Allan Donald wants South Africa to topple England - News Update
Former South African Fast bowler, and newly appointed bowling coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) Test Team rankings.
The 44-year-old fast bowler said that the upcoming series in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 will be a great challenge for them.
South Africa last toured England back in 2008 and defeated the Poms 2-1 by winning the second and third Test, but could not continue the winning streak and lost the fourth and final match.
Donald lauded the English pace attack and cited it as the reason behind their success. He expressed that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711 are bowling superbly and forming a potent bowling attack.
In case a front-line pacer needs to be rested, England has two backup bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449, who could not get a chance to show their bowling skill in the series until now.
"When you've got bowlers like that with Test experience in your second- string attack, it's not such a big step up for them to make if they are called up to replace the first-choice players," shared Donald.
After defeating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in three consecutive Tests, England became the No.1 Test team and have a good chance of winning the series outright. Moreover, upon losing the fourth Test, India will give way to South Africa to be poised at
No.2.
The Poms will have a little break following the series against India, while the Proteas will start their season against the touring Aussies and Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808, later this year.
Besides the Poms’ tour, the Proteas Coach’s also wishes his team to be ready to face the reemerging Aussies at the end of this year. He is also looking forward for South Africa's ace pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409, to recover from his elbow injury
and be fit for the assignments ahead.
"Our next series is against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in October so this break ought to benefit us and it really could not have come at a better time for us. Dale's elbow injury is also coming along well and he will start to bowl this week. So come
October, he should be fully fit again."
