Interesting fact: Dale Steyn's best bowling figures weren't ar home or on the bouncy tracks of Australia or England but on dead flat Indian pitches against India 7/51. That just defines his class as an all round bowler
It is no surprise since the era he played in didn't have many great bowlers. Back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, there was a massive number of great fast bowlers so topping the charts for a long time for any particular bowler was difficult. However, it doesn't change the fact that he is a legend and a great fast bowler.
Successful in home conditions Successful overseas Successful in Asia Successful against every team The greatest fast bowler of the 21st century without a shadow of doubt 'Dale Willem Steyn' 🙌💯
5 Wickets a test match indicates a truly great bowler. For reference, Muralitharan averaged about 6, and he is arguably the best bowler of all time, just in terms of stats alone .
@@geographyhistorygeopolitic3851 Not really something he could change, but still averaged just under 6 wickets a match against all other opposition, so still an absolutely incredible record.
I don’t know why but it’s my fantasy to see this South Africa team Vs Current Indian team in test lead by Kohli! And yes that too in South Africa maybe in Cape or Joburg! And Dale steyn, Morne Morkel, tsobe bowling long spells against Rohit, Kohli and Pujara... Kohli vs Steyn in Cape, plus on pink ball... Wow a grand slam coming to South Africa, what say?

Steyn dominated the number one spot in the ICC test rankings during the peak of his career, for a record 263 weeks between 2008 and 2014. Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan sits next on the list with 214 weeks. In terms of days, Steyn has spent 2,356 days at the top as of 6 October 2016, the most by any bowler since World War II. You have a bit of pie in your face Ruben Aucamp!
the best of his generation.he has decimated batting lineups on dust bowls,flat roads and green mambas consistently.Between 2007 and 2015 Steyn never missed a test series for SA. Unfortunately injury has plagued him since then,I hope we get to see this all time great bowl again for SA. Salute.
I really feel bad for proteas now, struggling to find success for the past few years since. What a team they were, today it's sad to see their state with Dad and de Kock try to keep it together, I just hope they find some new good players like how it was when they first found Smith.
There is a strict reservation for players on the basis of skin colour since 2000, but it has become stricter to give benefits to coloured players and that is why world-class players like R Rossouw, D Olivier , K Abbott and N McKenzie had chosen to leave South Africa and play in English counties, thank you .
With all the wickets and celebrations, the way AB Deviliers hugged and congratulated Steyn was my best moment.. the most heartwarming hug a teammate can give to another.. brilliant!! 😌❤️😌
Both Dale steyn, and Shane bond have a very simplistic bowling action, and generate impressive pace!! Just beautiful to watch them in action. Another legend, who has a very simple bowling action and clocks at a generous 130 kmph but as effective as any pacer, is McGrath! I just Love ’em all.
Amazing cricketer Dale Steyn is. Had he not been injured for the last year or two, he would have more wickets than Jimmy Anderson. Would rate Steyn over Anderson anyday cause Anderson is a home bully.
No doubt. Steyn has conquered the whole world during his cricketing career..such a gem of pace and swing.. absolutely class act... Unlike Jimmy Anderson who can swing on home soil..
I appreciate the fact that this channel does not show only those matches/clips where the Australian team dominates but rather it shows all instances of good cricket, whether the home team or the away team.
You are one of the greatest fast bowler of this era you continuously going through many injuries obstacles still there no a lot more effect of it has to be seen in your career you are great and your balling idea is too brilliant Mr steyn gun keep good balling up in future games in ipl 2020 for RCB

As a child I would copy his bowling action and this gave me enormous amounts of speed and control. In fact, until now I have a bowling action similar to him.
Dale Steyn was outstanding during his physical prime from 2007-13. The 140 km/hr+ outswingers at 1:04 and 3:06 shows how talented he was. He was a natural athlete with an excellent fitness record for a fast bowler. After he turned 30 injuries started hampering him and he was never the same after he suffered a serious shoulder injury in 2015.
Good Wishes for your retirement "Styen Gun "....Iff injuries doesn't come in your way then you are still nightmare for batsmans ... Loge dale Love you Styen Gun 💖💖💖 Thank you for your memories

He is the GOAT
On that green grassy pitch SA had to declare their innings.
pitch was broken at that test match day 4....he was left with using the cracks in the pitch which was a tuff task
Hi
He spent 2356 days at top of ICC test rankings the real dominance and consistency.Which is the most by a bowler after World War ll.
Wow
Even Murali top the rankings for 1600+ days ❤️

That Greame Smith's team was the best of this century

Umar M why not respect both as fantastic bowlers? Why choose?
H K I respect both very much, Anderson is very good and 500 is a great achievement. But if you talk about who's better, it's Steyn obviously.
Steyn's specialty is seam-bowling...Anderson has better grip over swing.
