***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[robelinda]

Its good when the ball bounces once to the keeper. Don't know if i could've taken 5 days of that Delhi pitch.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Does anyone else think that Steyn has a slight kink in his action, which is further accentuated when he bowls short?

 

[Flem274*]

Haha, good on Clarke. Don't let that bastard quick have a spray at you without telling him he's not going to get you out.

Just back it up with your bat ****.

gee mate calm down - it's his debut

To right handers yes. He has a pretty ordinary record against left handers.

 

[Woodster]

Could be very important for Australia if the skipper can get through this period against the short ball and his one-sided battle against Steyn so far. Needs to really dig in, show some courage, and not give it away, despite probably having a trickle of the brown stuff going down his hamstrings right now.

Donald used to bowl spells like this regularly. Problem was they'd only last a couple of overs whereas you don't get the same feeling from Steyn. Will charge in as hard in the 80th as he did in the 1st. Gun.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wonder if Steyn will try going close to the stumps around the wicket at any stage. Was a pretty ordinary over to Marsh just then, in direct contrast to the super over against Clarke.

If Steyn can get 12 wkts in this 2 test series, he will equal Lillee as the fastest ever to 250 wkts (48 tests)

 

[Spark]

wonder if steyn will pull out a pocket knife and start bowling those instead

 

[Daemon]

Stop from Boucher.

See off Steyn and your reward is Morne Morkel...fun.

 

[robelinda]

Wonder why Steyn has bowled so badly in england? You'd think he would decimate the Poms over there.

Left v right. Massive contrast in how he bowls to them.

See off Rudra Pratap and Sreesanth is unleashed on you. Sounds slightly less fun?

He only played in two of the tests, the first on a road at Lord's without much preparation.He did all right in the second and then broke his thumb.

You're talking about a different quality of opposition there my friend.
