5 great bowlers who retired just short of a major landmark in ODIs

#2 Shaun Pollock - 393 wickets

Shaun Pollock could have become the first South African bowler to reach the 400-wicket mark

Hailing from a family of revered cricketers, Shaun Pollock did not take too long to carve a niche for himself in South African cricket. After forming a productive seam partnership with Allan Donald, the all-rounder raised the bar to become the emblem of consistency across multiple departments of the game.

With 421 Test scalps and 393 ODI wickets, Pollock is South Africa's leading wicket-taker of all-time. While his tally of Test wickets is under imminent threat from the irresistible Dale Steyn, the metronome's ODI mark is likely to remain a national record in the foreseeable future. Not the one to fuss over personal milestones, Pollock played his last ODI in 2008 despite being just seven scalps away from breaching the 400-wicket mark.
