10 players with the highest number of wickets in Test cricket

#9. Shaun Pollock

There was nothing mysterious about Shaun Pollock's bowling. His pace limitations were well known and his ability to swing the ball in the both ways was popular as well.

But even then the South African pacer found a way of harassing the batsmen in every game and claimed wickets at regular intervals. Maybe it was his consistency or maybe it was his accuracy or it could be his enormous physical strength that kept him strong even after hundred Tests. But whatever it was, it enabled Pollock to ink his name as one of the greatest pace bowlers ever to walk on the earth and he finished with 421 Test wickets.

Pollock is the first South African to claim 400 wickets and also has 16 five-wicket hauls to his name in 202 innings.Shaun Pollock is South Africa's highest wicket-taker in Tests
