Mr. Glass
Is there any other pure fast bowler who bowls very quick worser than Steyn in ODIs? Akhtar, Lee, Waqar, Donald, Tait are(were) all guns in the format. Steyn just keeps getting owned in ODIs.

Interesting. I think the common thing among all those guys is that their stock ball is the inswinger (so they bowl the majority of the balls on the stumps) and they have good yorkers (as does Steyn). Steyn's stock ball is the outswinger and I suppose it is easier to get him away when there isn't much movement. Also no slips in ODIs.

Two backward points and a third man for Haider, what's up with that? Is he an impulsive cutter?

Lee's stock ball is the outswinger in ODIs surely?

Yep. Shane Bond too tended to swing the ball into the right-hander too.

It seems to work a little better in ODIs where the fields tend to be set for straight bowling. Obviously in tests you generally want your RF bowlers moving it away outside off.

Bond is a great example. ODI god, all round legend.

Steyn bowled pretty well today BTW, Hafeez and Afridi just played him well, and he dismissed Hafeez in the end.
