Considering Shaun
Pollock's gene pool, it's no surprise that he is one of the most
talent players in cricket today and captain of the South African
team. Shaun is a formidable opponent on the cricket pitch.
Shaun grew up 'living and breathing' cricket as his dad, Peter
led the South African team through the 1960s and his uncle,
Graeme, set new standards as one of the finest left-handers
in the game. Shaun made his test debut against England in 1995
where his raw, aggressive talent on the field proved he could
play with the 'big boys'.
An ankle injury in 1996 temporarily took him out of play but
it wasn't long before he reached international acclaim as the
straightest bowler in world cricket.
Shaun will always be remembered
for the stamina and determination he showed in Adelaide in
1998, when he toiled for hour after hour under a blazing sun
to take seven for 87 in 41 overs on a perfect batting pitch.
A strong leader, Shaun recently celebrated South Africa's victory over Australia,
but he's renowned for being a real team player as well, as demonstrated in
an interview after the Australian game - "Everyone came on board. We fielded
well and there were a couple of run-outs which was good for us," - Pollock
took the man of the match award with bowling figures of three for 25. May
it continue!
