Profile
Shaun Pollock is the son of former Test pace man Peter and nephew of batting great Graeme Pollock. A loose-limbed fast bowler with an awkward bouncer, Pollock is always a threat. He has the ability to seam the ball and get bounce even on flat wickets. Pollock has a good slower ball and sometimes bowls a delivery that comes into the right-hander and then moves away off the pitch. As a batsman, he is aggressive, and can hit the ball very hard. He has all the qualities to become a top class all rounder. He is currently the captain of the side.
