 Harmison will be back to his best: Donald

Former South African pace great Allan Donald believes his experience of being a Test fast bowler will help provide the ‘spark’ that will see Stephen Harmison back to his best.
Harmison, who three years ago was ranked the world’s best bowler, has struggled for wickets in recent times. Having endured a lacklustre series in Australia where England surrendered the Ashes 0-5, Harmison has been off-target with the new ball during the current campaign against a weak West Indies side.
Donald has been given a five-week trial working with England’s pace bowlers, which could yet lead to a permanent position. And on his first day in his new job at Old Trafford in Manchester, where the third Test starts Thursday with England looking to go an unbeatable 2-0 up, Donald was seen having a lengthy conversation with Harmison.
“I was a rhythm bowler and I see Harmy as a rhythm bowler as well,” Donald, clad in the unfamiliar uniform of an England tracksuit and cap said.
