3 cricketers whose career halted due to apartheid regime 1

Graeme Pollock : 3 cricketers whose career halted due to apartheid regime 2He is perhaps the finest ever left-handed batsman the game has ever seen. Graeme’s style of cricket was no less beautiful than Don Bradman or Garry Sobers. If he got the opportunity to play more internationals than he might have been regarded as the finest ever left handed batsman.  He was another talent who was a victim of South Africa’s international isolation from cricket.

He played 23 Test matches for South Africa, his highest score is 274. Pollock had a powerful wrist which helped him to play the powerful shots. The perfect timing was his most obvious natural talent and he was a great batsman against leg spinner. At the age of 16, he scored his first hundred and first Test hundred at the age of 19 in Australia. Part of the cricketing Pollock family, brother of Peter; among younger generation he is remembered as an uncle of legendary Shaun Pollock.
