I thought of that and struck to my strength, hit it down the ground. Personally I&#39;ve never felt out of form. I&#39;ve been hitting it well in the nets and these are the times you&#39;ve to dig in,&quot; Pollard said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Krunal came in and showed his maturity too. It was a matter of watching what their bowlers. We decided that if we get a six or four off every spinner&#39;s over, we will get close if we keep it ticking and not play any dot balls,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pollard&#39;s efforts outshone his West Indies teammate Samuel Badree, who bowled a fiery spell, including a hat-trick, to be adjudged the Man-of-the-Match.<\/p>\r\n",
