We take nothing for granted says Allan Donald – Cricket News Update
Despite placed in a relatively strong position to dethrone http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Anthony-Donald-c43680, still wants his side to take nothing for granted and make sure that they get out of the blocks quickly when the Headingley
Test begins from August 2nd.
Having put in a strong claim for the top spot at the Oval, the focus now shifts to the second Test where England will at least need to avoid defeat to take the series to the final game at Lord’s.
The innings defeat has left the Poms shell shocked, searching for answers as to how an inform bowling attack, comprising of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, managed to take just two wickets, while leaking out a mammoth 637, coming off the bat
of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HM-Amla-c1557, leading to Donald claiming that such performance ‘you may never see again’.    
Despite starting the game on a sound note, the inform English batters also failed to emulate their past home success, and were completely undone by a potent Proteas attack, headed by none other than http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 Tahir, the leg-spinner, also proved his
mettle as his performances coming in for special praise, considering the difficulties his counterpart, Swann, faced during the game.
Donald’s presence as a bowling mentor has heaped the desired effect on the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528, who has brought greater intensity to his game. However, despite his bowlers taking out 20 wickets at Oval, the former pacer was quick to point out the need
to get out of the blocks strongly.
"We want to get out of the blocks better," he said. "It's not that we bowled poorly on the first day at The Oval but we want to have a real solid start with the ball."
"There's no ways we are going to sit back and wait for things to happen. We know what's coming our way and we know England will throw everything at us," he said. "We take nothing for granted. We've won a Test match but we haven't won the series."
