CSK Fan Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I can wager he was one of the chief reasons why this flat track was prepared, to completely negate him out. India was a tad worried!
Gambit Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Don't judge him too harshly. This track had nothing for the quickies.
cochise Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 No, no...this track is not flat. It is a late bloomer...scheduled to be in full bloom Sunday. Ya, Steyn is a good bowler and unfortunately, this track is not for him. But you have to say that Sreesanth's effort in the first innings now shines compared to every other fast bowler on display in this test.
riya Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 It is unfair to judge a bowlers ability in this sort of tracks.
theguyinallblue Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 sreesanth looked much better bowler than SA pacers...
OriginalCopy Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Shaun Tait ... Shane Warne .... ummmmm NO! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ... When Sehwag flows, sedimentation is swept away!
Sachinism Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 i felt he was under used at times he was getting a bit of reverse swing going, but smith didnt keep him on, i can understand he was getting expensive in a few overs, but still he's meant to be their main strike bowler
Cricketics Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 it's useles to judge him on that track.. even our promising prospect RP Singh coudn't buy a wicket... Steyn is a good bowler.. i think he bowled way better then Ntini, or harris or any other saf bowler who got murdered last night..
Rajiv Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Finally, I get to see what this guy is made out if So far lower order, but middle stump flyover is always something to watch Not bad, so far
Chaos Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Finally, I get to see what this guy is made out if So far lower order, but middle stump flyover is always something to watch Not bad, so far rajeev is quite lucky to get the ball replaced which SWUNG big TIME
fineleg Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 Finally, I get to see what this guy is made out if So far lower order, but middle stump flyover is always something to watch Not bad, so far He only got lower order wickets, but that spell was brilliant and menacing.
Sachinism Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNWrRWrAZPs]YouTube - Dale Steyn vs India @ Chennai , 1st Test , 29/03/2008[/ame]
cochise Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Lovely in swingers at speed. This boy has the goods.
gs Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Jesus! That was some bowling, especially on a 4th day Indian pitch!!
retterimp Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 with this spell, he is able to get an avg. of about 25 with the ball, which is quite awesome in the subcontinent.
theguyinallblue Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Obviously Rahul Dravid saw the potential in him long ago...and decided to have him in his 20-20 team... looking forward to see him in action in 20-20 IPL.. was he playing in 20-20 world cup which india won??
siddhu Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 i was seeing this guy for the first time and i have to say, i was surprised to see him bowl with so much zip on 4rth day. But is it just me or that his action reminds anyone of Jason Gillespie (Aus)???
riya Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Now all u guys making fun of him the other day ,look at the way he removed the tail ,in no time .He is very talented and will be a real threat in bowler friendly conditions ,no comparisons to people like Tait who was an absolute useless even at Perth .

Gambit Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 BTW Indian batsmen negotiated Steyn with relative ease on the same Jo'burg pitch where Sree destroyed RSA.
