Phil Simmons the West Indies coach hails Narine and Pollard

Phil Simmons, the West Indies coach, on the other hand, hailed Narine and Pollard's contributions in his team's win on their comeback. Narine had just returned to the national setup after remodelling his action and Pollard was also recalled to the side despite not featuring in the domestic 50-over tournament.

"They are the two guys who took the game away from South Africa, and it showed that they're very important to our cricket," Simmons said. "Narine himself, coming back from everything he's been through, to come and perform the way he did today, you have to give him a lot of kudos for his grit and his determination, to come out of where he's been and to come back and perform like this."
