SSN are reporting Shaun Pollock's retirement from Test cricket.

Outstanding bowler IMO, and a better batsman than he was given credit for. Would have been a shoo-in for a World XI for a large part of his career.

He and Allan Donald were some combination :agree:

Agree, sad to see him leave the test arena:agree: He destroyed the Windies yesterday as well, shows he still has something left in the tank.

Won't forget the Scotland fans chanting at him "Ritchie from Happy Days, Ritchie from Happy Days...":greengrin

Very good when he was younger. Straight and quick he formed a formidable partnership with Alan Donald. Donald was very scary. Pollock more steady, attritional.

I have to say I think he hung about a bit longer than he should have.

He's got a bit more bowling to do over the next few days -- the Windies need only bat for three days to get a draw! :wink:

He's mebbe not the fastest but, as they would say there, blerry accurate.
