Top 10 South African bowlers of all time

#1 Dale Steyn

Steyn is arguably South Africa's greatest fast bowler

The fiery, aggressive, intent-driven Dale Steyn or the Phalaborwa Express is arguably South Africa's greatest ever fast bowler. Pace, swing in the air, reverse swing, bounce - Steyn had it all. He was at the peak of the Test rankings for a record 263 weeks ranging from 2008 to 2014.

Steyn got noticed for his eye-catching outswingers which have accounted for quite a few World class batsmen. He took over the mantle of South Africa's leading pace bowler from Shaun Pollock and did admirably well during his time at the top. Constant injuries have prevented him from becoming the highest Test wicket-taker, something well within his sights midway through his career. Currently, he is battling to get back to Test cricket after a lengthy lay-off and if he does, Pollock's 421 wickets will surely be under threat.
