Daniel McHardyHOST
How's this fresh out guy have out? 1999 Cricket World Cup, South Africa, semi-final for Australia.

When Alan Donald had a brain melt and forgot how to run.

That was, even still to this day, watching that video, and he just, why don't you just run, man?
Jason GillespieHOST
Vernon Philander, and did very well with a strike rate of 50 and an economy rate of just over two and a half.
Jason GillespieHOST
And then my number two is someone I grew up idolizing and got to play against him right at the end of my career, is the great Allan Donald.

Ian HigginsHOST
Uh, and, and here he is training.
Mark PougatchHOST
... highlights, Trevor Penney, brilliant fielder, Keith Piper, God rest his soul, along with Jack Russell, the most natural wicket keeper I have ever seen in my life.
Mark PougatchHOST
When this man, Alan Donald, bowled like that, the ball melted into Piper's gloves.
Mark PougatchHOST
I went on an A tour once, as a reporter obviously, with Paul Nixon, lovely, lovely man, and Keith Piper as the wicket keepers, and to watch them up close, I mean, he was amazing, Piper.

Uh, courage of Donald, the stamina, magnificent athlete.

Robert CraddockGUEST
Allan Donald loved Glenn McGrath.
Robert CraddockGUEST
One of Allan Border's favorite cricketers, he invited him out for his testimonial game and insisted he come with Mike Procter, 'cause he saw him in England, uh, playing for Gloucestershire and just thought, "This guy's fabulous." A- a- and Warner used to taunt Daryl Cullinan and sort of say, "Oh, here's my bunny arriving.
Robert CraddockGUEST
Look at him.

Jimmy BartelHOST
Oh, I wanna ask you about the, the conditions a- and your specialty, bowling fast.
Jimmy BartelHOST
They, they've had some great fast bowlers, of course, Allan Donald, uh, Dale Steyn, uh, one of the greats, and, and Rabada is tracking to be one of the all-time greats.
Jimmy BartelHOST
But we've often had trouble with, with the guy at the other end who, who probably only bowls about 120 or 130, you know, the likes of Vernon Philander.
Jimmy BartelHOST
So h- how do you handle South African conditions? Do you watch for the seam, or are you looking for the pace?
