BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Replacing a guy like Shaun [Pollock] who provided so much control in our one-day [game] was never going to happen quickly

Trying to replace a guy like Shaun Pollock, who lengthened our batting and finished off games, and with a lot of the young guys struggling with their form in the one-day setup...has created a bit of pressure on the team.

At the moment, England is probably a better one-day outfit than us ... We lost some senior players in the past 12 months such as Shaun Pollock and Charl Langeveldt as well as guys like Andrew Hall, Justin Kemp and Johan van der Wath. Those guys could regularly smash the ball out of the ground at the end of an innings.

He's following very much in the footsteps of Shaun Pollock and Allan Donald, and it's great for South African cricket. If he stays fit for a long time, I think he's going to do very well.

We thought we could win this right from the start ... The club decided this year to take the competition really seriously and brought in players especially for it, guys like Albie Morkel and Shaun Pollock, who has been fantastic, just like a big kid even though he's supposed to be retired. With the money on offer later this year it was a straightforward decision.

Quotes from articles mentioning Shaun Pollock
The English authorities are putting measures in place to make it more difficult for our players to sign Kolpak contracts by working with the government to make work permits more difficult to obtain but, as I have always said, we are fighting impossible odds to keep the players -- financial gravity is impossible to resist

Having just met with Shaun in India, together with Rahul and Martin, we have already received a tremendous amount of input. It is pleasing to have Shaun on board, who I know will have much to offer the work of the Committee.

The strength of the MCC's World Cricket Committee is in its independence, its ability to freely think and recommend change for the benefit of the sport ... It is also a body that combines a huge array of talent from all over the world. Importantly, the MCC has the resource to support the work of the committee, with its increasing investment into research and development of the game. We look forward to discussions next week and anticipate a healthy debate and some forthright opinion.
