Has everything to do with it. Sure, some injuries are just unavoidable sometimes but fit bowlers don't get injured too oftenBeing fit has little correlation between later career injuries and loss of performance especially for fast bowlers.
heheSteyn is freakishly fit. Philander, to put it lightly, isn't
Absolutely and helps with recovery from injury too.Has everything to do with it. Sure, some injuries are just unavoidable sometimes but fit bowlers don't get injured too often
im a fat bastard and im alright. old too, tbhYeah it does, where injuries are concerned anyway. Or is Zaheer Khan just unlucky?
Examples of arrogance displayed by Steyn?Don't see how people can get pissed off by his "arrogance" and then love Steyn tbh.
Maybe something like this:Examples of arrogance displayed by Steyn?
Few bowlers were as fit as whispering death and yet few were injured quite as much. Lillee and Bishop are also examples that sometimes **** just happens.Yeah it does, where injuries are concerned anyway. Or is Zaheer Khan just unlucky?
Cheers for that, bud.
Doesn't matter how many achievements of his get pointed out, he'll always remain underrated
could pujara be the batting equivalent of philander?Quick question though, why does his great start seem to get more attention that Pujara's though? One can say both are equally impressive.
Not all injuries are equal, though. Broken backs or blown knees are obviously not indicative of much other than bad luck but if a bloke keeps pulling hammies, you gotta wonder about time they're putting in on the track.Few bowlers were as fit as whispering death and yet few were injured quite as much.

About 50 wickets, give or take, as below:Hey nerds, how long would he have to average like 25 for, for it to happen?
I don't think it's that massive a call, honestly.
He's the best bowler for South African conditions in the world. I would take him ahead of Steyn in South Africa without too much hesitation, and he's going to play half his matches there - possibly more. He's already taken 102 wickets at less than 18 and he's 28 years old. If he takes his next 50 wickets @ 24.9 then he'll still average < 20 after that, and I fully expect him to average < 20 in the matches he plays in South Africa over that period so we're looking at at 30+ average overseas for his next 50 wickets or so to get it up there by then. Given how he's prone to being a bit under-rated and also prone to letting himself get out of condition, not to mention generally poor attitude across his earlier career, I don't think it'll take too many games of him looking pedestrian for the selectors in their infinite wisdom to drop him for a 6ft6 bloke who bowls at 145km/h once the decline comes.
If I were a betting man (lol) I'd be backing very low 20s, but him finishing with a career average below 20 is in no way out of the question. Him playing on into his mid 30s and taking 300 wickets at < 20 would definitely surprise me but him ending his career at that mark wouldn't really at all.
