Pollard heartened by century

West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard says he is heartened by his recent performance which earned him a century and propelled Trinidad and Tobago to within sight of title honours in the Regional Four Day tournament.

Pollard’s first innings knock of 111 powered T and T to a 145-run trouncing of Jamaica within three days and signalled his return from a career threatening knee injury, reports CMC.

As a result, Trinidad and Tobago now lead the standings with 72 points, seven points clear of Wind Islands who have played all six of their matches.

“I feel good to get triple figures again. It’s always great when you actually bat for long periods,” said Pollard.

“I’ve been practicing in the nets and I’ve been doing a lot of batting, while I was rehabilitating so, for me, it’s just hard work paying off.”
