Pollock played cricket for Orange Free State, while his brother, Peter Pollock, was a leading fast bowler who played 28 Test matches for South Africa. Both Graeme Pollock's sons, Anthony Pollock and Andrew Graeme Pollock, played cricket for Transvaal and Gauteng, while his nephew, Shaun Pollock (son of Peter), retired from the South African Test team in 2008, played in 108 Test matches, captained the country from 2000 to 2003 and was South Africa's leading wicket-taker before being overtaken by Dale Steyn. In 2003, Pollock expressed his thoughts about the sporting boycott of South Africa: I was twenty-four. We did not give too much thought to the people who were not given the opportunities. In hindsight we certainly could have done much more in trying to get change to Southern Africa. [...] We had a good series against Australia in '67 and we probably had our best side ever. [...] Poor old Barry (Richards) played just four Tests, Mike Procter seven. But at the same time [the protesters] got it absolutely right that the way to bring about change in South Africa was in sport. It was difficult for twenty-two years ... but in hindsight it was needed and I'm delighted it did achieve change in South Africa. —Graeme Pollock Statistical analysis Notes References Printed Website External links 1944 births Living people Cricketers from Durban South Africa Test cricketers South African cricketers Eastern Province cricketers International Cavaliers cricketers Gauteng cricketers South African people of British descent White South African people South African people of Scottish descent Wisden Cricketers of the Year Wisden Leading Cricketers in the World South African cricket coaches Alumni of Grey High School
