Um, Pollard is 27. Righto Clive.Clive Lloyd, the former West Indies captain and current chairman of selectors, has said that the absence of "exceptional performances" from the pair of Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard, coupled with the selection panel's vision to move forward and look for young talent, were the chief reasons for omitting the two senior allrounders for the ODIs against South Africa and the World Cup.
Um, Pollard is 27. Righto Clive.
Lloyd "they haven't done anything exceptional"Rather hilarious from a guy who played for the Windies until he was 40
Pollard averages 25 with the bat and 38 with the ball in ODI's - he may be a millionaire because of IPL and T20 but I am prepared to back Clive on this one.Um, Pollard is 27. Righto Clive.
Always thought he batted too low, has a decent record at 5.Pollard averages 25 with the bat and 38 with the ball in ODI's - he may be a millionaire because of IPL and T20 but I am prepared to back Clive on this one.
There is no way back for the West Indies.

Who do they have that is better? Dwayne Bravo averages 25 with the bat, it's not like he's got awesome stats either.He's also overated and done nothing special at international level
0 Tests - can't all be related to being out of favour, I'm confident his best is behind him, which is sad, but T20 isn't going to make him any better or get him any fitter.Who do they have that is better? Dwayne Bravo averages 25 with the bat, it's not like he's got awesome stats either.
Pollard is a game changer, huge fan. Has made 3 pretty awesome ODI hundreds, it is wrong to say he's done nothing at international level.
Middle order roles: Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Darren BravoWho do they have that is better?
Russell better than Pollard? Must be kidding.Middle order roles: Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo
All rounders: J Carters and Andre Russell
Russell is a far superior bowler to Pollard. And averages more with the bat, but thats probably because hes down the order. As all rounders go, id take Russell ahead of him. I think youre over rating him a tad. Quite an average cricketer to this point.Russell better than Pollard? Must be kidding.
Bravo and Samuels would be in the side anyway (and not really competing for Pollard's spot) so I don't see why they need to be compared.
Simmons is much of a muchness for me. He's a pure bat, normally top order so gets more of a go, and only averages 31.
Carters I don't know anything about.
I think you're quite overrating Russell as well to be fair. Perhaps we're both guilty of it.Russell is a far superior bowler to Pollard.

Yeah you're probably rightI think you're quite overrating Russell as well to be fair. Perhaps we're both guilty of it.
It's probably just a sad reflection on where they are at that we are fighting over who is better out of Pollard and Russell.Yeah you're probably right
Hahah yeah true. I was thinking the same!It's probably just a sad reflection on where they are at that we are fighting over who is better out of Pollard and Russell.
Correct both very overrated players. They can muscle the ball that's about it. pollard looks horribly unfit.It's probably just a sad reflection on where they are at that we are fighting over who is better out of Pollard and Russell.
Amla, de Qock, du Plessis, de Villiers, Duminy, Behardien, Miller, Philander, Steyn, Morkel, Tahir. That's with Abbott, Parnell, Phangiso and Rossouw on the sidelines. Tsotsobe very unlucky IMO.Amla and ABDV... whoever wins the world cup has gotta weasel these blokes out early . Incredible batsmen
