Michael Vaughan in 2004 knows even more how it feels, but Steyn is 10
times the bowler since then.
ScArY
The same Dale Steyn was 32-3-103-4 in Chennai
with only one wicket coming from top order.
One Ahmedabad inning on a helpful pitch doesnt
make a summer.
absolutely... awesome bowler....!!! GO Steyn!
also, generally, when 'the wall' does break up (which is often), it
will be due at an unplayable delivery, unfortunately.
anyways, here is my score prediction for the current test
SA - 1st Innings
589/7 decl
Kallis - 202
AB De Villers, 108
Boucher - 78 NO (in 35 balls)
and some extras....
Indian - 2nd Innings
101 All Out
4 Zeroes
2 10s
3 25s
1 5s
1 1s
thanks and regrds
Sam
If India scores less than 101 in I2 like you predicted I will pay
you $2000 and if India scores more than 101 in I2, you pay
me ONLY $1000.
I am giving you 2-1 favorable odds even though I dont have to.
Do we have a deal desicricfan ?
Look, I can see you're trying really hard to be a good boy with this
'Roshan' character who doesn't swear and call people names, but no matter
the writing style your ridiculous bias and lack of logic always show through
soon enough.
Steyn's Test figures for the 'summer' to which you refer currently stand at
72 wickets at 15.13. Don't flatter yourself that bowling out India on a
helpful pitch yesterday was one of his tougher assignments in that time.
Oh, and get back in the bin where you belong...*plonk*.
Andrew
huh? Roshan = tendulkar.com. Didn't think he swears and calls people
names all that much.
Mohan
Nice boys always finish last, bad boys always get the hot chicks.
> character who doesn't swear and call people names,
It is you who is swearing and calling me names. You
remind me of my neighbor's 4 yr old boy who spits on
everybody and complains he is being spit on by them.
> but no matter
> the writing style your ridiculous bias and lack of logic always show through
> soon enough.
Dale Steyn 32-3-103-4 at Chennai.
His wickets are Dhoni, Kumble, Harbhajan and RP Singh.
None of them are top order batsmen.
Ridiculous bias and lack of logic is in your small mind.
> Steyn's Test figures for the 'summer' to which you refer currently stand at
> 72 wickets at 15.13.
The Context is Dale Steyn vs Indian batting.
4 of his wickets at Chennai were against the bottom order
and 3 of his 5 wickets yesterday RP Singh, Harbhajan
and SreeSanth are bottom order.
Point proved.
> Don't flatter yourself that bowling out India on a

I do not give a damn about his performances vs Pak and Bangladesh.

I think not.

Andrew
Looks like you are right. Apologies to tendulkar.com. In my defense, I
hadn't really followed that thread on Dravid's Chennai innings carefully.
Mohan
Me neither. I see now that Jayen already unmasked him a few days ago.
Andrew
I missed that too, even though I've been reading bits of that thread,
but it was obviously not the Roshan we know and love. That one may be
a nutcase, but he's not a nitwit.
Cheers,
Mike

Mike,
I did not know there is another Roshan on RSC. You seem
to hate all Roshans :0) Wondering if it is because you
can't come up with any reasonable and knowledgeable comments.
Hope you did not miss responding to my comment in this thread.

He has quite a few fifers already.
So this performance just ads to an already great summer
Never have I claimed Dale Steyn is not a good bowler,
not ranked 2nd in current ICC rankings and didnt have
a great summer this year.
He hasn't scared Indian top order batsmen in Chennai
and Ahmedabad I1.
Sure Steyn's delivery to Dravid was a peach but Ntini
got more top order wickets.
I am sure Indian batsmen will handle Steyn better in
Ahmedabad I2.
So what does "One Ahmedabad inning on a helpful pitch doesnt make a summer."
mean?
>
Karl
So when will you learn season periods of different countries ?
Did you ever watch the Indian innings? Other than some early morning
assistance this was not exactly a spiteful track as the South African
score suggests
Shariq,
Ahmedabad pitch has some grass on it compared to Chennai one. No where
have I claimed India were all out because of the spiteful Ahmedabad track.
No one on RSC have convinced me yet with rational arguments why
Indian top order batsmen should fear Dale Steyn.
I hope you don't forget the same Indian top order negotiated Brett Lee
and Shaun Tait well last two months in Australia.
Just keep watching buddy.
I watched 3 innings of Dale Steyn in India.
Sehwag and Co smashed him to smithereens until Steyn
took the last 4 Indian wickets at Chennai, 3 of them
tailenders.
Steyn took only one top order wicket of Dravid at Ahmedabad
I1 and 4 Indian bowlers' wickets.
His delivery that got Dravid was a Jaffa but Dravid misread the
movement.
I would not read too much into Steyns performance in I2 even if
he runs through the Indian top order since Indian batsmen will
be under tremendous amount of pressure of having to bat out
for 2.5 days to force a draw.
The sheer weight of runs and time left will be too much to handle
for Indian batsmen.
Roshan
Who is this "Co" you speak of? Sehwag was a one-man show at Chennai.
> Steyn took only one top order wicket of Dravid at Ahmedabad
> I1 and 4 Indian bowlers' wickets.
So flat-track bully Sehwag is a only a bowler now?
> His delivery that got Dravid was a Jaffa but Dravid misread the

No kidding. He bowls those deliveries quite often.

Yup, there goes the series.
Nitpick
>> Steyn took only one top order wicket of Dravid at Ahmedabad

>
> So flat-track bully Sehwag is a only a bowler now?
Sehwag dragged a ball going a foot outside the offstump
to the stumps. It wasn't a great ball.
Dale Steyn hasn't done anything in India for Indian batsmen
to fear him. They handled Brett Lee well in Australia and
sent the worlds fastest bowler Shaun Tait to see a psychiatrist.
Ponting and Australian media bragged Tait will put fear
in Indian batsmen with his pace.
>> His delivery that got Dravid was a Jaffa but Dravid misread the

Lets see how he does in the second innings.

That is not the point being discussed.
Mohan,
Mike Holmans and Andrew Dunford have problems with subirwa,
skooti, Govandi, Old Roshan, New Roshan, Sampath, Villanova,
Prakash and other posters. Judging by the content of some of their
posts I assume they are all Indian cricket fans.
What is (Raos style) the reasons for their not getting along well
with so many Indian cricket fans, may I know ?
This bloke R Bharat Rao is a funny poster :0)
Maxx,
0.3 Steyn to Sehwag, SIX, what a cracker to start off with... Steyn
pitches it really short, Sehwag swivels and pulls with disdain high over
fine leg
0.5 Steyn to Sehwag, SIX, and another one, he slides on the pads, it
wasn;'t that short but Sehwag got in position early and clipped it high
over fine leg
India 184/4
Dale Steyn 14 0 50 0
There is only one top order Indian batsman Ganguly left.
You need to remind Dale Steyn to hurry up.
Since when is the 2 matches against India the only 2 relevant matches.
He got to No 2 on the rankings before he even got to India.
Look at some of his other games
You didn't understand the context of my comments.

Hope his next ball squashes Smith's nuts.

Andrew is one of the most reasonable posters around here. I don't think
he has a problem with Govandi or old Roshan either.
As for the other poster you mentioned, less said about him the better. I
wouldn't club Andrew with him.
Mohan
Got im!!
No.
ohan,
If Andrew Dunford is a reasonable poster why did he have so
many cricket fans hating him. Does not make any logical sense.
Simple search on rec.sport.cricket shows Andrew Dunford has
problems with all posters. They also prove he is
an arrogant abusive insecure moron.
It is clear lot of cricket fans on rec.sport.cricket hates
