I wonder whether he'll play Tests again. Shoulder injuries for quicks are often career-ending, let alone at his age. I guess we'll see but geez I hope we haven't seen the last of him.

Interesting choice of posters to back you up.
Like referencing Hitler and the KKK in a discussion about why multiculturalism is ****.

Steyn has been getting injured during matches a little too frequently of late. Need to start thinking of life without him even if he does make a comeback, Rabada's rise couldn't be timed better. It will be something if Saf manage to not lose this series without both AB and Steyn in the team.

6-12 months?! **** that's terrible.
Saddest thing is he's still bowling brilliantly when he's fit. Shoulder injuries for pacers are always brutal but for it to happen to the best in the world at this age is gutting. Hope he comes back.

Really poor day of cricket from Australia; very rare to see them fritter away at home such a strong position in a Test match (on the rare occasions when they have done it, it's almost always been against SA).
How long can Oz persist with Marsh/Nevill at 6 & 7? They've been pretty patient and if anything, they look like they belong less at this level than they did 12 months ago. Hard to believe Nevill has such a good first-class batting record based on what I've seen of him in Tests; he's not even a particularly 'busy' batsman as he increasingly seems to get bogged down too easily.
And when you factor in Voges, the middle order just feels too passive. Unless they do something in the 2nd innings it's time for a change there.
And kudos to SA; I thought they'd thrown away this Test 24 hours ago but they learnt their lessons and were superbly disciplined all day.

Damn shame to see Steyn go out like that, after Warner's wicket he looked like he was on song to get a few more. Been reading a lot of comments around saying this could possibly be the last time we'll see him bowl, hopefully he can pull a Dennis Lillee at this end of his career.
Who do you guys think will be brought in for the next test? I'm expecting Morkel but I hope Abbott gets a call up. Sure, he's line and length like Philander but he has that extra zip off the wicket and I think, at the least, he'd be decent on this pitch. If Morkel does get picked, I hope he lives up to his potential and leads the attack well.

Yeah I think we've been a bit quick to write an obituary for the man when he's still alive and kicking.
I won't go as far as claiming to be clairvoyant, but Steyn to me seems like a guy who will refuse to end his career on anything but his own terms.

Should be Abbott. Has form and miles in the legs. Morkel's not so much a genius that you'd rush him back although, that said, from the highlights he didn't bowl too badly in the warmups when others were getting slapped.
