You just can't do this sort thing at International one day cricket.

This has been one of the most pathetic performances i've ever seen, we're not even making schoolboy errors, this is schoolgirl errors, the sooner they pi$$ off home the better, bunch of clowns running around in the great WI shirt, bar Pollard, Roach, Deonarine and maybe Ramdin i really wouldn't give a sh1t if none of them played for WI again.

Shame Roach is not playing, Ponting has been scoring at nearly a run a ball against him in this series.

Do you think his bowling could survive in Test cricket? it would be interesting seeing him bowling on the Indian pitches, he's just seems to be getting better and better now and it can't be long before he's with the test side.

Certainly couldn't be picked as one of the top 4 bowlers. What he could allow them to do is play him as the number 6 batsman who bowls a bit, let Bravo be picked as one of the best four bowlers and bat him at 7.
Seriously, which bowlers would you currently rather than Bravo? I'd say, from what I've seen, its only Edwards, Taylor and Roach. And as soon as one of those three aren't fit, then it suits the team.
Gayle
Barath
Sarwan
Chanderpaul
Nash
Pollard
Bravo
Ramdin
Taylor
Edwards
Roach/Benn
Inevitably, fast bowlers get injuries. And I think that team looks better balanced. Maybe if all three quicks are fit, then it'd result in Pollard being pushed out.

Would be shocked to see him in white at this point. As I see it, he's competing with Bravo (when fit) at 6 and he won't win that battle in either discipline (definitely not bowling). Not yet anyway. Bravo's just more likely to hit a ton or take a 5-fer at this stage.

Completely agree if they are competing for spots. I guess by the looks of things he also has to overtake Deonarine as a pure batsman.

Yeah, agree with that, reckon they're about on par with the ball with Deonarine the better bat right now. Depends on how much faith the WI selectors have in Bravo as a 4th too. Reckon if Bravo was to be the 4th behind the three pacers, the WI selectors would be more likely to pick Deonarine to roll his arm over as the 5th/spinner than Pollard as 5th bowling CZHarrismeds.

I wonder if Gibson can add more pace to his bowling? i'm a big fan of Bravo but i think Pollard has the potential to be a mega player for us in the future.

Would normally be hugely against it, but I wouldn't mind seeing Pollard come in at four or so today when he has more time to play a proper innings.

Just imagining him, scared rabbit-style, pushing singles for the rest of his innings, trying to comprehend what he'd just done.Clarke six
