Graeme Pollock

Don Bradman, the greatest batsman of all time, believed that this man was the best left-hand batsman he had seen. Graeme Pollock, whose career lasted only 23 Tests because of South Africa's isolation, proved his class with 2256 runs at an average of 64, hitting seven centuries, including a career-best 274. Now 73, Pollock has seen plenty of cricket and he likes what Virat Kohli brings to the table, although he urges fans to curb their enthusiasm a touch when comparing him to some of the players who came before. "I think he is a wonderful player," said Pollock of Kohli.
