Product Description

Synopsis

In this text, Allan Donald reviews his relationship with key players and backroom staff - including Bob Woolmer, Dennis Amiss, Dermot Reeve and Brian Lara - and contrasts the unique team spirit during Warwickshire's trophy winning seasons with the later rifts that developed over the selection of Lara as the county's overseas player. In the Test arena, South Africa's return to the international fold in 1992, with Donald to the fore, began tentatively, leading to a fiercely fought series with Australia home and away in 1994, and culminating in the 1998 tour of England, their first since the ban. Donald's ferocious assault on Mike Atherton at Trent Bridge was one of the most hostile passages of fast bowling ever witnessed, and by the end of the summer South Africa's leading strike bowler had bagged 33 wickets.

3.0 out of 5 stars The life of a terrifying world class fast bowler., 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: White Lightning (Hardcover)
On June 17, 1999, South Africa faced Australia at Edgbaston in the semi-final of the Cricket World Cup. It was an outstanding match, with both sides ending on 213 runs. Because of their higher overall run rate throughout the competition, Australia went through to the Final, which they won. South Africa's team packed their bags and went home.

In the final chapter of White Lightning, Allan Donald gives ten reasons why South Africa would win the World Cup. It was not to be, because Donald himself was run out in the final over at Edgbaston, and that ended South Africa's innings.

He is one of the world's most feared fast bowlers, and with good reason, but his autobiography is at pains to show the warmer, more human side of his character. This side will come as a surprise to anyone who has seen the venom in his action as he bowls.

His book is a very enjoyable one. It's simply written, encompassing politics, sport, fitness, and the rigours of touring the Indian sub-continent. Anyone who saw Donald murder England's batting in 1995 at Lords should buy this book to find out how he did it.
