Allan Donald - 200 wickets in the least matches

Atul Kahate

Allan Donald has become the ninth bowler and the first South African to take 200 wickets in Limited Overs International cricket. He has done so second quickest in terms of balls after Pakistan's Waqar Younis. In terms of matches however, Donald (117) has just about beaten Waqar (118). So, Donald has done it in the least number of matches now.

A bowling average of just over 20 and an economy rate of just over 4 runs per over make Donald one of the greatest of all times.

The following tables show Donald's performances.
