Amazing strike rate of 24.5, completely overshadowing steyn since his arrival

Very good start in Tests still a below average oneday bowler (more matches than wickets in List A record) and yet to play in SC.

Amazing strike rate of 24.5' date=' completely overshadowing steyn since his arrival[/quote'] actually w/o steyn i dont think he would ve been this effective like today steyn built so much pressure gave like 19runs in 16 overs and when partnership was building he was still looking threatening he is gonna peak in england wait n watch :winky: also he got their biggest player out and then got set williamson :P

I dont think he will be playing many ODI's for SA, SA cricket board tend to rest there main bowlers mostly in ODI's so that they could play in test matches fully fit. Perfect example of this is steyn, he debuted in 2005 and since then he has only played 63 ODI's in 7 years

You're right on the money here. Bowlers hunt in packs. For every McGrath there was a Gillespie.
