What exactly was Pollard bowling? Quickest ball was 110kph. Is he trying to find a niche in pace between Narine and Sammy?

Bonner! What a cricketer he is. Tragic that he didn't get to bowl though.

Did see the second half of the Windies innings today, I ought to say that Pollard genuinely impressed me. Could tell by his range of shots toady and the time at which he went for it showed a speck of maturity coming through. Good for him.

What happened to that awful black T20 strip we have?

Seems strange wearing the ODI strip for a T20I.

It's sort of an unwritten rule that any LOI we play at home has to be while wearing the gaudiest of ****.

I swear our away ODI strip should be worn all the time, the dominant yellow is lovely.

Prince are you getting nervous about:

a) Bailey making his Test debut soon.
b) Bailey averaging over Sarwan's 40.01.

Well we were crap today but that's no surprise considering we were missing a few key players like Russell, Rampaul, Ramdin, Simmons etc, the bowling was terrible after a great first over, Santokie was just too one dimensional and was figured out in the end, should have got way more than 150 but for once our lower order didn't fire as usual, i guess that's where we missed Russell the most.

can someone just explain to me why we're picking doherty over lyon? cause doherty has a terrible T20 record. deadset there's about 5 spinners in front of him! Lyon, Beer, Hogg, Smith, SOK - even MacGill!

I mean, you wanna slow the run-rate? Take a wicket!

add to the list of spinners Dussey btw

Same goes for Lee a bit. Although if Cummins, Bollinger, MJ etc are fit for the WC he'll probably go out.

Because he provides another death option?
but we've got watooooooooo.

It just seems to me to be a silly selection. If he could bat, sure. but he doesn't have that got that going for him either.

i also have doubts about his death bowling - i mean sure if it's the 17th over and the team is 5/110 chasing 160 he's good enough - but i cbf doing research.



add vic_orthdox to the list btw

He did a decent job of bowling yorkers in the BBL at times. It's a case of whether the radar is on, he can nail the crease line quite a bit when he's going, but you miss an early one and it can be hard to get back on track.
