Dale is probably one of the most humble champion that the game has ever seen.
Lalit Gupta that’s South Africa and New Zealand for you
I agree...
but he not too humble when he is in the zone. Those celebrations make him look like a mad man
Brad dіe Irriterend III no, I doubt it, I didn’t even know who he was before now when I searched him up lol
Brad dіe Irriterend III strange, could potentially be my aunt, uncle or cousins, doubt it’d be my grandpa or grandma. And ya, it’s a very unusual surname
Brad dіe Irriterend III Ok no idea who that is. What a coincidence that we share the same surname and both (probably) are from South Africa
How lucky we are to have witnessed these two. A couple of the best fast bowlers of all time.
The two greatest fast bowlers in the post 80's area after Marshall and Wasim and Hadlee in men's cricket .This is a must watch on all levels
Brilliant bowlers, only 2 pacers that can be compared with past greats like Ambrose , Walsh, McGrath, Akram, Marshall, Waqar ,Lillie, Thompson .
Tenac 300 I wouldn’t necessarily say that, some Women’s teams are not a joke like Australia, India, England and South Africa
Anderson is not as good as mcgrath who averages 20 or 21. Jimmy averages 28 or sumthing around there
Tenac 300 why? I’m just saying that some women’s cricket teams aren’t necessarily a joke
Dale Steyn is the greatest bowler in the last 20 years.I saw Dale Steyn take 7-51 on an absolute dead road in Nagpur..the deliveries he bowled to Tendulkar and Dravid were mind boggling...Jimmy is a master of swing and his achievements are great....but Dale Steyn is the King across all formats..
Jimmy doesn't have a bad 50 over record by the way.....
@@benchoreturns3186 Anderson odi stats: 191inngs 269 wickets @29.22 ....compare it with someone like Ajit Agarkar : 188 inngs 288 wickets@ 27.85 ...so u can see there is no comparison when u are talking about the best bowler of this generation... Anderson is fine no mistake...but Dale Steyn overall is the best bowler of this generation if not the greatest of all time...!
Best comment I read here, agree with each word. Jimmy is a great test match bowler, one of the greatest of all time, no doubts about that. But the Steyn Gun fired around the world, roads and greentops and dustbowls alike, at equally ridiculous speeds with all three types of balls. That strike rate is unreal and, according to me, the real mark of a deadly bowler.
The greatest fast bowler of this generation. Period.
The ball he dismissed sachin was a magic 🙏
In terms of greatest test fast bowlers of all time, I’d put Dale at #6 and Jimmy at #11
Dale Steyn has been really humble in this interview, owing all his success to his captain Smith how he used him to best of his ability and his partner bowlers how they put pressure on the batsman by drying up runs and taking wickets. Giving Boucher and Pollock credit for his skills. He is one of the rare overseas fast bowlers who conquered Asian conditions.
Anderson is a great bowler and his skill and longevity stands out in English condition , but Steyn did the basics exceptionally well and his aggression blew batting line ups apart.
Steyn 26 5fers and 5 10wicket hauls in 93 matches, Anderson 28 5fers and 3 10wicket halls in 151 matches, Steyn no 1 fast bowler for 2000+ days compared to Andersons 380....
Dale steyn was the best fast bowler of this generation by a country mile.
Yes, but Jimmy’s progression as a bowler in the 2nd half of his career is just as impressive. Obviously he hasn’t got as much pace but I felt pace was Dale’s biggest weapon.
Steyn is the better overall bowler. Can bowl in a much bigger variety of conditions. But I think most people would agree there's nothing like facing Anderson on a swinging pitch. Virtually unplayable. But yeah Steyn overall by far.
In no way I'm trying to disrespect Anderson, he is awesome. But is he even rated the best bowler England had? Is he rated higher than Botham?
Steyn just comes in a different league like Akram, McGrath, Hadlee, Marshal.
@@kartikkmkm499 I would say Anderson is better than Botham. Is he the best ever? Umm it's hard to say. The best bowler ever based on statistics is Sydney Barnes.
There's a reason y MichealHolding rates Dale Steyn amongst the top 5 of the best fast bowlers he has seen. To come that from a legend that Michael Holding is is very very big.James Anderson being more of a swing bowler much like the faster version of Vernon Philander was limited because of the external condition. But both are the best our generation has witnessed.
Glad to see Dale give credit to Vern, one of the most underrated bowlers of the modern era. His numbers are stuff of legend.
