Magic Moments: Donald vs Atherton
As we all begin to salivate uncontrollably at the prospect of the Ashes, I caught a conversation at the WAT forums about “Test battles” - that is, some of the big rivalries that have existed in cricket.
The one that sprang immediately to mind was Mike Atherton (England) versus Allan Donald (or is it the other way around?) of South Africa in 1998. A frighteningly pant-staining over of bowling, that somehow Atherton survived.
Good ol’ YouTube has come up trumps again. Enjoy!

I love Gower’s comment, “between them they could write a book, these two. Donald was a classical fast bowler, if ever I’ve seen one.
Great find.
