# 2 Shaun Pollock:
The former Proteas captain Shaun Pollock would often outfox the batsmen with his clever outswingers but Pollock was skilful while swinging the ball both ways combined with his clever change of pace. Pollock was equally deceptive on fast tracks with his pace and bounce. Pollock was a handy batsman lower down the order and has played some fine match-saving knocks.
The 46-year-old used his off-cutters smartly which batsmen found difficult to pick. Pollock was a clever operator while bowling with the new as well as the old ball.
The veteran cricketer made the batsmen make mistakes and frustrated the batsmen by containing the runs from one end. Pollock finished his career with 421 wickets in 108 Tests and 393 wickets in 303 One day Internationals.
