Allan Donald remembers Clive Rice
Robbie Kruse catches up with Allan Donald, who got to spend a great deal of time with Clive Rice both on and off the field and the two fondly talk about the man who was a natural leader, competitive player and fighter till the end.
Clive Rice, the first post-apartheid captain of South Africa and a famed all-rounder, finally succumbed to an opponent he could not beat when he died on Tuesday, five days after his 66th birthday.
Rice, who had been suffering from a brain tumour and lung cancer, acknowledged in a recent interview that he was "in the departure lounge" but was determined to fight until the end.
Former teammate and friend, Allan Donald talks fondly of the man who was undoubtedly one of the best all-rounders of his era.