Steyn was the more talented bowler for sure, but Anderson’s skill and longevity are pretty special!
I disagree
@@AdamSmith-zs6cw why
Steyn is a much better bowler probably the best of the last 15 years
That is incredibly debatable. Anderson's talent is in part why he is so skillful. He's a master bowler, blending range and craftsmanship. Steyn arguably the better, stronger athlete but from a talent perspective...it's too close to be making statements like 'Steyn was the more talented bowler for sure'.
Steyn was good everywhere, Jimmy on the other hand wasn’t as effective outside of England
*I remember a time when batsmen all around the world feared Steyn , it was prominent on their faces and Steyn ripped them apart. Jimmy is definitely one of the greats but Steyn at his peak was on another level*
Didnt last long though
@@shamus3477 was incredible while it lasted
@@shamus3477 No modern day fast bowler can last that long. If Jimmy didn't stop playing other formats he would have retired too.
@@shamus3477 it lasted for decade
Steyn number 1 for me, something about his style that always drew me in. Mitchell Johnsons Ashes redemption will always be the number 1 performance in a series as well, that's was something else.
Styen best bowler of our generation. Johnson best performance of our generation. Period
Very well put. As an Aussie I have to recognize Steyn as overall better than Johnson, but that Ashes series was a notch above any other performance of this era. Damn I enjoyed that series.
Bro thats a faaaast bowler…jimmy is oyt of leauge here! Steyn’s league is of brett,shoaib,starc
Two class acts. I played against a young Jimmy when he played for Lancashire 2nds and he had tremendous potential. Swung it both ways with a good pace. It has taken real hard work and dedication for him to achieve what he has done - well done!
🤣🤣
Dale 5fer at Nagpur test 2010 reverse swing was unbelievable & opened world's eyes to an absolute champion bowler.
In last 15 years, no bowler is able to get wickets in all conditions except styen in test cricket
@@tariniacharya4440 What about Anderson? I hope u remember the recent ind vs eng 1st test at chepauk. Anderson just destroyed the Indian line up with his reverse swing.
@@hrishi6693 taking only 3 wickets in that match
@@hrishi6693 how many wickets anderson had taken in that match
@@tariniacharya4440 Yes 3 wickets but they were enough to shake the entire batting line up. India could never comeback after that. Also Anderson has the most wickets in India by a foreign pacer and 3rd most wickets in Asia by a foreign pacer. So don't even say that Anderson doesn't take wickets in India. He is literally the highest wicket taker in India by a foreign pacer.
Zaheer Khan said that Dale Steyn was the best bowler of his generation.
Who cares what zaheer khan says
Yes bro but zaheer was also one of the best fast bowlers of his generation
@@Ayyaz711 who cares what you said.
And Jimmy was inspired from zaheer's skill of hiding the ball and reverse swing it.
@Abdul Khan shoaib akhtar didnt even come close to dale steyn just bowling fast didnt get him wickets but dale has supreme accuracy thats why he is the best.
Rob Key's grin says it all. He loves cricket
He's come out well during this crisis. Really enjoy his style, humour and at points focus!
Absolute class, these two. Dale seems like a really nice guy.
They both seem great lads. Jimmy is a typical Lancashire lad, friendly and modest, Dale seems cut from the same cloth, he should be an honorary Lancashire lad!
I think the most underrated part of Jimmy's game (also in general) is his longevity. There have been a lot of great talents over the years, but for a fast bowler to notch up 150+ test caps is something else. Steyn - well, don't think I need to say anything there really. Two genuine legends of the sport!
Love to see Rob Key smiling while listening to dese greats. He realy enjoys talking about Cricket.
Nice seeing Keysey panning up and zooming in for no reason
Super humble from Dale, classy bloke
HOW MANY peopleARE INFECTED IN SHIRE ???😂
I feel horrible about myself When I hear Dale Steyn saying I have limited skills. Oh c'mon sir..🙄 It's one thing to swing or ball fast its legendary to swing ball at 95+ mph consistently throughout the career for 15 years..! If that's not a skill for you then I don't know what it is.
His just being honest really. His obviously been made aware of my career stats and best on day performances. 1000+ wickets over the course of a 20 years in the back yard. 25 years later and the 17 wicket record I took on xmas day in '95 with all the extended family is still standing and still talked about every xmas day. Yes, 95% of that talking is me but the facts don't lie.

