Cricket: Donald wants youngsters to step up

JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's new bowling coach Allan Donald plans to create an attack which is "cocky and arrogant in all the right ways" during his stint with the team. "The training ground is meant to be the most hostile," he said. "That is where it must all happen so when the captain goes in the match, he will be absolutely sure of what everyone can give him. I want the younger guys to punch a hole into the line up and not just sit and wait for their turn. "Donald has suggested that training in the nets be as competitive as possible to train the bowlers to get acquainted with match pressure situations.
