Cricket: Allan Donald has high praise for brilliant young Lions bowler

# Cricket: Former Proteas ace bowler Allan Donald has high praise for young Lions seamer JJ Basson, who recently delivered the best figures by a South African bowler on first-class debut. The 18-year-old took 11 Boland wickets in their CSA four-day match in Johannesburg. Donald, who is one of the Lions’ coaches, says Basson bowled with the maturity of a much older player with a wealth of experience. The young bowler is missing the Lions’ current match against the Knights in Bloemfontein while writing his preliminary matric exams.
