[Johan]

this thread is entirely dedicated to their output at home, Rabada clearly having the edge on Raw stats but Rabada also having better home pitches, whose better purely in home tests?

Steyn — 52 games, 261 wickets @ 21.62 and 40.2 strike rate, 16 5fers and 3 10fers
Rabada — 34 games, 184 wickets @ 19.07 and 33.1 strike rate, 10 5fers and 4 10fers

For some context? Maybe idk could be meaningless drivel

Other pacers in Steyn’s home matches - 1067 @ 30.36
Other South African pacers in Steyn’s home matches - 527 @ 25.74

Other pacers in Rabada’s home matches - 758 @ 25.38
Other South African pacers in Rabada’s home matches - 326 @ 21.26

Both have about half their team’s 5’fers in those matches.

Yes… I was putting the numbers to be specific for anyone who wanted them. Don’t get all snippy.

More like Steyn for Rabada's batting.

If Rabada ever flukes his way to a 50 in any format one day, I will retire this whole thing about his batting

So I'm likely pretty safe then
