Alasdair William Pollock (born 1993) is an English cricketer, who played first-class cricket for Cambridge MCCU.[1] A right-arm medium-pacer, Pollock scored 44 not out on his first-class debut, against Essex County Cricket Club, at number 9 in the order, out of a total of just 99.[2] Pollock studied at Robinson College, Cambridge where he obtained a BA in geography. He captained the Cambridge blues cricket team to T20 and four day glory, but was not as successful in the one day format.[3] His career did not reach the heights that was prophesied and has subsequently embarked upon a career in Corporate Tax, where he is doing rather well. He has been supported by his family throughout his sporting career, despite his awful chat and questionable dress sense. His mother still does his dry cleaning.

Cricketing Career

The key highlight in his career is the dismissal of Alastair Cook (current England captain), twice, in a match vs. Essex 2014. Some might say that this will probably be the highlight in an otherwise unremarkable life.

Life after cricket and personal life

After a challenging year in West Hampstead, living with "friends", Pollock has decided to move to sheltered accommodation for residents typically over the age of 60.
