I won't be, if they end up losing this!

Apparently Oram won't be allowed to bat at his normal position either, since he went off the field earlier today.
Oh god, what happened this time, he didn't break his other toe-nail did he or was it the reoccurring grazed knee?

To be fair I caught some of this game and the preceding games and the standard of cricket hasn't been anything to tell Mum and Dad about. Kieron Pollard, Xavier Marshall and Shawn Findlay, oh ****ing dear.
Marshall should be ashamed of himself that he's worthy of being grouped with Pollard and Findlay. For that matter, Pollard should be ashamed that he's being grouped with Findlay. It's not his fault that the selectors are intent on ruining him though.

Hillarious!
What if ramdin or gayle had taken that catch ? what if pollard didn't miss his catch aswell ?

NZ were very shaky, they came out swinging knowing they don't last too long. I don't think WI had any idea how much swing would be in play today.

I blame the lost on sarwan tho.

So what you're saying is... New Zealand were lucky that the West Indies played terribly? Whilst I don't disagree with you if so, insulting your own team is an ITSTL way to troll the opposition.

Oh yeah, and stop trolling.

Lucky they didn't take all their chances.

Basically, in 1998-99, South Africa were lucky West Indies were such a dire team. Otherwise they may not have won 5-0/6-1.

And what causes dropped chances? Match-fixing? Divine intervention?

Or could it be poor cricket?
Pollard should have never been in the team, he is garbage.

But it's not everyday windies are going to make 120, and I don't see a way NZ can chase down anything above 250 vs WI.

Have you seen a NZ ODI of late?

They have more trouble setting a target or chasing a target less than 250, than they do of chasing a target over 250.

But I suppose there is no point in arguing with trolls like you.

Kieron Pollard reprimanded

http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/nzvwi2008_09/content/current/story/385649.

:huh:

Pollard was pulled up for damaging the glass panel of a dressing-room door, an incident which occurred soon after his dismissal. Adjudged lbw by umpire Mark Benson, Pollard left the field visibly disappointed - swinging his bat in disgust - and ended up venting his frustration in the pavilion. He had scored only 1, which continued his poor run in the ODI series - seven runs in three innings.

Everything

When did he mention Pollard in that post?

That's long been the biggest concern about him. His discipline and temperament is obviously highly questionable.
Everything about him is questionable, except the one that is he is the worst batsman in the team at the moment.

Marshall > Findlay, Pollard and Ramdin. Unlike the first two (at least), he has shown that he is capable of playing exceptionally against high quality bowlers.
