Donald v Atherton PART 1

[@thinkingmind9816]

Michael holding was roasting the umpire😀, only a fast, bowler can understand the pain, of fellow fastie

[@darkverse6100]

This is really ferocious bowling. Sustained and accurate. The aim is to break the batsman's head. Donald was much much quicker than what his bowling action showed

[@juanestadian8471]

It had to be ferocious because the umpiring was woeful

[@mafoomatty7494]

​@@juanestadian8471umpire was awful

[@TheCinderellaman10]

Definitely a lot quicker, absolute rapid

[@insiddious]

Donald and Srinath had the fastest bowling arm actions in that decade

[@TheIkaraCult]

"I'm not too sure if he knows exactly what to do at the moment, but what he's doing is seeing not out for everything" Michael Holding, what a gem.

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

I’m English but I support Alan Donald. He was just such a fearsome bowler

[@mafoomatty7494]

Brilliant

[@KaiGaming84]

Plot twist: the umpire secretly hated Atherton so let the punishing barrage from Donald continue.

Sir Viv Richards vs Allan Donald would have been the ultimate competition if only South Africa were not banned till 1992 for apartheid.

[@goonerfromjhb]

In 1999 I was a regular at a certain nightclub in Johannesburg and on this particular Friday my spot in the club had been cordoned off, in my drunken stage I snuck past the cordon and tried to make my way to my regular spot...the bouncers came running to eject me yet 2 people within this area came running to have a look and talk down the bouncers, my mates behind the cordon also saw what was happening and also came running, Gough and Flintoff were those 2 people....and I explained they had taken my spot...they bought me a beer and let my mates come into the VIP area...legends!

How could the umpire not see that? Also I would have loved if somebody would dish this out to Kohli, the way he struts around on flat decks with 5 blokes within ring makes me really angry.

[@akamiguelsanchez9985]

No fear at all, Athers was one of the toughest batsmen ever. His back issues meant he couldn’t duck, so he had to take the blows regardless of if they were 95mph

[@rgudduu]

Great batting by Atherton against some hard bowling to face

[@46361]

People speak about wasim waqar Kapil dev Ambrose But miss out some unsung hero’s and Allan Donald is one If there was DRS system in that place these legends would have had 1000 wickets each

[@TheMancunianCandidate]

A legendary battle that should’ve been over much quicker than it was. Ath clearly gloved that one and should’ve walked. He was the glue that held England’s shaky batting order together and Donald knew it. Had he been rightly dismissed the rest would’ve folded like a cheap suit.

[@davidglow3]

If l recall Arthurton made 73 not out to see of Donald...However thenext test Donald got him out for mm..Honours even..Donald was became eligable for England selection thru living here and marriage to an Englishwoman, during apartheid..Smith and Lamb joined england but Donald refused saying he was a proud africaaner,(inspite of their racist ideology)

[@vacateistheword]

What speeds do you reckon Donald was hitting back in the day? Ive seen some speed guns clocking him at 143 kph when it seemed way faster to me.. damn near unplayable stuff

[@joshcotton4452]

Easily 92 93mph

[@TRUMP20Z4]

On his best day....160 .... or VERY close to it.

[@vacateistheword]

@@TRUMP20Z4 yeah mate, im dead sure it was 150+ , those crappy speed guns were plain wrong

[@Covaids]

I remember watching him at the SCG back in the day and he made Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock look like military medium pacers.

[@petelivinlarge]

I'd say he could clock 155km/h plus some when firing..... He was ferocious with ball in hand

[@syedadeelhussain2691]

Like how commentators criticised the umpire back then for giving the wrong decision frankly which is something rare nowadays.

[@marcus883]
