Pollock to be dropped?
South Africa look set to drop Shaun Pollock for their upcoming Test v Pakistan, which seems highly risky to me. The tactics seem all wrong - in Twenty20 when he tends to serve it up ona length, he was selected, and yet in Tests when he will bowl metronomically on off stump he is likely to be dropped. I wonder if the same would have happened if he bowled exactly the same but was 10 years younger. It'll be interesting to see how the younger quicker bowlers go....

The problem could be with his batting: in the Twenty20 he looked even more out of form than Flintoff. As a bowler he has perhaps lost the cutting edge, but in a test where he will bore the batsmen out by giving them nothing to hit I agree he is probably still worth his place.
