The face of cricket for the post-WWII decade

Shaun Pollock (1973-)

Remarkably accurate seam bowler, as testified by his ODI economy rate of 3.67

Never really liked Pollock. Did too well against India.

Sympathy vote for Shaun Pollock.

I found this really difficult. But it looks like Miller's winning easily, and I've always liked Pollock, so I'll give him my vote.
