Is it too early to declare Dale Steyn as an all-time great?

[Cevno]

Not really. Considering Swann has an average of 25.

28,tbh.

And Swann is a spinner plus i expect his average to somewhat do up too.


Also in terms of strike rate no one comes close to Steyn.

Steyn would still need to be at least 7 points lower than any other bowler IMO, if not more to be on the level you were suggesting

Just needs to face the current Australian batting line up in a five test series for that.

Australian batting has dropped off since then.

Refer to this thread and the figures of Zaheer and the English bowlers in the last 2 series against them-

But we don't have a team full of Sehwags who miss the ball by a foot when it bounces above penis height

Same personnel I'd have thought. Hussey out of form then and clarke out of form now.

Better miss the ball than keep edging it to the slips ,à la Clarke and Ponting.

Well Sehwag would miss the ball continuously then just prod one forward to mid off. At least our boys could have a slash at it and connect

Different mindset though.

Got_Spin's posting has deteriorated far too much tbh. There isn't a day when I don't cringe at his posts of late.

You guys are entitled to appreciate the humour (lol), I've seen enough to notice the pattern in his posts.

And you wonder why Indian fans are the most annoying in the world.

Umm... Go on, yeah I say he is an ATG. Too good to deny, consistent and likes to keep healthy.
