5 facts about Graeme Pollock

#2 The Bradman connect

Sir Don Bradman named Graeme Pollock as one of the two greatest left-handers he ever played against

When asked to name the two greatest left-handers he ever played against, the great Sir Donald Bradman mentioned the names of Garfield Sobers and Graeme Pollock – such was the latter’s reputation.

Among players who had played 20 Tests and had scored 2000 runs or more, Bradman led the pack with a Test batting average of 99.94, while Pollock averaged 60.97. After the accolades that Pollock received from the great man, it was fair that his career batting average was second-best only to Bradman.

The question does remain that had Pollock got as many opportunities as Bradman did, who would be remembered as the greatest Test cricketer to play the game?
