10 greatest South African cricketers of all time

#2. Graeme Pollock

Regarded by Don Bradman as the 'best left-hand batsman along with Garry Sobers, Graeme Pollock was indeed one of the finest players ever produced in cricket.

His batting average of 60.97 (only second to Bradman) in Tests is a testimony to his batting prowess which includes 18 fifty plus scores in 41 innings.

With South Africa suffering under divisive and racist apartheid, the cricket team saw a ban from international competition. As a result his career was cut short and unfortunately, he played only 23 Tests.

However such was his class, despite playing for such short duration, he was selected as the 'South Africa's player of the 20th century' and Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1966.
