Pollard goes out possibly retired hurt or is this a strategic retirement? Have to wait for an official word. for want of better SR, never mind that Russell run-out next ball. Pollard retired out? A new chapter in T20 cricket?! About right that it came on this poor pitch. While some joked he went out to take a nap or answer nature's call. Pollard walking off because of him struggling in the middle might start a new trend of players walking off midway during the innings to help the team's cause. After Dwayne Bravo got out, Pollard returned and made a contribution to that 142, hitting a six off the last ball of the innings.Īfter which, Michael Atherton on air confirmed that Pollard had retired ill as informed by the umpires. Nicholas Pooran with an attacking knock of 40 off just 22 balls and some late strikes from Jason Holder helped the West Indies get to 142. However, it went from bad to worse for the Windies as Russell was run-out on the non-striker's end even before facing a ball. The defending champions would have hoped that a new batter, fresh legs that too of Russell would bring some momentum to their innings. West Indies were in the middle of a slugfest on a slow Sharjah surface and Pollard retiring hurt brought Andre Russell. However, many fans suggested and wondered if he has retired out as Pollard was struggling to time the ball and had scored just eight runs off 16 balls.

Back in 2020, the Australian women's team won the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in front of a record crowd at home at the MCG. The official scorecard said that Pollard had retired hurt due to excessive heat. Australia, under Aaron Finch, lifted their first ICC Men's T20 World Cup trophy with an emphatic win against New Zealand in Dubai.

The Aussies will now have to win three matches in a row to avoid a second straight series loss after going down 4-1 to the West Indies last month.It was a bizarre event in the middle as West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard started walking off the field midway during the 13th over of his side's batting innings against Bangladesh in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup. “It’s just in these conditions against our batters who are probably used to facing faster spinners, it‘s a big change for us, so we’ve got to come up with a way to combat that as intelligently as possible as a batting team.” “They’ve got the advantage of having played here so many times, but a lot of their spin bowlers were bowling less than 80 kilometres an hour, that’s not to say that’s going be successful all the time. “It probably helps that maybe they’ve played possibly in monsoon season here on this wicket. “I thought they were actually a bit smarter than us to be honest,” Henriques said.

Picture: Munir Uz zaman / AFPīatting issues have haunted the Aussies without skipper Aaron Finch at the top of the order and David Warner also at home in locked-down Sydney.Īustralia went 24 balls without a boundary near the end of their innings and managed just 34 runs in the final six overs as the Bangladesh bowlers exploited the slow pitch conditions. “It’s quite clear it’s not going to be a 160 or 180, 200-run wicket, but we still need to find a way to just get a few more out whether it’s 140, 150, whatever it might be we, just need to hustle a little bit.”Īustralian captain Matthew Wade has some issues in Dhaka. “We have to find a way in a very short turnaround to combat that and try and get as many runs as possible,” Henriques said post-match. The Aussies have now produced scores of just 121 and 137 in the two games, not enough despite the tough conditions. Only Mitch Marsh, again, with 42 and Moises Henriques (30 off 25) showed any batting resistance, with young opener Josh Philippe again failing to produce the score selectors hoped for. The loss is Australia’s sixth from seven T20 matches across the tours of the West Indies and now Bangladesh.īatting first on a wicket that was described as “challenging” in Dhaka, the tourists scrambled to just 7-121, losing 5-18 in a 23-ball stretch before the home team went on to reel in the total with overs to spare. On Tuesday Australia lost for the first time in a T20 clash to Bangladesh and a return to the same venue in Dhaka 24 hours later produced the same result.Īustralia has never won the T20 World Cup, and with a raft of first-choice players sitting at home after opting out of the tours of the West Indies and Bangladesh, and with no more warm-up matches scheduled beyond the current series, preparations for the October tournament have not gone to plan. A batting collapse of alarming proportions was the catalyst for a second successive Australian T20 defeat to Bangladesh, continuing a horror run months out from the World Cup.
