Giant of South African cricket

He being Graeme Pollock. If you never had the chance to see Pollock bat, you can get some idea of what a pleasure it would have been by the sequence of four video clips here: 1, 2, 3, 4.

With talking heads, tributes, the whole shebang. But above all that batting. (Thanks: RB.)
