Shaun Pollock has always led from the front, setting an example for his team-mates. In the first match against India, he did not have much success taking 1/56 off his ten overs. The South African skipper came to his elements in the second match at Benoni, bowling a tight line and length to finish with 10-1-19-2, setting up their seven wicket victory over Kenya. Pollock was duly named the Man of the Match. In the following match against India at the The Centurion, he was at his very best, picking up his 200th ODI wicket and finishing with the match analysis of 9.5-1-37-5.
