HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAUN POLLOCK

 

Jack of all trades

 

 

Shaun Pollock was the first South African to 400 Test wickets

 

1973

 

When he was captain, nobody in world cricket had as much on his plate as Shaun Pollock, who was born today. Captain, premier strike bowler, lower middle-order counter-attacker, and possessor of one of cricket's more ginger tops, Pollock, son and nephew of South Africa greats Peter and Graeme Pollock, was the real deal from the moment he came in against England in 1995-96, and cracked 66 and took 4 for 34 on his one-day international debut, in Cape Town. A masterful wicket-to-wicket bowler, his average, when he passed the milestone, was the lowest of the 41 men to have taken 200 Test wickets. It was fitting then that he was the first South African to take 400 wickets. But his captaincy stint wasn't memorable. In fact, far from it. South Africa suffered a first-round exit in their home World Cup after he miscalculated the D/L score required for them to beat West Indies - that was his final game as captain. He played his fourth World Cup in 2007 but was noticeably slower, and he retired from the game the following year.

 "Chris Rogers became the first Australian opener to score five centuries after the age of 35. Matthew Hayden scored four."

 

"Four of Roger's five centuries have come against England!!!
