Fast Bowler Survivor 2020 Finals Voting Thread

I haven't been following at all so I'm curious to know when did Allan Donald bow out. I've been watching more and more of him (thanks covid-19) and looking at his stats he really belongs in the upper echelon of fast bowling. Nothing to choose between him and Ambrose, McGrath etc. Just my 0.02

Looks like it will be a tough fight between Ambrose and Hadlee.

Ideally, I would love to see this:

So how will you compare Donald and Steyn?
Imo, and again just my opinion but I'd rank Donald higher. From a statistical pov Donald only really sucked vs Australia and during his time they were an ATG team. And even so averaging 31 vs Australia is bad but not the end of the world. Also, Donald probably doesn't shine as much as Steyn because of the plethora of atg fast bowlers playing at the same time: Ambrose, Wasim, Waqar, McGrath, Walsh, Pollock etc. Steyn was great, make no mistake, but his cv is not as complete as Donald. I also feel like Donald was the type of bowler one couldn't just dominate in the same way I've seen Steyn dominated (yes very few and far between). Again just my 0.02
