mtkr Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 July 16 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAUN POLLOCK Jack of all trades Shaun Pollock was the first South African to 400 Test wickets 1973 When he was captain, nobody in world cricket had as much on his plate as Shaun Pollock, who was born today. Captain, premier strike bowler, lower middle-order counter-attacker, and possessor of one of cricket's more ginger tops, Pollock, son and nephew of South Africa greats Peter and Graeme Pollock, was the real deal from the moment he came in against England in 1995-96, and cracked 66 and took 4 for 34 on his one-day international debut, in Cape Town. A masterful wicket-to-wicket bowler, his average, when he passed the milestone, was the lowest of the 41 men to have taken 200 Test wickets. It was fitting then that he was the first South African to take 400 wickets. But his captaincy stint wasn't memorable. In fact, far from it. South Africa suffered a first-round exit in their home World Cup after he miscalculated the D/L score required for them to beat West Indies - that was his final game as captain. He played his fourth World Cup in 2007 but was noticeably slower, and he retired from the game the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
