Nah, Pollock isn't in 1st XIs because he didn't do much in World Cups when SA needed him. 31 wickets in 31 WC matches @ 31 and 256 runs at 17.43.

Kohli , Dhoni and Gilchrist are famous for their WC achievements.
Before you bring Gilchrist/Dhoni ODI WC final knocks into discussion, you need to remember Pollock took 5 wkt in WC 1999 Semi- Final.

Pollock was a JAMODI bully but failed when it mattered
Also captained SA to the disastrous 2003 Home World Cup Group Stage Exit Duckworth Lewis Fiasco (HWCGSEDLF)

Real talk though still a great ODI player. No issue with picking him in a 1st XI team

Lots of pressure on the skipper, yeah, he was going to let his whole country down if he failed. The weight of all those expectations, the weight of the entire country on his shoulders. Forty-two million supporters, all of them depending on Shaun.

Have to give the devil his due - that was the best thing he's done on a cricket pitch, followed closely by this thing:
Generally speaking, I've been happy with his work with the gloves on for most part.

To be fair, that's bloody impressive dedication to the number 31.

Sangakkara probably has the best sense of humour I've seen in a professional sportsman.
My first ODI all time eleven would be -
Sachin Tendulkar
Rohit Sharma/Desmond Haynes/
Viv Richards
Virat Kohli/ Dean Jones/Abbas
Michael Bevan/Abdv
MSD/Gilchrist
Kapil Dev/Lance Klusener
Shaun Pollock
Wasim Akram,
Shane Warne / Murali
Ambrose /Mcgrath/ Garner
Now basing upon that my second unconventional eleven would be-
Saurav Ganguly,
Mathew Hayden,
Ricky Ponting,
Kallis,
Hussey,
Sangakkara (wk)
Andrew Symonds,
Saqlain Mushtaq,
Shane Bond,
Fannie Devilliers
Alan Donald.

Anwar - Greenidge
Lloyd, Buttler, Kallis, Jones, Yuvi
Flintoff, Abdul Qadir, Waquar, Ambrose
Pollock wasn't as good as Donald ( or Akram, Mcgrath.. Etc) with ball... Thats the reason.

For what it's worth, Pollock took 4/19 in the Commonwealth Games final.

Pollock outbowled Donald pretty consistently when they played together, and his peak was probably after Donald retired.

Whatever it takes!!!
If Klusener could have sneaked a single in the 99 semi, Pollock would have had a MotM performance in a WC semi.
EDIT: Well, close to. Zulu would have been MotM obviously.

Kallis shouldn't be near an ODI ATG team. Unless it's like a 14th XI

I feel Pollock was better with the bat later on in his career and he wasn't anything special in 99. Zulu was pretty much going solo there and winning it by himself.

Nah Imeant coz he got the 5fer that game and there was a period in the middle when him/Klusener and Kallis bowled like 10 overs for 11 runs together. First posted somehow forgetting how big the impact of Klusener was, on the game. lol.

He can win matches single handedly.. For the opposition.
