He was a classical batsman. I was lucky enough to see a bit of Graeme and he was the same. Absolutely effortless. Politics ruined his career. Top of my head about 20 tests avearge over 60.

The martial fitness theory with a tenure is what SA is implementing... In fact Australia and South Africa are the only teams with a clear cut policy though Australia is a bit different.

I guess that's about the minimum countries like Australia and SA would entertain. Unless, the player has multiple skills or rare ability at lesser speeds like McGrath or Pollock (because of their height and accuracy)they wouldn't stand an extended chance. One reason why Pollock has been hinted to. The players themselves realize...much like in the army where martial fitness has its requirements, limits and tenure and a finis so that the machine remains trim and ready for the next five years.

Think of Inzi, he was forced to retire and then given a 'farewell' match as a salve. Scorpi,

Atleast Pollock was shown the courtesy of announcing his retirement.
