#Michael Atherton

Can't imagine Athers has many Aussie youngsters asking him to sign his 2002 autobiography! 😅📕

Michael Atherton vs Allan Donald. Trent Bridge, 1998. South Africa were 1–0 up in the series with England needing 247 in the 4th innings so as usual Allan Donald was there with his tail up. Then came *that* moment. Michael Atherton on 27, a brutal short ball, a faint glove that went straight through to Boucher. The South Africans went up but umpire Steve Dunne didn’t move. What followed wasn’t just a spell but absolute theatre. Pure, raw and unforgettable. A furious Allan Donald charging in again and again with bouncers whistling past the helmet, thudding into the body with glares, words and the heat. Michael Atherton didn’t flinch, didn’t bite. He just stood there absorbing, enduring and refusing to give an inch. Well, isn't that the beauty about Test Match Cricket? After enduring those 45min, the moment passed. The spell broke. And quietly, almost stubbornly, Atherton carried on. He walked off unbeaten on 98 with England winning by 8 wickets and levelling the series. Later, in a gesture that said everything, Atherton walked into the South African dressing room with beers and handed Allan Donald his right glove, marked deep red from the battle. Just respect at the end of everything. Here's to the iconic duel between @allan.don33 and @athersmike1 🔥 . . . . . #Cricket #TestCricket #AllanDonald #MichaelAtherton #CricketReels
