1. I think Steyn by the end of his career will go down as a great bowler and a contender for the All-Time South African XI. In 20 years time he will be looked on as a terrific bowler especially considering the general conditions he has bowled in during his career to date.
2. I think that the latter half of the 60s to the early 70s had a paucity of top fast bowlers similar to now. From Trueman's retirement to the debut of Lillee there wasn't really a great quick bowler around imho. Maybe John Snow was the best at the time, but I think Steyn can be considered better than him already.
