South African legend eyes England role
Cricket, 10:28, February 4, 2010 ,
South Africa pace legend Allan Donald has confirmed his interest in becoming England's new bowling coach following Ottis Gibson's exit.
The 43-year-old, who was the first South African bowler to take 300 Test wickets, has already had a stint in the role in 2007 when he coached England's bowlers for the last two Test matches against West Indies that year, the following one-day series and the Twenty20 World Cup. However Donald opted not to take up a permanent position at the time in order to spend more time with his family.
Gibson took over from Donald, but has departed this week after deciding to take on the role of West Indies head coach.
Donald, who stepped down as Warwickshire's bowling coach at the end of the last domestic season, is aware that he is being mentioned as Gibson's successor and would not rule himself out.
He told BBC Sport: "I would be interested to have a go.
"In 2007 I simply couldn't afford to take the offer from the ECB because of my son's medical condition, but since then things have gone well."
He added: "I know my name has been thrown around a bit now and when jobs like this come up it is a massive carrot that dangles in front of anybody.
"I'm in the dark a bit though. The ECB has not made an approach. I am just waiting to see what the next move is."