Don't be intimidated by the greatness that's in your company mate. Im happy to sign autographs for any fan ;)
Dale Steyn knows more about bowling than you do.
@@yeahnah7220 🙄
Dale steyn is very undervalued. No.1 bowler 2008-2012. He was just brilliant, swinging at pace, it's just not something you see often and he got wickets literally EVERYWHERE.
Dale had all ingredients pace aggression swing specially reverse swing above all he was an all weather bowler effective everywhere he was treat to watch
Dale steyn looking like Bear grills
Eating the same food as Bear Grylls?
@Humble For sure, tasty
actually jos buttler looks like bear grylls
even bradley cooper
"Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy ANDERSON!"
🏴🏏🏴
The lad's been playing international cricket since '02 & still going strong. Stay healthy & don't retire yet, still plenty of wickets from you & the Ashes '23!
Steyn is better than jimmy
Dale is miles better
@@ashwatthama2596 no one asked
Steyn is better
But the thing Jimmy has done is incredible.
Playing so long being a fast bowler. Focus on test cricket.
This is character.
These lot coming out saying Dale 8s better but how tho lol? These last few years Jimmy has absolutely hammered teams and been so dominant.
Love this stuff. Fans always bitch and moan saying X is better than Y or whatever. The players themselves who have actually achieved success are genuinely respectful of each other. Good to listen to
jb 927 finally someone made a sensible comment on this video.
Wish more people thought this way!
Yeah, all I’ve seen through the comments is who they think is better, maybe they should take a leaf out of the actual players book and act more humbly instead of arguing the toss.
I think people should simply feel lucky to be able to witness amazing players of the game
Say what you want, dale Steyn was way ahead of everyone else in his generation . He is one of the greatest bowlers of all time !!
Dale Steyn , brett Lee , James Anderson are my favourite fast bowlers 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Best fast bowlers that the world has ever seen.
Dale it's ur humbleness otherwise you are the most skillful bowler ever I have seen .....Dale Steyn ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🔥🔥🔥
Gotta love Steyn, what a player. Gonna start to lose these legends soon, gonna miss these guys.
Glad I could watch Jimmy live in person what a player.
Bringing on these two legends on same podcast is a feat in itself.
Sky the good work up Sky Sports.
Pleasure to have witnessed these two bowl in their primes. Dale Steyn and James Anderson are absolute 🐐
But Gayndia never produced a genuine fast bowler like Steyn,Lee,Marshall,Thompson,Liley etc
Steyn is my all time favorite bowler. I ❤️ you, Dale Steyn.
What a cracking bloke Dale is. A total assassin on the pitch, I didn’t expect that at all.
Steyn: what a genuinely nice, humble guy. Who'd have thunk it?
The dude is so humble
His nickname in the proteas setup was sunshine and now I see why very easy going approachable person
thunk? Lol
No need to say who was better... I'm just grateful I had the opportunity of witnessing both guys during their primes! Simply the best bowlers of a generation
Ultimate legends. Best bowlers in the modern Era. Privileged to witness these legends.
Dale Steyn and James Anderson are truly outstanding test match fast bowlers and have proved themselves all over the world.
It wasn’t simply about who was the best bowler. It is about partnerships. Dale at one end, Morkel at the other. In their prime they were a devastating partnership.
Plus Vernon Philander, and the spin of Imran Tahir. One of the best if not the best bowling attack of all time.
Then we had the batsmen too. In Test Cricket. Graham Smith and Mackenzie opening. 3 Alma, 4 Kallis, 5 Gibbs and 6 AB Devilliers. 7 De Kock, 8 Philander, 9 Steyn, 10 Tahir and 11 Morkel.
Yes, Rabada is a world class bowler in any era, but I don't think South Africa has ever had such a great test cricket team prior or post isolation. That entire team was phenomenally talented.
Dale Steyn is probably the best bowler the world has seen. Miss those days.
@@jonathanandtrishavlogs6874first south africa
Dale Steyn is one of the rarest bowler who could bowl very fast as well as swing. He had a banana swing. But Jimmy Anderson bowls more tight length and swing it. He has immense control of his bowling.

Great bit of research!
Best Comment. Period.
Dale Steyn was the leader of attack in overseas tour, but Anderson used to hide behind other bowlers specially when touring asia
This must have taken you a lot of work. Top man! Subscribed!
What an amazing video. Feels amazing to see two legends being so humble and talking casually. Loved it!
