MundaPakistani Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 What i like about him is that he is a fast bowler. He has already won SA 2 or 3 test matches including the one on a dead pitch at Karachi. Hope he has a long career. Link to comment

The Outsider Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 He is really good and I was impressed with him the first time I saw him. One of the horses I've backed from the start along with Sreesanth to have long successful international careers. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 he is a good bowler.. has good swing with good enough pace.. i first watched him bowl in Asia vs Africa series not the recent one but the one which happend in 05.. Link to comment
Chandan Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 He is really good and I was impressed with him the first time I saw him. One of the horses I've backed from the start along with Sreesanth to have long successful international careers. The only problem is his fitness. Remember he couldn't play the first two tests vs India last year and in the third too, he was barely fit, same as Munaf! Link to comment
Ram Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 @ MP I was searching for that video.. couldnt get it.. Thanks for posting.. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 The only problem is his fitness. Remember he couldn't play the first two tests vs India last year and in the third too' date=' he was barely fit, same as Munaf![/quote'] But he has the attitude and commitment to make himself fit over the long run, unlike Munaf (at least till date). Remember, Lee used to break down very often at the start of his career and a lot of fast bowlers struggle with fitness when they arrive at the international scene because domestic cricket has not prepared them for the vigors of international cricket. Working hard with trainers and following good ethics takes some of them to the next level. I think Sreesanth, Johnson, and Steyn have it in them. Am not sure about Asif and Munaf on that count.

Gambit Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Some awesome vids guys! Anyone who thinks cricket is a soft game should look at that Steyn Cummings clip. Link to comment
MundaPakistani Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Some awesome vids guys! Anyone who thinks cricket is a soft game should look at that Steyn Cummings clip. that is how test cricket should always be played! There is too much of this line and length garbage! It only works for certain bowlers like Mcgrath, Pollock,Clark and Asif. Link to comment

gator Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 apparently, he fist got Donald very excited..... SA pace attack has the potential to be back at its pomp of the 90s.... Morkel and Steyn have the potential to match Donald and Polly.... Time will tell though.... Link to comment

Sachinism Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 yeh he's shown great potential against NZ, but the guy has been around a lot longer than that and well he hasnt been really outstanding, he has had a few good performances but nothing spectacular but then again this could be a new improved start by him, only the future will tell Link to comment
chamatkar Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 yeh he's shown great potential against NZ, but the guy has been around a lot longer than that and well he hasnt been really outstanding, he has had a few good performances but nothing spectacular but then again this could be a new improved start by him, only the future will tell PJika, just to note that 5 michelles and 2 ten-fers in 15 tests isn't a bad statistics at all. I'd agree that it's his injuries that have kept folks from discovering his potential. So lets see what his future portends. Link to comment

One of the horses I've backed from the start along with Sreesanth to have long successful international careers. Please dont equate Dale Steyn and Sree Santh in the same sentence :eyedance: SS has miles and miles and miles to go before he can be compared to Dale Steyn. Link to comment

sm332 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 he has had one good series on flattish tracks in Pak ... i would like to see him come to the party on non-Saffie grounds more often. But yes seems a very high quality prospect and sure shot 300 wicket taker if he can stay fit Link to comment
