Gayle's done pretty well in previous BBL seasons, just this last season was quiet. Couldn't get started. That's the difference between him and the rest, once he's in then he piles on the runs in T20s - so dangerous!
No sign of Jack Ryder, and he's had 24 hrs since Narine was picked, so I will go ahead and make a selection. It's not a big loss anyway...3 good options here, no matter who is chosen.
Kieron Pollard
Antigua is proud to unveil Kieron Pollard as our icon player! Pollard is a great example of the modern T20 player: A feared hitter in the middle order; a useful bowler; an agile fieldsman; and a player sought after to play in T20 leagues everywhere!
Pollard is only 25 and still developing his game, a scary thought for opposition bowlers (and a good reason to make him icon player - he will be a fixture for a long time). Pollard's domestic T20 strike rate of 160 puts him among the very best. That gives him the 10th highest S/Rate in T20 history, and none ahead of him on that list have scored even half the T20 runs that Pollard has.
His international record looks a bit thin, but it was tainted by a lot of failures early in his career when he was very raw. Consider this: in 20 T20Is from 2008-2010 Pollard scored 190 runs, averaging 12.66, S/R of 124.18. Poor performances. Since then he has 307 T20I runs in 15 matches, averaging 34.11, S/R of 169.61.
He will be the perfect man to put the exclamation mark on an innings with his ability to intimidate bowlers and clear the boundaries with ease. Also provides good value in the field and while he's not a particularly economical bowler, he can be a good wicket taking option and will be handy as my 4th seamer.
