial and existential threat to CPL and by extension, WI cricket....the failure of young players to step up.........pooran, hope, shamar and jayden aside, nobody is putting up their hands and saying I want to be a legend . that's a big issue

Tell Pullfraud to shut he piehole.

There are lots of emerging talent in the region. The problem is the lack of opportunities for those emerging players especially in the CPL.

How can you expect young players to step up when they aren't given the opportunities? Even in Pullfraud's own franchise guys like DaSilva were warming the bench most of the tournament while old has beens like Lil Idiot were stinking up the place.

Their 5th win in the year 2025 after a 5 year drought.
Let Pollard worry about TTKR as the void that Narine, Russell and himself will leave when they hang it up.

They are no greats in T20 cricket. Stop with the foolishness!

Greatness is reserved for Test or ODI cricket.
