He has big achievements in cricket but the first thing that comes to my mind about him is his county debut.

Happy Birthday to Shaun Pollock; one of the purest souls to ever grace this beautiful game with his magic.
Can't forget when I wrote this piece on him last year & despite being inactive on Twitter for years, he took the time to DM me this. A true reflection of his humility... https://t.co/vkCcDK6jiH pic.twitter.com/f0HiL6NwFv
