5 dream cross-generation bowling combinations that we'll never get to see 

#2 Dale Steyn-Allan Donald

Donald appeals for wicket

This is the only fast bowling duo that could just have been a possibility, since Allan Donald retired only a year and a half ahead of Dale Steyn's debut. Even then, having them bowl together at their peak would never have happened.

There is no doubt that a Donald-Sten duo could have ended up being one of the greatest fast bowling combinations across eras. While "White Lightning" Donald was known for troubling batsmen with his extreme pace, bounce and seam movement, Steyn could swing the ball at pace both ways and was also an exponent of reverse swing.

It is unlikely that many batting lineups would have fancied facing this particular duo.