Commenting to wish Rob Key well in his recovery, he is such a good broadcaster. Two icons of bowling here as well!
Comparing Dale Steyn with Jimmy is like comparing Curtly Ambrose with Courtney Walsh ... the latter took more wickets but the former was a far superior bowler.
Yes u are right zimmy cannot get dravid and tendulkar out on a highway on nagpur like dale did
Absolutely, well said and good comparison.. Curtley is a true great..so is Steyn. Put them on an equal footing. On his day though nobody beats the unstoppable force of nature that is Curtley.
@@rogerparker4468 Ambrose was incredible. On their day, Waqar Younis was devastating & Dennis Lillee regularly ran through sides, with incredible skill, pace & the complete arsenal.
Jimmy is a better bowler.
jimmy got your beloved sachin out just the 8 times in test cricket
Dale is a bowler who can make you shiver just look at his eyes when he used to bowl he is the greatest
Yes its true, Jimmy Anderson was more skillful. He could swing the ball and swing the ball out and was completely unplayable. He . But when the conditions weren't assisting, he was helpless.
But Dale Steyn was different. He never gave up. Just like Lillee. Even when a partnership was building, he ran in full throttle trying to get one wicket, then another another.
He could swing the ball out with pace and try to nip it back in when it was reversing. He bowled consistently around 145kph with a top speed of 156 kph
He is the only bowler of the league of the great bowlers of the 80s.
Cummins also
Facts
Is it only me or others feel this too - Dukes ball swings a lot more than the other ones, one of the MAIN reasons why Jimmy has been successful (if u look at his stats he is not that good outside England, not just the home conditions but THE BALL USED MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE i feel) .wht do u guys think
True..the best of this generation
Dinesh Kundnani he got 216 wickets out side England that alone would put him in india top 5 seamer bowlers all time
What a great interview. Two of the greats of modern cricket being so humble in their approach. As they rightly said that people don't remember what you did for long but how you did it stays forever. Thank you both for those amazing memories.
Dale Steyn is so humble
I would have to say, as good as Jimmy is, Dale is just a better bowler in my opinion.
Speed kills, but it also means you are more likely to crush. So Anderson has been the better bowler.
John Best as I said. Dale Steyn is the better bowler in my opinion. I don’t think you can’t really objectively judge these two as they are both some of the best bowlers of the modern era
For the match yeah i agree but jimmys longevity is fantastic
Ben Davis can’t agree more. Jimmy has been going at it for a long time, but also it’s easier when you don’t bowl 150+ km/h
William Knipe 100%
They should have included Mitchell Johnson too.. because this trio of bowlers dominated the era
Stuart broad also
You should not be allowed to be as humble as Dale. I honestly love that so much!!
They both have great admiration and respect for each other , Dale could scare the life out of any batsman and Jimmy could swing the ball either way to get you out.
@43:50 Sachin fans...
Huge fan of Steyn and James but checked that incident of LBW shout ....found none in the footage nor in Cricinfo commentary.
Exactly, that was as chanceless an inning as it gets! Literally, there were no appeals made throughout the innings and the SA shouts were limited to the occasional ooh aahs for the aerial shots.
@@shubhamtoshniwal8180 he might have been confused with other innings of Master Blaster.
Seeing Dale steyn get pumped after taking a wicket gets me pumped 😅
What an interview!!! Both quite different bowlers, there's absolutely no reason to compare. Both passionate about the game and gave us the best years of Swing and Pace bowling. Great to watch! They should get them to meet in person after the pandemic dies out.
The best of the packs of the last couple decades. Thank you for getting them together. watched the whole episode at one go! Respect for Dale & Jimmy!
I remember when steyn was at warwickshire before he made his test debut. He didnt play at lot for us but you could tell his talent from the off
The large difference between Jimmy and Steyn is when Steyn had a sniff and got that aggression going, hardly anyone could stop that, hence the great strike-rate.
