Famously nicknamed 'white lightning’, Allan Donald was one of the main reasons for South Africa’s success in the post-apartheid era. A fearsome fast-bowler with a classical action and genuine pace, Donald had the habit of making things happen on the cricket field.

Donald has picked up 330 Test and 272 ODI wickets at magnificent strike-rates of 47.0 and 31.4 respectively. He spearheaded the bowling attack for more than a decade and was one of the world's best pacers during the '90s. With his pace and aggression, Donald would have walked into any side in the world.
