Is Steyn rubbish for limited overs cricket?

Every time he plays a ODI or T20 match' date=' I just see him being smashed around.[/quote'] Steyn is an interesting bowler. Because of his low trajectory, he can come on to the bat and get hit around a fair bit in limited overs cricket, especially if the pitch is slow, negating his pace. They showed something interesting on Hawkeye after a few Steyn overs, that his good length deliveries went at a strike rate of just 9 and that even the slightest erring of length was punished at a strike rate of over 100 - just shows the small margin of error for a bowler like Steyn on a track like that. Moreover, Steyn, even in Test cricket, is prone to a wayward spell, something that won't go unpunished in an ODI or T20. However, Steyn can and has produced his fair share of good ODI and T20 spells, especially when the pitch favours him and his overall statistics are not too shabby, tbh.
