Dale Steyn retires from red ball cricket

[Sachinism]

That is all

[Nikola]

Modern day great. Good luck for future.

Injuries last 4 years hampered him from getting to 500 test wickets

[Ankit_sharma03]

ATG.....Sad injuries impacted his career in last few years. Was a sight to watch while bowling

[nevada]

Great career derailed by injuries the last few years. At one point 500 wickets for him looked like a sure thing. Sad to see him go this way. Would have been nice to sign off after playing at-least one full series.

[Laaloo]

Ugh

[Laaloo]

Top 3 fast bowler ever. So awesome to watch.

[Jimmy Cliff]

Greatest Test cricketer in the world from 2008-2015. A pity about all the injuries in the last 4 years. Otherwise he was good enough for 500 wickets in 100 Tests.

[Cricketics]

Bowler you always wanted to watch. Made the test cricket more watchable and lively every time one would think the game is getting boring. 

 

Haven't enjoyed watching any bowler more than this guy in last 10 years. 

 

Wish he had some more left to offer, but he knows what he is doing with this decision. 

[Vk1]

what a delight to watch.. GOAT of fast bowlers

[cricketfan28]

good for him.

[Mosher]

ATG bowler whose career was plagued by injuries. Loved to see him bowl. Sad to see the Steyn gun go. 

[cricketfan28]

hope to see him in ipl, will be a good practice for our talented youngsters.

 

[Moochad]

Him and Mcgrath are the best fast bowlers I have ever watched. Test cricket will never be the same

[Vijy]

An ATG career whose stats underwent a bit of decline due to continuous injuries.

[Real McCoy]

Dale Steyn will be an all time great bowler. In a time of batting roads, he has managed to outwit many a batsmen. We should thank him for ending Hitman's test career otherwise he will still be playing as a middle order bat under his old buddy rat

[Nikhil_cric]

Kept high quality fast bowling alive in a very dry period (07-13) . In the top 3 to ever bowl fast in test cricket . Those vicious late outswinger s which swung from outside leg to top of off , reverse with the old ball, a menacing skiddy bouncer and of course the ability to bowl faster spells as the day progresses. Probably the last great fast bowler in test cricket.

we have not seen the end of hitman yet... too premature to rule him out. as long as ratman is captain, hitman is not far behind.

We need both of them to succeed date I say even in test cricket. The emotional part of me DOESN'T want to see a failed test career for hitman.
