Allan Donald v Steve Waugh

[anirudh27k]

Really Steve Waugh has shown his calm and composure in the most difficult times,that's why he is called the "Ice Man",

[MSabuj]

Two absolute legends.. A genuine fast bowler screaming in with raw pace and a tough-as-nails fighter showing the grit to hang on!!! Give us back those days!!!

Also, this is why I respect Steve... He didn't mind looking ugly in his technique but never failed to fight it out against any type of bowling... It's all about the runs, not how you get them... Wish some of today's batsmen are watching!!!

[ashish52257]

I THINK STEVE WAUGH WAS THE ONLY AND STILL AUSSIE PLAYER WHO DSNT SLEDGES....LIKE OTHERS

[noongar1234]

White lightening!!!!!!!

[srmohsin]

I am pakistani and i have the utmost respect for Waugh (it probably has to do with how his team beat Pak into a pulp).

Great fighter.

Allan was great too, high respects for him.

[rodtorre7]

[rodtorre7]

@srmohsin lol...take it easy...have some beer if its not prohibited in ur FAITH.

[MrEddyfreak]

still cann't get waugh out he was not out in the end

[mkeysou812]

god waugh was tough. i always felt a few of the aussie legends like hayden etc got a few too many of their runs against weaker bowling attacks on flat pitches, but waugh gutsed out a heap of runs in difficult conditions against some of the fiercest bowlers the game has ever seen.

[mistersmith6000]

@mkeysou812 he also improved his average as he fell down the order and became more ugly as a batsman. At number 6 , he had a lot of not outs! Mark, his twin brother, much more elegant and capable technically, had a shorter career . Steve's mental toughness was the thing

[Stratos1974]

@mistersmith6000 Very true..Steve had the patience to cop the bowlers stick. Mark would lose it and go after them thereby giving his wicket away whilst playing one-day slogs. If there was one thing Steve knew, it was you would never get him out with bouncers. Steve had the stickability about him getting is tonnes in more balls than Mark, which would tire out the bowlers. I think it was a good reason why Gilchrist, Warne and Lee got easy runs. This applies more to the latter two.

[MrAntiBrent]

@mkeysou812 Hence why he is definately in the top 5 Australian batsmen of all time, he was brilliant when champion players like Haydos and Punter would struggle

[kgururaj]

Donald generally liked to have a word or two with the batsman, but nobody in his right mind would want to have a go at Steve Waugh

[uChakide]

@kgururaj what are you on about? Any bowler worth his salt would relish an opportunity to go toe to toe with a great like him.

[gavmeg711]

thats why they call it test cricket i guess - 2 absolute champions in combat - 3 -32 - a big period in the match - wouldn't have anyone else at the wicket !!

[vikramaditya100]

3rd test in the 1996/97 series

[sidos12lfc]

channel 7 broadcast this? wtf? I thought 9 did it all the time...

[robelinda2]

@sidos12lfc Ch 9 didnt always show overseas tours. Ch 10 did the 05 WI tour, even the ABC showed parts of the 97 Ashes.

[TheCougarcricket]

I cant remember which match it was, but it was from the 1996/97 test series in South Africa

[CarloGrey]

@rockyraji Dave Richardson is playing, think England toured in 95 so guessing 94

[bulltiger18]

@rockyraji 3rd Test

[Brendanvio]

That's what they call a working over. Not much better at it than Allan Donald.

[Archangel3583]

@Brendanvio Well said.