As for Nassir. Just a poes 😂
Lol huge poes
And Steyn can take wickets abroad
🤣🤣🤣
28:00 imagine having to answer this. What a poes
Aka Skinz J Anderson has 214 wickets outside of England
What a fascinating interview between 2 of the greatest fast bowlers one of the greatest captains of the game. What struck me was both Anderson and Steyn not just highlighting the physical challenges of being a fast bowler but the mental challenges as well. For example, Steyn saying how Boucher used to tell him how he felt Steyn was bowling in or Anderson getting the same input from Broad. Fast bowlers are a thing of wonder in Cricket. They can just run away with games in a flash but they can also concede games like that. Anderson bowling the final over vs Australia at PE or Steyn giving the semis against New Zealand at Auckland are prime examples of that. All things said and done, both of them will go down as hall of famers for sure. Steyn is surely the greatest bowler after McGrath hung his shoes. Hope Sky does one more these hangout calls with All-rounders. I for one would love to see Freddie speaking Jack Kallis about the challenges of being an all-rounder as well. Well done Sky!
This is a treat to listen to - the best two quick bowling merchants of the last 15 years sharing their insights. Them Apex Predators - Anderson and STEYN! Mad respect for their skills and longevity!
What a great Vodcast with 2 unbelievably good bowlers. Thank you!
Rewatching this on the day Dale announced his full retirement. What a pleasure it was to watch him bowl
Loving the respect shown to each other from the bowlers. They really understand just how good the other guy is.
Two genuine world class bowlers. Seam, swing and pace.
Jimmy was an amazing bowler and medium pacer. He had amazing swing and was very skillful.
Dale could do all that at a speed of 90+mph. Now just remember to close your open mouth. Dale is just that, amazing and bustling with energy. The complete bowler!!! Dale was a different bowler once reverse swing used to come in picture. On top of that, he is so humble off the field. Never sledged batsmen, just rattled them with pure talent.
I agree on some levels, but you have to account for the fact they are such different bowlers. Like Jimmy was saying, he was about repeatability and longevity. No bowler could ever compare in my eyes to what he can do with a Dukes ball. All hail the King of swing!
All Thanks to Mike Watkinson
@@austindangerpowers8453 As i said, Jimmy is skillful. He is also intelligent. I am at no point saying he is not good. He bowls at an ideal speed (early to mid 80s mph) to swing the ball. He is amazing, just that Dale with that extra pace and still swinging the ball is extra amazing. Jimmy swings the ball nicely, but i wouldn't go as far as calling him king of swing. But yes, he is right at the top half in the category of most amazing bowlers of the current times. Also, Dale did it with Dukes, kookaburra and SG all three. His display of reverse swing in india at 90-95 mph was simply superb. I have not seen a better performance by a visiting fast bowler in India. Also, the wickets he took down under with kookaburra... And all that without the addition of chirping or sledging. Just pure aggression in bowling, you got to give it to him
@JOKER Compared to his later half, yes...But compared to Dale at any stage, NO :) He was never a 145K bowler.
S N he was bowling 140km today against Pakistan, aged 39. You may want to rethink that statement :)
Dale sir is not only best bowlers but warm hearted also..
Who would say that jimmy would retire today. I am happy to see this interview. 21 years of my life i saw Jimmy Anderson bowling. I am grateful to see a swing legend. Thank you for everything brother.
This was probably one of the best cricket interviews I have seen. Two of the games most humble greats. Congrats to the team who put this together. I feel as if Steyn didn't realy get the send off that he deserved.
Steyn is Iconic💕Most loved Fast bowler in India and both are modern greats
The star here is Rob Key, for asking all of the right questions.
Loved this. 2 of the best ever and 2 of my favourites ever. Both seem like really decent, down to earth guys as well.
As someone who tried to mimic their actions when I started to bowl, it's nice to see two of my fav bowlers (legends o the game) talk about their careers, big fan of Jimmy & Dale, love from India.
The Hungry 🦁 lion..
The living legend
Dale Steyn is down to earth
Thanks so much SkyCricket. A fantastic interview to while away the lockdown.
Wow amazing... 2 of the modern greats in one video. Respect for both legends. It was my dream to see them together. Thanks sky Sports
Love to see you guys!
Dale is best bowler outside subcontinent who reverse swing the ball so beautifuly..easily the best bowler from past 12 years ..
No he’s not easily
@@lightningleaf23 He is probably best of the last 15 years while Jimmy he is without a doubt the best bowler in English conditions
tsebo phasha I like them both but think jimmy had more skill which is why at 37 he’s still getting test wickets. Steyn needed his pace as without it he’s hasn’t quite got the same skill level. They are both great not much between them.
