Allan under renewed fire

Allan Donald came under renewed fire when former South Africa allrounder Adrian Kuiper criticised his bowling at the World Cup and suggested he should not be selected again. Kuiper, one of the veteran fast bowler's former teammates, said: "The bowling attack hasn't gelled and Allan Donald hasn't been a real threat, has he?

I think it could be the end of the road for Donald," he told The Citizen newspaper. "There comes a time in everyone's career. He isn't bowling with confidence and is only at half pace." Donald, due to retire after the tournament, has taken one wicket for 106 runs in two Group B matches.

South Africa already needs other results to go their way if they are to reach the second round. Donald played in the defeats by West Indies and New Zealand but was not selected for the easy victory over Kenya. "Why didn't we play Allan against Kenya? If he was lacking form he should have played," Kuiper added.
