#5 Fast Bowlers: Allan Donald and Javagal Srinath
One of the most feared bowlers of his era, Allan Donald was simply unstoppable at his best. His best spell came in the 1999 edition against hosts England as he ripped apart their batting order and registered figures of 4/17. The players who represented South Africa in 1999 Wolrd cup must be feeling un-lucky as their closest chance to win the mega event came in this edition.

Javagal Srinath played for India in four world cups from 1992 to 1996. He has formed a formidable partnership with Ashish Nehra and Zaheer Khan in the 2003 edition that played a vital part in India’s run to the finals of the tournament. He picked up 2 four-wicket hauls in that tournament and finished as the 2nd highest wicket-taker for India. It would have been a fitting farewell for the legendary fast bowler if India had won the 2003 Wolrd cup.
