The man who spearheaded South Africa's performances after their readmission in cricket in 1991, Allan Donald was a complete pace bowler. A smooth action, probing pace and ability to generate swing made Donald one of the best bowlers in international cricket during the 1990s.

He was the first South African to take 300 Test wickets and ended his career with an impressive bowling average of 22.25. In 72 Tests, he claimed 330 wickets and enjoyed a sterling bowling strike rate of 47.
