Allan Donald

Bat-and-Ball Sports

Allan Donald, born on 20 October 1966, is a South African former cricketer, nicknamed White Lightning for his quick bowling, and the former bowling coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team. He is considered one of South Africa's greatest pace bowlers and was an integral member of the side in its return to international cricket after readmission. He was the first South African to take 300 Test wickets and reached the top of the ICC Test rankings in 1998. He shared the new ball with Shaun Pollock from the 1996/1997 tour of India until his retirement in 2002. He played in four World Cups for South Africa, in 1992, 1996, 1999 and 2003, and is remembered for his run out in the 1999 semi-final loss to Australia.
