Dale Steyn- You Brute

[vvvslaxman]

one that got McCullum was slow ball. First ball was swinging away. Second and third was pretty quick that McCullum was late on it despite not so special length.

i doubt he would have bowled these lengths to batsmen who are strong at hitting to off side ..

Stupid move by McCullum to face Steyn. He should have taken a single just like Junaid did in Asia Cup and given the strike to set batsman in form.

Because batsman cannot get under it if it's at his feet Pitch map does not shows u where batsman played the ball It was hard for them to get under any ball that's all I am saying ..if they stood deep in crease steyn would have bowled Yorker length but since they were outside the crease he pulled length back otherwise Yorkers would have been full toss

No. This is not the reason. Steyn is not able to bowl good Yorkers, the reason he bowls length ir short of length but try to bowl them quick to hurry the batsman that may lead to mishit.

One ball was a slower one.. One that Nathan got out.

still length.

[ravishingravi]

Steyn didn't bowl any special deliveries. They were all length balls' date=' pretty fast ones though. Kiwis were just all over the place, swinging at everything. As said earlier, they played the bowler, not the ball.[/quote'] Watched the final over waiting or something special. Still waiting.

[undisputed chap]

Fluke over against tailenders. All he did was bowl length outside off.

I remember munaf patel defending 4 runs (with 48 balls remaining) against SA, Nehra defending 9 runs in the last over against Pak. And who can forget the epic Jogi last over to win t20 WC? :hysterical:

If Dhoni gerts such kind of width in the end overs there is no telling where it would land

[rajmarie]

I watched it and I personally think it was a case poor batting than great bowling. He bowled all length balls' date=' yes they were fast but a good batsman would have smacked them out of the park.[/quote'] Yes...agreed. NZ choked. Taylor only faced the last ball....& this proves that NZ batsman lost the plot there only. Taylor himself should have gone over and asked the other batsman to get him on strike rather then try to be a hero themselves. But kudos to Steyn for holding his nerve....bowling to the field set...& didn't try any stupid or leg side delivery. Seeing Steyn discipline...wonder how Ishant who gets to play with Steyn in IPL cant get that...atleast some of that.
