TnT is well represented this IPL season. 50% of teams with a TnT representation

Teams with Trinbagonians:

Mumbai Indians: Kieron Pollard
Deccan Chargers: Darren Bravo
Chennai Superkings: Dwayne Bravo
Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine

Good luck boys!

Kevon Cooper deserved MoM in his IPL debut.  :beermug:

I was hoping that "Super Cooper" would get the MOM but the batsman Rahane had done enough to put the match out of reach of the opposition that it would have taken an even bigger effort from Cooper to get it,had he come in earlier and got about 30 in quick time it might have given him,but his stock has gone up ten-fold.Cooper could even be bigger than Polly.

Yeah, Rahane deserved that MoM award, but Cooper's contribution was big. Not sure I agree that he'll be bigger than Pollard though. Pollard's appeal is his power. Look at the people who command attention in the IPL, it is often the big hitters - Warner, Pollard or Gayle. It would be interesting to see if he can consistently put together good performances. That will be the true measure of his stock.

Cooper's fairytale journey
Kevon Cooper thought his career might be over after doubts were expressed about his bowling action, but he's now reaping dividends in the IPL

Kevon Cooper did not expect to be here. Before the IPL began, the 23-year-old allrounder from Trinidad & Tobago was just hoping he would get a game with Rajasthan Royals. But having picked up seven wickets from his first two matches, he now finds himself in possession of the Purple Cap as the tournament's leading wicket-taker. For good measure, he hit his first ball in the IPL for six. And the second for four. It was a start beyond his wildest expectations, and is a far cry from where Cooper found himself a little over a year ago.

Following the 2011 Caribbean T20, match officials raised concerns about Cooper's bowling action, placing his cricketing future in doubt. Luckily the Trinidad & Tobago government stepped in and sent him and team-mate Sunil Narine to the University of Western Australia in Perth to remodel their actions under the supervision of ICC-approved experts in biomechanics.

Over the course of ten days, using a combination of biomechanical tests and remedial exercises, Cooper practised mornings and evenings to re-learn the seemingly simple art of bowling a cricket ball. He recalled sitting in his room confused and depressed, wondering whether his career was over before it had even really begun. "That was a very difficult time for me," he told ESPNcricinfo. "[But] it taught me to never give up."

Pollard power too much for Rajasthan

The scoreboard might not tell you that but Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals gave IPL 2012 its first close high-scoring game as Wankhede Stadium cheered. The 27-run margin did not do justice to Rajasthan Royals for the way they went after an asking-rate of nearly ten an over against a quality bowling attack. This after Kieron Pollard had muscled his way to his highest IPL score and propelled Mumbai Indians to the highest total of this IPL season so far.

Pollard's all-round performance, 64 off 33 deliveries and 4 for 44, left in the shade a dazzling innings of 76 off 42 from Owais Shah, which had rudely threatened to gatecrash what had shaped up to be Pollard's night.
