Reading on cricbuzz.com that Steyn has bowled at an average speed of 143km/h with a top speed of 148km/h.
You're always talking him up, is he going to develop further and bowl 150+?

Isnt he the one who got absolutely spanked in the recent VB series at the Dome. Good player he is.

Yep. Jaques ruined his career in one over.

Steve Elworthy > Steyn.
I think he will one day top 150K, but ATM I'd rather have him focus on line and length, will be a top bowler.

Just one other thing.
Do you think Boje is a international standard spinner? Would you rather him or Botha (If Botha's action became legal)?

Jeez man!! :eek:
That's exactly why i mentioned him. That shot is the only memory of the guy i have. What an innings that was. :thumbsu:

Boje for ODI and Botha for Tests Davey.
Boje is a handy ODI bowler and a pretty good batsman in ODI.
Botha has better turn and drift, still very raw though but I hope he gets cleared, hes a good kid.

his action (which is bloody ******** poor) creates the spin.
if he ever gets it under 15 degrees i doubt he will turn the ball anywhere near as much as he does now.

While Smith is captain, any spinner in SA will struggle. Unless Giles changes nationalities, because that's all that Smith wants out of his spinners. Look at Boje's record balloon in the last few years since he became captain. Nicky used to be a fine attacking spinner. Now he's a wanna be Ashley.
