Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
However, he only played 23 Tests as the African nation faced isolation from international cricket. With an average of 60 in Tests, he was regarded as one of the finest left-handers of his generation by Don Bradman. Graeme was on par with another left-hander, Gary Sobers.
Graeme was appointed as a selector by the United Cricket Board in 2000 and held the post till 2002. After which he was named as the batting coach of the South African team. In November 2013, the Centurion pavilion at St. George's Park was named \"Graeme Pollock Pavilion\" to honour his contribution to South African cricket.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Perhaps the finest left-hand batsman the game has ever produced - Donald Bradman certainly thought so, classing only Garry Sobers as his equal among those he saw play. Another deprived of greater exposure by South Africa's isolation, Pollock showed in his 23 Tests what an awesome talent he possessed; his highest score of 274 was for many years the South African Test record. Pollock was an extremely powerful batsman, although his timing was perhaps his most obvious natural asset, and could also bowl effective legspin at times. He scored his maiden first-class century when he was just 16 and then posted his first Test hundred at 19 in Australia. Part of the cricketing Pollock family, brother of Peter and uncle to Shaun, he now sits on the South African selection committee.
