Vintcent van der Bijl vs Shaun Pollock

[PlayerComparisons]

Two South Africans with great accuracy. Who do you think was a better bowler in the longer format of the game?

 

[sayon basak]

Pollock will win. But Bijl was great.

@capt_Luffy Do you rate Bijl as an ATG? should, because the Great Graham Gooch thought him worthy of making a hundred against.

If Barry and Procter are one, then so is he in my book.

Graham Gooch made a hundred against van der Bijl on the rebel tours? Cripes, Vince mustn't have been that good at all.

Hadlee might have bowled **** to Gooch but good to others.

Hadlee bowled brilliantly to Gooch here. It was Hadlee's penultimate Test, about one week before he turned 39, and he was still able to generate decent pace considering his age.
