International Coach
Yeah, Donald was a fearsome prospect to face, but once you took him head on or weathered the storm, he didnt seem to have much of a plan B. At least that was the case when he faced Atherton in that tussle, when he faced Azhar Mahmood on a few occasions, and when he faced Australia.The guy could seriously bowl, but there were some little things that gave an insight into why he wasn't as universally feared as an Ambrose. When he got his tail up, he'd be a pretty frightening prospect, and was an equal of anyone in the world. There seemed to be the feeling that if you weathered the storm, then he wasn't as "relentless" as others. Even things like not wanting to take the new ball in ODIs helped to prick away at the alpha fast bowlehatr psyche that the best seem to all have.
Having said that, he really should be rated higher, excellent record in the subcontinent and overall sans Australia.
