Um, Pollard is 27. Righto Clive.
You can never use a youth policy going into a World Cup anyway. They're every 4 years ffs. Just pick your best team. Hiding behind the guise of 'looking for young talent' when it's clear there is politics at play is soft.

Rather hilarious from a guy who played for the Windies until he was 40

Lloyd "they haven't done anything exceptional"
No Bravo making the ICC one day team of the year was a very disappointing result.
You haven't done anything exceptional in your role Mr Lloyd so why don't you stand down and give someone else a go.
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.

Always thought he batted too low, has a decent record at 5.

He's also overated and done nothing special at international level

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.
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.

I rate all these guys better than Pollard and all are probably in better form.

Not a bad side on paper. Not sure where Pollard would fit into that side.

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.

So was Gayle rested or dropped from this mornings game due to his bagging of the selectors ?

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.
Yeah Bravo and Samuels are in the side regardless, and a 31 average in ODI cricket is prettt good for Simmons. Those three were compared becaude there the only positions he could probably take. He cant open, the keeper is safe, Holder is the captain and will probably bat at 8, and I have him behind Russell in the all rounders position. Id take the other three over him every day of the week.

I 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.

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.

SA make 8 changes for the ODI, Windies make 6. Amla, AB, Duminy, Steyn and Morkel the headliners.
Jason Holder making his captaincy debut I think

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.

They are an incredible side in full flight.
Started poorly but recovered beatifully with Amla and AB at the crease and they are now well and truly on track for 300+

West Indies have done well to restrict the total here. Still have SA as my World Cup favourite though.
