Pitches and heat a test for SA seamers - Donald
When Allan Donald was last in the UAE, Dubai did not have a single building in the top 50 skyscrapers in the world. It also did not have a metro service, nor did it host international cricket. In 1996, Sharjah was where it all happened. Donald was a member of the touring squad that played in the Pepsi Cup that year.

Walton cautious about Test return
Chadwick Walton has played two Tests for West Indies, but you probably don't know. When he did play those Tests, you either didn't care or were too disgusted with the way things were going in West Indies cricket. It was in 2009 when the first-choice West Indies players went on a strike, and a host of lesser players lost two Tests against Bangladesh. The crowds stayed away; at worst the team was seen...
