Pollard and Tino Best angry at Manjrekar

Most people say these things online and on here on forum and on social media, however you shouldn't say that as commentators. 

 

It does look pretty harsh when commentators talk like that about an international player who might not be a great no.3 but surely a decent bat who has slogged his way to many wins for his teams.

 

Surely deserves more respect than that.

Agreed. But, it seems Tino and Pollard are implying that he was being racist.  Was he?

They are acting insane themselves if they are saying it was racist, but like I said, it is frustration from Manjrekar's comment which is making them say what they said.

 

Everyone having "Brainfade".:giggle:

Alan Wilkins said the same thing during WT20. Any way doesn't have the technique/ skill is different from calling brainless...Manju may not have implied that here in a racial tone but sure comes across that way...big brainless oaf is what he indirectly said....even hack would have been acceptable which pollard of course is.

Everyone is angry at Manju....just for being Manju.

 

Stupid of them to suggest it had racial undertones. 

Agreed...as I said may not be about his race but more like a big muscular guy is automatically assumed to be brainless kind of a scenario.

 

inact pollard is a very smart man....he has conned his way to be a million dollar franchise player among all the leagues across the world while nothing to show for with his performances.

Pollard -

6967 runs, Average 30.42, SR 151.78

233 wickets, Average 23.68, Economy 8.08 rpo

 

Rohit -

6214 runs, Average 33.05, SR 131.40

29 wickets, Average 28.17, Economy 7.80 rpo

 

Both are same age (29), started playing cricket around the same time. Pollard mostly bats at #6, Rohit mostly bats in the top 4.

 

Arguably Pollard is a better T20 player than Rohit.
