Should ahve started already:

I hope so too

[shake d livin wake d dead]

so it was clear that the infamous trio chose their IPL clubs over T&T,who could guess why?

[firstchoicett]

Dollars !!!!!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

nah it cyah be that,cuz they were offered way more by the gov't of T&T,said Mr.Roberts.

[computer]

Which station covering the T20 World Cup?

I didn't understand it at first but a press release from IPL stated that this is club cricket not cricket to represent your country. That being the case club contracts would stand.

[Skanky]

You can't really blame them.Their IPL clubs are guaranteed to be there every year whereas Trinidad is not.They may play this year for the red force but what happens if they don't make it next year or subsequent to that?In fact Trinidad not even sure to make it fully to the competition if they still in a playoff before the tournament begins.
Aside from that I think it's also pressure from the IPL bigwigs.There's a long BBM convo between Pollard and an official from the IPL floating around the net.
Besides the only man we really missing is Narine.Bravo saves runs with fielding but gives away more with his bowling of late and his batting not too consistent.Pollard is not consistent in that he'll give you one or three decent innings out of ten,the rest being failures.
