Graeme Pollock, the South African golden great would like to see visiting teams being awarded the advantage of the toss in alternate Tests to make it a level playing field. More so, after he learnt about South African captain Faf du Plessis's poor luck with the toss in all three Tests of the Freedom Series that ended in Ranchi yesterday.

However, Pollock, 75 won't entertain any excuses for South Africa's poor returns in the Test series. "This is very disappointing to see, a shocking performance," Pollock told mid-day from Johannesburg yesterday after the 3-0 humiliation. No visiting South African has ever been beaten so convincingly on Indian soil before and Pollock was pained at the result. "It was not a decent contest. Nobody looked like getting a good number of runs or wickets. It was an absolute flat show," remarked Pollock, who knows a thing a two about whitewashes. The 1969-70 SA team which he was part of smashed a top Australian side 4-0.
