Harry Dudley Bromfield (born 26 June 1932) is a former South African cricketer who played in nine Test matches between 1961 and 1965.
A tail-end batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler, Bromfield succeeded Hugh Tayfield in the South African team but had limited success in Test matches. His best figures were 5 for 88 (off 57.2 overs) against England at Cape Town in 1964-65. [1] He toured England in 1965, playing his last Test in the First Test at Lord's. [2] [3]
He played for Western Province from 1956-57 to 1965-66, then returned for one last match in 1968-69. His best figures were 7 for 60 against Transvaal in 1960-61. [4] In 1962-63, also against Transvaal, he took 5 for 100 and 5 for 64, for match figures of 76.4-25-164-10. [5] In his most successful season, 1960-61, he took 35 wickets at an average of 17.45. [6]
Robert Graeme Pollock is a former cricketer for South Africa, Transvaal and Eastern Province. A member of a famous cricketing family, Pollock is widely regarded as South Africa's greatest cricketer, and as one of the finest batsmen to have played Test cricket. Despite Pollock's international career being cut short at the age of 26 by the sporting boycott of South Africa, and all but one of his 23 Test matches being against England and Australia, the leading cricket nations of the day, he broke a number of records. His completed career Test match batting average of 60.97 remains fifth best after Sir Donald Bradman's (99.94), Marnus Labuschagne's, Steve Smith's, and Adam Voges's averages.
