A member of a famous cricketing family,Pollock is widely regarded as one of South Africa's greatest ever cricketers,and as one of the finest batsmen to have played Test cricket.

His completed career Test match batting average of 60.97 remains fourth best after Sir Donald Bradman's (99.94),Steve Smith's,and Adam Voges's averages.
Barry Anderson Richards is a former South African first-class cricketer. A right-handed "talent of such enormous stature",Richards is considered one of South Africa's most successful batsmen.

In that brief career,against a competitive Australian attack,Richards scored 508 runs at the high average of 72.57. Richards' contribution in that series was instrumental in the 4–0 win that South Africa inflicted on the side,captained by Bill Lawry. His first century,140,was scored in conjunction with Graeme Pollock's 274 in a famous 103-run partnership. Mike Procter,whose South African and English career roughly paralleled that of Richards,was prominent in that series as a bowler.
