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
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!
Atheron is like I’m giving my WBW ( Whole Body Wicket ) to this Donald. Stupid umpire doesn’t even want to give me out, he really wants me to suffer here!. 😂😂😂😂
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
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.
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
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)
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.
Athers fraiil looking stance must have encouraged every bowler. But he was a scrapper. As for the growling Duck we used to shout 'Get back to your mark lad'
@@akshatrana7357 on today's pitches atherton would average about the same as someone like cook or root. Cook or root wouldn't average more than 35 in the 90s.
@@darkverse6100 I agree 💯 percent on this with you . These players have had played on some other level in terms of fast bowling and seaming tracks unlike today's flat pitches
First reason ...during 90s Average of 40 was considered good for opening batsmen ...sunny gawaskar had avg of 51 ..second he played most of his matches in England where condition r very helpful for fast bowler..it's like Nathan lyon despite having just as many wickets as harbhajan singh , considered much better off spinner because pitches in aus dt support spin bowler ..
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
"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.
Plot twist: the umpire secretly hated Atherton so let the punishing barrage from Donald continue.
😂🤝🏻

It had to be ferocious because the umpiring was woeful
@@juanestadian8471umpire was awful
Definitely a lot quicker, absolute rapid
Donald and Srinath had the fastest bowling arm actions in that decade
Michael holding was roasting the umpire😀, only a fast, bowler can understand the pain, of fellow fastie
I’m English but I support Alan Donald. He was just such a fearsome bowler
Brilliant
Meanwhile Atherton to umpire, give me out, let me go... I can’t handle this more
All time favourite battle....🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥
Donald wins so many time.
Had there been DRS.. england would have lost the series 4-0
Bull
Truth... there where some terrible decisions in this series
@@leecoetzee2402
And a lot more excellent ones.

But there wasn't 😢
England would never had lost 1-4 to Australia in 2001 had DRS been in place. Australia's 12th man was the umpire like most test matches

Haha 😂😂 that umpire was such a clown. Bad luck S.A
This surely was one of the most hostile spells of fast bowling!
Umpire needs to visit Specsavers🤣
That’s true maybe he could also get his conscience checked somewhere !
Yeah, I forgot that part
Great batting by Atherton against some hard bowling to face
Like how commentators criticised the umpire back then for giving the wrong decision frankly which is something rare nowadays.
Steve Dunn was a horrible umpire. The man should have lost his job after this match.
looks blind!

Cricket at its best time. Now era is gone and nothing is left

Yeah lol
Umpire was high as fuck 😂😂😂😂
And biased
shameful umpiring! Atherton was clearly dismissed by a lovely ball bowled by Donald.
How could the umpire not see that?

I'm sure Atherton would rather have been somewhere else, but you have to admit he has balls.
Donald giving Athers some free Afrikaans language lessons....

On a par with Steve Waugh vs Curtly Ambrose.
Atherton had huge problems facing mcgrath, Donald and akram.
Mike Atherton was so overrated , he averaged 37.7 and english thought he's a world class batsman, McGrath used to make mockery out of him
I wouldn't call him overrated. Was in charge of a team full of Muppets. Opening and facing wasim, waqar, donald,walsh, ambrose etc aint no joke.

Easily 92 93mph
On his best day....160 .... or VERY close to it.
@@TRUMP20Z4 yeah mate, im dead sure it was 150+ , those crappy speed guns were plain wrong
I remember watching him at the SCG back in the day and he made Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock look like military medium pacers.
I'd say he could clock 155km/h plus some when firing..... He was ferocious with ball in hand
Atherton the most unpleasant crooked cricketer I ever saw.
Really? You need to get out more.
Need to walk out, honestly!
faad k rkh diya...
The umpire obviously had a sight impediment. Needed to see a better optometrist.
Real box office cricket.
Deffo gloved it
true
English seem to be pioneers of these things 😂
They are cheats
Atherton survived that day because of that dumbstruck umpire...
Poor cricket from the very English captain!!!
More like great bowling from Donald!
@@guggieg3265 Allan Donald was something else man
Lightning bolt!¡
Dunn vs Donald
How the english used to win back in the day.😂
umpire had biden moment...
Ball at 2m 20s FAST!!!!!!
stupid bowling bowl at the stumps otherwiase you wl not get him out
English player only test plyer and good play,in, cricket only time waste very lazy player and not like people is, cricket he, clearly out
He, not good play cricket and not like people not dangerous player English player Donald great blower and dangerous blower
