Pollard versus Simmons vs Smith : TEST - ketchim - 05-10-2014
17.6
Ashwin to Pollard, OUT, whatay catch! slow carrom ball, and Pollard's top hand comes off as he slogs
at it. Connects fairly well, and Raina, running to his right, takes it the Australian way,
hands pointing up, but it nearly pops out. He somehow keeps it in his grasp as he falls to the floor.
Pollard c Raina b Ashwin DUCK

Ashwin to Simmons, OUT, he's gone. clears his front leg, swings hard,
but can only hit it down long-on's throat.

Fires it down the leg side as he sees Raina stepping down the pitch.

Dwayne Smith:
"I'm just trying to stay as consistent as I can. I thought they bowled very well up front,
especially Harbhajan, just had to stay out there and get as much as I could."

Simmons isn't an "all rounder", not by a stretch. What makes you think so? I'm not setting high standards, both Pollard and Smith are allrounders - but I would certainly not count Simmons as one.
I would say based on stats and whatnot, Pollard is way ahead of Smith. Although since you're bringing in IPL performance, Smith's been consistent - I don't know if that matters though.
