Cricket: South Africa's Pollock claims 350th wicket

MUMBAI - South Africa paceman Shaun Pollock has become just the fifth bowler in one-day international cricket to claim 350 wickets.

The 33-year-old all rounder reached the mark when he bowled New Zealand opener Lou Vincent for 17 runs with a delivery that cut back in a Champions Trophy group match at the Brabourne Stadium last night NZT.

It was the former captain's 262nd ODI match.

Former Pakistan left-arm paceman Wasim Akram heads the list with 502 wickets.

He is followed by Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan (419), retired Pakistan paceman Waqar Younis (416) and Sri Lanka paceman Chaminda Vaas (358).
