Pollard not happy with soft dismissal – Cricket News Update

The Windies were in a precarious position when Pollard came at the crease, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 all walking back in the space of four overs. At 50 for 3, the tourists required a rebuilding act from their usually explosive all-rounder, and although he managed to curb his attacking nature for a short while, his departure in the 23rd over again marked a staggering collapse for his side, from which they never really recovered.

That considerably dented the tourists’ charge, which then lost quick wickets in a dramatic 10-over period. The set Bravo fell next over, before skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233 helped them set a target of 200.
It eventually proved below par on a placid Khulna track as the home side celebrated victory with 58 balls to spare. Pollard was disappointed at the way he got out, but backed himself to clear the ropes if offered a similar delivery in the upcoming clash.
"It was an innings that was needed today, because we had lost three wickets," Pollard said. "That ball, nine out of ten times, you'd hit it out of the ground, to the boundary. Little extra bounce, hit it straight to the fieldsman.
"It is a soft dismissal. But that's the way it is, I was just trying to play to the situation. If I get the same ball tomorrow, I will try to play the same shot as well. This time it will go to Dhaka."
