Looks to me like either Dippenaar or Gary Kirsten. Seeing as Dippenaar was already chosen, I'd say Kirsten.

Clearly Neil and Marc are in cahoots...

<quack> The woman in the background is Doris Hickinbottom of Barnsley, former fishwife of this parish.

Whenever a cricket match is played in this country, she can be found in the stands. She has special dispensation to carry three things into the ground :

a) A 'whiffle' bat which she uses to torment armadillos
b) A large bag of ants which she uses to attract armadillos
c) A pink can of paraffin which she applies liberally to the hindquarters of a random ant.

It works like this....

1. An ant is extracted from the bag, held by the feelers and dipped in paraffin.
2. The paraffined ant is set alight.
3. It screams in agony
4. Armadillos in the area are immediately attracted by the ant in its death throes, enticed by the prospect of a free feed.
5. Doris torments the armadillo with the whiffle bat, repeatedly smacking it (painlessly) around the head and body.

The effect is such that it is nowadays a relative rarity for armadillos to stop play in a first-class cricket match at England (except at Trent Bridge).

I agree with Rik here, I think the caption could be wrong... that IMO doesn't look anything like Donald... it looks like one of the young guns a Dippenaar, McKenzine, Rudolf. IMO that is Dippenaar
