Just How Scary GOOD Was Allan Donald, Actually? | Most Aggressive Bowler.
Allan Donald also known as White Lightening is one of the best fast bowlers in the history of cricket. His formidable skill and intensity were such that even the sturdiest of willows quivered at the sight of him. He was the first South African player to take 300 wickets and has claimed 272 ODI wickets. But exactly how good was he? Let's find out.

Hey Cricket Lovers🏏, who do you think had more impact on South African Cricket, Allan Donald or Shaun Pollock?

@naveedhasan5365 Месяц назад

Shaun Pollock

@francoisvanwyk8361 Месяц назад

DONALD- Pollock could bat but he was painfully slow towards end of career, his average as a result flaterred by the fact that no runs scored of him, but also no wickets

During his tenure (2022-2023) in Bangladesh as pace bowling coach our pacers became effective. He's unbelievably popular in Bangladesh mass people due to his honesty, passion and love for the art of teaching pace bowling techniques. Huge respect for the legend from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩❤️🏏

1990s cricket was incomplete without the running battles that Alan Donald had with Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, and the Waugh Brothers. Quite unlucky that his team usually ended second best against the Aussies in the big matches of the decade.

Surely one of the greatest fast bowlers in test and one day cricket history. Had the pleasure of watching him in a test match at Adelaide Oval in the 90's. His bowling approach and action had the balance, coordination and silkiness of an elite track and field athlete combined with the aggression and fire power of a prize fighter.

My son and I received the SA Cricket Team at the Air Force Stn, Gwalior on 11 Nov 91 on their first visit to India. Everyone on their plane said only one thing: Pray for us. In the match, the wicket-keeper would stand at the 30m marker for Donald. In comparison, Snell seemed like a trundler.

@ianb9729 Месяц назад

I remember that Donald v Atherton battle so clearly. My brother shouted to me from downstairs "Get down here now, Donald is actually trying to kill Atherton!" He wasn't far wrong and there's a section of Atherton's autobiography about it. After some time, he and Donald made their peace with each other that evening and I believe Atherton autographed the incriminating glove - complete with ball mark across it - and gave it to Donald. Years after, I still watch recordings of that spell and it is truly terrifying.

It was a long time ago and i was still in high school but I still remember that spell he bowled to the Mike Gatting Rebel team in 1989 in the Joburg unofficial test. That's the quickest I've ever seen him bowl. He had to have been high 150s. It was actually too quick for the opposition. That period around 89-91 he was at his absolute fastest. When he got into the SA international scene he had to sacrifice a bit of pace for control as he was the lone strike man as well a expected to bowl long spells.