@@lightningleaf23 Jimmy had skill for a certain type of conditions but steyn was overall a better bowler .Compare their records and you will see there is no competition .I think Jimmy's action is a reason for his longevity but people seem to forget Steyn hardly got injured until 2016 AUS tour and he was no.1 for around 5 years straight.I am not trying to dismiss Jimmy as a great bowler because he is a fantastic bowler and probably one of the fittest bowlers ever but Dale was just better on all fronts whether home records or away records ,strike rate, averages,five or ten wicket haul away .
@@lightningleaf23 he is easily dale dominate in all condition Anderson didn't
Great video podcast. Both are incredible bowlers with unique skill sets. I could watch their wicket taking all day
That feeling man!!!!!! You both are the best..listening ur experiences feels so good
Steyn easily top 10 fast bowlers in Test history. Beast! Gonna miss him when he retires.
Naser hussain looks like my chemistry professor 😂😂😂
The two greatest fast bowlers in the post 80's area after Marshall and Wasim and Hadlee in men's cricket .This is a must watch on all levels
You’ve never heard of Glen McGrath then.
Dale has a better average.
Vantheman12 glens a medium pace legend
Dale steyn is the best fast bowler test cricket has seen
Coup de grace sure and agree. McGrath’s a legend. But stats are not everything hence Dale is considered better than Anderson despite more than 150 less wickets. Akram’s the greatest of all time.
Steyn is unbelievably humble. With that record and pedigree he's right up there with Marshall and Akram and yet he's still so self effacing.
Dream chat. I always wanted to hear these two on the same platform
Dale the steyn gun🔥🔥👍🏏, I admire this guy
Both incredible bowlers. No doubt about it. Dale Steyn looked so fired up when he was playing yet on here he's so chill. Jimmy is a legend 🏴
Great interview. Thank you Skysports. Really enjoyed it.
Being a Pakistani, after Wasim and Asif, I love watching James Art of swing bowling.
It's just so sad that this Era bowling is coming to an end💔
Wow after years of being a cricket fans myself and saw how ferocious Dale Steyn was on the field, only now I knew how humble he is in person. You are the man Dale, you have doubled my respect to you 👏👏👏👏👏
"What do you do when it's all in the Batsman's favour Jimmy?"
"Retire from White Ball Cricket" ;)
If anyone feels that Steyn isn't among all time greats, then you should probably watch him bowl on some real turners in India. Nothing on offer for seamers , you'd be lucky if the ball gets upto the waist lol. He got the Indian batting lineup packing back to the pavilion. Impact is something people don't consider when talking about Dale Steyn.
Steyn was no 1 bowler in the world for 6 and half years. I got goosebumps. I remember how dale dominated 2011-2013 playing for Hyderabad in IPL(those OUTSWINGERS!!!!). No way Jimmy can do that outside the Wimbledon ;)
Depends on the era. Anderson is a classic swing bowler but unfortunately he played in an batsmen friendly T20 era where pitches are flat and boundaries are short and bats are of much higher quality. Had he played in the 90s, his away records would have been much better. His fitness and consistency is severely underrated, it is not easy to play Int. Test Cricket for almost 20 years. Anderson's achievements are severely downplayed with critics claiming that he would not be able to do it outside England. Which is true but no other bowler in the world (except Steyn) has been able to do that too. Steyn saying that Anderson is more skilled definitely holds some value. Though I rate Steyn above Anderson, I feel Anderson is not getting the credit he deserves.
Great show! Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Amazing conversaton. Nasser, Dale and Andreson... great guys.
My favourite Steyn gun,just because fitness issues we missed him in 500 + test wickets club. You are true champ Steyn, no one can match your legacy.
Love from Nepal....
Miss you Dale......
Champion
That's called a grt discussion and typical interview to be taken... Grt... I liked it
Loved watching both bowlers. Great interview and fascinating insights. I was never a great swinger of the ball. For me it was about pace and seam. And yet my most memorable wicket was a hooping inswinger that came in and hit the top of middle sending the bail 30 yards back. Whenever I faced a swing bowler the ball just seemed to come on faster, mainly because my brain got tied in knots trying to figure out how to hit it!
I love Steyn. He's just too humble
Yes😀
Dales such a nice bloke, my favourite bowler ever
Jimmy Anderson is still playing. He is incredible. A true legend. Still swinging the ball, taking fivefers, maintaining fitness. It's very difficult to play at age 40 for a fast bowler. Where as dale steyn is my favourite but injures has severely effected his career post 2015. Dale steyn had pace and swing but Anderson relies more on his swing, machine like line and length, immaculate.
Truly said
Jimmy is greatest
My most favourite bowler
