Shaun Pollock : The South African Sun
- Karthik Narayan

Having played in the backyard games with his uncle, this young man came up against the English in his debut test at Centurion Park in 1995. And he made his name hit the headlines with the wickets of the BIG THREE of English cricket at that time: Mike Atherton, Graeme Hick and Graham Thorpe. The icing on the cake was being coached by the legendary Malcolm Marshall himself. Shaun always referred to the great West Indian fast bowler as his mentor.

They say bowlers, fast bowlers especially, hunt in pairs; and Pollock soon found his ally in the fearsome fast bowler Allan Donald. Together, these cricketers have shown the Springboks a new door to success. Both match winning bowlers individually capable of tearing apart bating line-ups. They complimented each other very well indeed; Donald with his fierce speed and Pollock with immaculate accuracy, and amazing consistency in line and length in every game that he bowled in. In fact, this pace duo of Donald and Pollock was rated one of the game’s most fiercest and finest bowling pair of all time. While at one side, Donald would have the batsmen hopping with pace, the batsmen would look for respite at the other end, but Pollock would do the killing job with his famous accurate “three-quarters” length.
