Distinction for Pollock


South African all-rounder Shaun Pollock completed a rare Test double on the final day of the second Test against India at the Eden Gardens here on Thursday.

Pollock became only the fifth player in Test history to score 3,000 runs and take 300 wickets when he scored six runs in South Africa's second innings.

The 31-year-old joined an elite club consisting of Kapil Dev, Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and Imran Khan, who have performed the double.

Pollock had 351 Test wickets and 2,976 runs before this game.

The all-rounder scored 18 runs in the first innings.
