I watched that part, all Manjrekar said was pollard does not have the brains to bat 3, he is a last 5-6 overs batsman. Which given pollard's performance is more than fair. Tino Best stirring up unnecessary BS trying to allege racism when there was none.

LOOK AT DA FOREIGN SLOGGERS, SO BIG AND STRONG~:laugh:

I suspect if they reopened the transfer window and gave them permission to pick a fifty foreigner, they would sign Paul Stirling.:laugh:

I think they're trying to connect it with the common stereotype of the black sportsman who is physically gifted but isn't smart. Weak stuff because Pollard genuinely did play like a dumbass.

Because they don't pick them in the T20I side. The side is picked with a view to having a look at future Test players, not winning the game/tournament.

In last year's T20 WC, we had blokes like Nevill, Agar, Hazlewood and Coulter-Nile in the side and no Lynn, Klinger or Head. Finch was the number 1 T20 bat yet didn't play every game. Shambles.

Aaron at Punjab.

Sran at Sunrisers, he isn't bad, heck he's be some of these sides main bowler, but he will struggle to get a game for Sunrisers unless injuries, so much depth.
Aaron must be in the starting XI for Punjab regularly. I don't think Punjab has a good pace attack without him. What is wrong with Maxwell?

Fair enough with respect to Sran though

Have you read pollard's tweets, i dont know about his batting but his tweeting is definitely brainless, i had to read the tweets a few times before being able to understand what he had written and what he meant.

His teammates are morons. This score isn't enough. Just 46 balls faced in 20 overs at the crease. If he'd faced like 10-12 more balls , he could've got them another 25-30.
