They've 2 of the best Fast bowlers in world cricket in Steyn & M.Morkel but not much more than that.Ya they've an average Tsotsobe,inexperienced Parnell,T20 legend Rusty Theron & Oldy Langeveldt.They've some pace bowling all-rounder in Albie,Kleinveldt,Mclaren but they are really that effective at all & F de wet is already 32 so there isn't many upcoming young pace bowler.......maybe an Ethan'o'reilly who is 5'7 & nippy like Dinda but better built & his pace is around 135-143kph. Anyone else?????????????

Yes...they too are a bit thin on fast bowling. They have not won a test series at home in last 3 years and they don't win enough away either. One more guy, I don't why they are not trying is CJ Devilliars. He is tall and fast medium and is very good.

I thought he looked promising too. Tall, bowls mid 80's gets decent bounce and is accurate. Bowls a good off-cutter from what i remember.

Guys, there are enough fast bowlers in SA. How many more do you want? Dale Steyn is the leader of the attack with Morne Morkel. Both are tremendous, best in the business. Tsotsobe is not bad at all. He is 6'4, bowls around 134 and even if he is having a bad day or bad series, one thing will always go in his favour i.e. his height and ability to generate bounce. Next comes, Parnell and Theron, both have the basics right and can be groomed for the future. Then, they have Jac Kallis who will play till next WC. Albie and Langeveldt are also there, jinhe apni antar aatma ko jagane ki jarurat hai........ I mean, next world cup is after 4 yrs and they can groom whatever resources they have in stock, even at the cost of some matches. Same goes with India. Bas, VK ko chodd ke, aur S aravind ko bhi.
