Top 10 South African bowlers of all time

1st Test - Australia v South Africa: Day 4
The Proteas have always managed to produce some outstanding talent in the bowling department

#2 Shaun Pollock

QAS V South Africa Cricket Tour Match
A fantastic all-rounder, Pollock is South Africa's highest wicket-taker in ODIs and Tests

Tall, sharp and consistent, Shaun Pollock ruled South Africa's bowling stocks for nearly 13 long years during which he was regarded as one among the best fast bowlers in the World. The LG ICC ratings rank him as the 10th best fast bowler of all-time. He is one of the select few players with 3000 runs and 300 wickets in Test matches.

Pollock took on the mantle of captaining the South African cricket team after the Hansie-gate but resigned from the post three years hence after a disastrous miscalculation in the group stages of the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. However, he remained an integral part of both Test and ODI teams and finished with 421 Test scalps.
