Lord Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Steyn.pitches r flatter these days n he still averages only 23:hatsoff:
FreakazoiD Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Steyn is better, no question! He already has as many wickets as Donald in fewer years in cricket, he will end up competing with Mcgrath and Walsh. In a few years we won't even remember Donald!
Clarke Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 As good as Donald might have been according to his fans, i can't even consider him the same league as Steyn. What was his variety delivery for the most part, the ball that goes straight or something ?
CG Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Alan donlad was more a seam bowler.who lost many years of international cricket as south africa was banned,He was good on flat indian pitches as well.I would rate him above steyn as the quality of batsman and teams generally were better in 1990s.

Scoring has been quite easier in 2000s.
adi B Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 for donald http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/44716.html for steyn http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/47492.html donald pwns steyn in odis but in tests both have similar figures with donald having better avg in both format..but steyn is a fa better batsman
CG Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Steyn. I mean is that even a question?. No its not for kids.
Trichromatic Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I would love to have both Haha, who wouldn't. It would be such a dangerous pair. Both of them can bowl on any surface and against any opposition.
CricLind Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Batting has been MUCH easier in the 2000s. There was an article in Cricinfo that listed out the batting stats for the 90s and the 2000s. Steyn is the better bowler, because Donald became a lesser bowler when he started bowling in the 130s instead of the 140s and 150s. Steyn in this tour has bowled in the high 130s mostly but has still been very effective. His SR is the one factor that sets him apart from everyone. All this refers to the Test format. In ODIs, Donald, at all stages of his career, was one of the very best bowlers around.

And SA dropped him for the WC Q/F in 96 against WI :giggle: I have a feeling Cronje was influenced by external factors to make that decision :winky:
