innings.[7] This is regarded as a notable achievement,[8] and only 41 bowlers have at least 15 five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers.[N 3][9]

Donald took a five-wicket haul in his ODI debut against

Nairobi Gymkhana Club. The bowling figures are the second best by a South African as of 2013.[11]

Donald made his Test debut against the West Indies in April 1992, collecting six wickets in the match.[12] He took a five-wicket haul for the first time in Tests when he took 5 wickets for 55 runs against India during the third Test of a four-match series held later that year. He took another five wicket haul in the second innings, thus collecting 12 wickets for 139 runs in the match. Donald went on to repeat this feat against England in November 1999. His career-best bowling figures in an innings came when he took 8 wickets for 71 runs against Zimbabwe in 1995 at the Harare Sports Club.[13] He was most successful against England, taking nine fifers. As of 2013, he is sixteenth overall among all-time combined five-wicket haul takers.[N 4]
