Also this... I too felt he was way too floaty.  Maybe inept Bowling coach played its part too

 

Swing is always floaty.

Steyn too wasn't floaty, so does Bond when trying to swing. Even Umesh is quite zippy even when he tries to swing the ball.

Steyn had a ridiculously flexible wrist that allowed him to get a lot of backspin revs. 

 

But even then he used to get smashed when he bowled full and didn't get that swing. 

 

But when the ball wasn't swinging he would pepper the batsmen with skiddy short balls and get wickets. 

 

Bowled a high percentage of short balls in his career. 

 

Only ATG fast bowler I've seen who found success without being particularly accurate in terms of length.

Well, one has to pitch the ball full to see if there is any swing, if there isn't then bowlers will have to pull their lengths back or bowl at the good length area to generate any seam movement.
Coming to Steyn, he actually has an immense control on his good length, it's just that he didn't had "variations" which is a must now for the flat patta's. Similar issue like Shami.

Bumrah is perhaps the only one bowler who can bowl and control his lengths "on demand".

Bowlers are tired it seems.
Kaverappa was bowling 128-135 in first inns, now bowling at 124-126

 

He's suited for white ball cricket

Kuldeep Sen's fuller balls hardly look floaty.. Prasidh when pitches it full is completely reverse 

It will be floaty if you look for swing. You have to release the ball to get swing.

T20's right ?
Don't say ODI, he too will leak century on a flat patta like trundler legends (Vinay and Bhuvaneshwar).

 

yeah mostly T20Is. There too he needs to add death bowling skills.

If those are the speeds he’s bowling, he’s not suited for anything bowling related lol.

 

In T20s bowlers tend to bowl faster. He touches 135-140 there I think.
