Where does White Lightning rate amongst the greats of the game?
Donald was at the fore of South Africa’s readmission to international cricket, when he took 5 for 29 versus India on his limited overs international debut. And despite mediocre success in the 1991-92 World Cup, he returned to form in the home series against India, where he bowled South Africa to victory, taking 12 wickets at Port Elizabeth. But time has taken its toll and the 35-year-old could do little to stem the tide as South Africa suffered an innings and 360 runs defeat in Johannesburg. Rate South Africa’s finest fast bowler. I was lucky enough to see Allan Donald play when I lived in South Africa. He is probably the greatest fast bowler I have ever seen so far in my life. The guy is amazing and I for one hope to see him in the World Cup next year and it would be magnificent and totally deserved if Allan could be on the winning side. Leigh, England I saw plenty of him in action in his early days at Warwickshire – terrifying from 70 yards away. Unquestionably the quickest white bow
