Alan is a spitting fire although he belongs to an earth sun sign "Libra". Donald has established himself as one of the finest fast bowlers. He is an outstanding match winning bowler as he rips through the batting line up of the opposite team.  He helped South Africa make an immediate impact on its return to International Cricket when he took five wickets for mere 29 runs against India in an ODI between the two teams in 1991-92. He bowls fast but with the smooth action. His bouncers are very alarming and he generally bowls a good line and length. He is also an amazing fielder with a strong arm.
