‘South Africa’s WTC Final triumph has taken away 30-odd years of pain,’ says Allan Donald

South Africa broke their rather infamous title drought with a clinical five-wicket win over Australia in the World Test Championship Final. The country has produced many a great player since its last ICC title triumph back in 1998 and among those who arguably had to endure the biggest heartbreak of them all is fast bowling Allan Donald, who now says that this victory has acted as an antidote to that.

“It’s a massive, massive day in South African cricket, it’s a massive day in South African sport. It’s something that unites this country so closely. To get that over the line shuts the door that’s over 30-odd years old. Or maybe I’ve jumped the years a little bit, but it’s something that’s taken a lot of pain away as you know. Not really going to go into that detail (laughs), but you know what I’m talking about with us and ICC events,” Donald is quoted as saying by Cricblog.
