The blistering West Indian all-rounder, Kieron Pollard, has aimed to deliver his best in the crucial five-match One-day International (ODI) series against India, starting from today, June 6, 2011.
The two will meet in the first ODI at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, where the home side suffered a humiliating 16-run Twenty20 defeat on Saturday, June 4, 2011.
Pollard, who failed to make a place in the national Twenty20 set-up, is confident of demonstrating an impressive show and making a good impression in the series.
“I have been training well and batting well so I’m eagerly looking ahead to this series. My form is there and I’m hitting the ball well. It’s a matter of me trying to get off to a good start and try to get the team off to a winning start when things kick
off,” said Pollard.
Pollard represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians (MI) in the just-concluded fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Although, he could not manage to hit a big knock in the T20 league, he showed a lot class with the ball, picking up 10 wickets in the tournament.
The attacking all-rounder, who is famous for his towering sixes in the death overs, further described that he will look to give a supporting hand to his team's batting line-up which failed to fire in the recent T20 game against Men in Blue.
“We have a very good team. We have a lot of players who have done well at the international level and I’m sure they will be looking for more good performances at this level. We are fully aware of what is required and we will be looking to go out and do the
job for the people of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760,” added the dazzling all-rounder.
The 24-year old all-rounder made his debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in 2007 but he is yet to find consistency at the highest level. Pollard has participated in 39 ODIs in which he holds an average of just 20.74.
However, Pollard is hopeful of improving his ODI stats during the imminent series despite admitting the fact that the Indian side will prove to be a tough opposition.
