10 greatest South African cricketers of all time

#3. Shaun Pollock

South Africa's leading wicket-taker in Tests, Shaun Pollock's batting average of 32.31 reveals why he is one of the most valuable players in Test cricket.

A man with effective bowling action, sharp pace and plenty of variations, Pollock tagged with Donald to form one of the most dangerous pace-bowling attacks in Test cricket. His bowling prowess was reflected when he grabbed seven wickets on a batting pitch at Adelaide against Australia in 1997.

His batting too was effective and he was a useful batsman lower down the order. He has two Test hundreds and 16 fifties to his name.
