10 Legendary cricketers who never won a World Cup

8. Shaun Pollock

Here we are with yet another South African legend featuring in this list. Speaking about Shaun Pollock and his family then, the craft of playing cricket, whether it was Shaun’s dad Peter Pollock leading the South African attack in the 1960s, or his uncle Graeme who’s batting commanded a different level of admiration have shown that playing at the highest level has always been natural to them.

Shaun Pollock had made his ODI debut in January and was immediately part of the World Cup squad in 1996. He has represented South Africa in a total of four World Cups where the closest he came was in the semi-final of 1999 and 2007 which again pretty much says a similar story of every South African who played in that era.

However, Pollock played more than 300 ODIs and has 393 wickets under his belt. He is arguably known as one of the best medium pacers of his time.
