This South African is regarded as the finest left-handed batsman to have played the game. Even Don Bradman rated him as one of the greats.
He played at a time there was not much international cricket played.
In a career that spanned seven years, he had a batting average of 61, next only to Bradman.
A magnificent timer of the ball, Graeme Pollock's 274 was a South African record for many years. In his 23 Tests career, he scored 7 centuries and 11 fifties.
