Cricket Tragic Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Still 150 plus wickets behing bhaji:cantstop: :cantstop:
ganeshran Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 4th best Strike rate in History for any bowler who picked up more than 50 wickets. Only behind Shane Bond in the post war era
Sachin=GOD Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Steyn for me is already an all time great bowler.
retterimp Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 amazing bowler, almost freakish you can say, i would say the bradman of bowling in the current era, purely because he is leagues above his competition. no one comes even remotely close to him right now going slightly offtopic referring to BP's post, i would say umesh yadav is the most skillful indian bowler i have seen at such an early stage of his career. i will be happy if he becomes even half as good as steyn
Magneto Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 4th best Strike rate in History for any bowler who picked up more than 50 wickets. Only behind Shane Bond in the post war era Shane Bond was the real deal. Injuries ate him up.
Magneto Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 :cantstop: Ah, don't compare him to Bhajji. Bhajji is the fourth highest wicket taker (among spinners) in the history of cricket. Steyn has more than 20 pacers ahead of him in terms of wickets. :winky:
Old guy Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 to me shane bond in his prime >dale steyn i just loved seeing him bowl and destroy australia the best team by far in that era
ganeshran Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 Shane Bond was the real deal. Injuries ate him up. Ya. He was a brilliant bowler - IIRC he had back problems and couldnt fulfill his potential.
zep1706 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Will go down as one of the all time greats..absolute legend. Also proves that you can still be the most admired bowler with a pace of 135-140 K if you can swing the ball both ways. Love watching him bowl. Saw him once in Bangalore during an IPL game. His rhythm is unbelievably good.
King Tendulkar Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Ah' date=' don't compare him to Bhajji. Bhajji is the fourth highest wicket taker (among spinners) in the history of cricket. Steyn has more than 20 pacers ahead of him in terms of wickets. :winky:[/quote'] :giggle:
Sachin=GOD Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Shane Bond was the real deal. Injuries ate him up. Ya. He was a brilliant bowler - IIRC he had back problems and couldnt fulfill his potential. Shane Bond's bowling action was the best I've seen in a fast bowler. Incredible bowler.
rkt.india Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 4th best Strike rate in History for any bowler who picked up more than 50 wickets. Only behind Shane Bond in the post war era Shane Bond was a freak, best among Lee, Akhtar, Bond, Steyn for me if not for injuries. PS: I am getting nostalgic, need to watch some Bond stuff on you tube.:winky:
ganeshran Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 ICL was the last nail in the coffin. He was already very prone to back injury
rkt.india Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 ICL was the last nail in the coffin. He was already very prone to back injury No. He joined ICL because he did not have much test cricket left in him due to injuries. He was never at his best in ICL. ICL was just a time pass for him as he was struggling with injuries and could not play test cricket. ICL was a step taken in frustration.
