South Africa's best XI since readmission

Dale Steyn

Breathing fire and spewing venom, Steyn is a throwback to the nasty genuine pace bowlers of the years gone by, hurling deliveries at batsmen at express speeds. What sets Steyn apart is his ability to conjure extravagant movement without spraying his radar one bit. His accuracy is his biggest strength.

Be it with the red ball or white ball, old or new, Steyn is equally effective, possessing the brains to outwit the batsmen when the pitch is not conducive.
