Accepted Coach Job because of Gary Kirsten: Donald


Johannesburg, June 8 (PTI) If at all Allan Donald agreed to be bowling coach of South Africa, it was because of Gary Kirsten's presence as head coach of the team.

Donald, a former Protea fast bowler, said he would have refused the offer had someone else was in place of Kirsten, who recently guided India to World Cup triumph.

Donald said the feeling on being offered the job was the same when he was told to play for South Africa after the country was readmitted to international cricket in 1991.

"It was the happiest moment of my life when Gary called me (about ten days earlier)," Donald said.

"It has always been my dream to work with my own people.
