Donald played between 1991-2003.

Both of them were truly fire and ice in terms of styles.

A certain Craig White Matthews was an important cog in the wheel too.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Donald often bowled 1st change as he couldn't control the new ball so well.

Matthews. White played for England a few years later

 

[ankitj]

Did McGrath and Lee open together that much? It was Fleming, Gillespie and later Johnson/Clarke who shared the new ball with McGrath I thought. Someone gotta lookup

Lee ain't better than Waqar.

In ODIs he is. Had been brilliant through out his career. Waqar was more than brilliant for 40% of his career and then just ordinary.

McGrath

He was very good in ODIs even in late 90s early 2000s.
