Feeling left behind, are we?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Only player to achieve 5000 runs and 400 wickets combo

Vettori would've achieved it as well if he'd wanted.

#FakeNews

I have it on good authority that at least 500 of them are about Mike Proctor.

Kapil vs the best team of his era
Batting : 1079 runs @30.83 and 3 centuries
Bowling : 89 wickets @24.9 S/R of 52 and 4 fifer

Pollock vs the best team of his era
Batting : 517 runs @28.72 and no centuries
Bowling : 40 wickets @36.85 S/R of 80 and 1 fifer

I don't know who was the best but i know who was the big match player.

While Pollock is a better bowler, Kapil was a better bat and fielder. Had more longevity and was a much bigger match winner.

Kapil had more cultural impact, but Pollock has the better record. Kapil probably more significant but think I’d rather have Pollock in my team.

Not if it was a must win match

Nope. Pollock was perhaps the best fielder ever a fast bowler was, even better than Kallis.

Pollock had safe hands and a pretty good arm. Fairly good fielder, but nothing special.

He had taken some breathtaking outfield catches. He was part of an elite fielding team.

Not that many that I can remember, and there must be only a few players ever who spent more time in the outfield than him in international cricket.

He wasn't particularly quick or athletic. I didn't see enough if Dev to make call, but I assume he was better based on his reputation and athleticism.

Kallis as a slip >>> Pollock as a fielder.
