It breaks my heart to notice how innocuous Pollock had become after 2001 or so. Yes, he was still super-accurate and very economical, but nowhere close to the penetrative bowler he was in the 90s. Loss of pace and zip off the track was a huge handicap for him, I feel.
There were a lot of times he played second fiddle to men like Ntini and Nel. Sometimes even to Langeveldt.
Still a very useful 3rd/4th bowler and a superb bowling all-rounder for his side.
Imagine England's batting line-up he was still playing. It is pretty useful as it is but the pace at which he scores would make it even more formidable.
effective one day batsman as well

Too bad he had to retire so soon. Still scores bundles in domestic games doesn't he?
