Pollock reached this milestone on the second day of the first Test against India when Rahul Dravid edged a Pollock delivery to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher. Pollock's teammates raced to congratulate him, and the sparse crowd at the Wanderers gave him a standing ovation.
His achievement was a silver lining for South Africa on a day when the Proteas achieved another milestone - their lowest Test total since readmission to international cricket. They were all out for 84 runs in just 25 overs and one ball. - Sapa
