5:55 - the background of someone going "yes yes" just means the batsman has fallen into the trap - driving at every ball relentlessly, wants to feel bat on ball, bowler pitches it up with some away swing and gets the catch. Absolute master...

Dale steyn the bowler, Watson the batsman, kallis the catcher, Boucher the keeper Smith in fist slip, Shane warne and Robin Jackman the commentators....The best combination altogether to watch game of cricket..Miss that era

@@abhijiththampi Oh I see what you mean now. I think placing Bumrah and Cummins in the same basket as McGrath and Pollock is a bit unfair. Both are 10kph quicker on average and both are better rounded, as in they both can do a bit of what Lillee and Thompson did, as well as a bit of what McGrath, Anderson, Hadlee etc did in smaller doses. There's actually several phenomena that leads to there not being as many such bowlers. Batsmen seem to have better reflexes and bowlers probably don't see the point in express pace anymore since it's too injurious (also 120-130kph medium pacers have also all but disappeared from the game as well). But to say that there can't be other fast bowlers like Lilee, Thompson etc is unfair. The game ebbs and flows over the decades. Test cricket has been dying for 70 years now and will continue to die for the next 200.

Seems to be the famous newlands test of 2011 which witnessed 26 wickets falling on day 2, and the seamers of south africa creating carnage on australia.

0:39 look at the speed 🔥🔥 He is swinging the ball with 140+ km/hrs no batsmen wanted to face him.

Nobody, I repeat, Nobody can match the energy levels of Dale Steyn in his prime time. So many lethal spells.

His quality is unmatachable, absolutely jem

Woh, Woh Woh, Steyn's firing bullets. His raw aggression made the competition even more fierce. A true legend. There will never be one like him again.

thats the epitome of fast bowling.the aura of a proper fast bowler..those eyes..shivering...the sprint and that late outswing over 140 kmph..goodness me..is there any better sight in fast bowling....

Show me a spell of this quality by any bowler in the last few years. This is TEST cricket such intensity. True greatness on every surface on every continent. Just unmatched.

No other fast bowler can come up at the batsman and keep coming even in the toughest conditions Reverse swinging at 145KPH+ He’s the world’s best fast bowler, yes the stats will say something else compared to other bowlers, but He Remains Unique, one of a Kind ♥️

Styen is the greatest bowler because having average of 22.95 and 439 wickets in test and 25.95 and 196 wickets in one day that too when cricket become one sided batsman friendly with rules favoring batsman. This is great achievement for any bowler in this era.

I am seriously missing this man bowling..

Dale Steyn greatest pace bowler ever 🎉🎉🎉that's the truth❤❤

For me he is the best fast bowler of this era

Absolute Legend.....No doubt about that....... Carry No. 1 ranking for 6 years not a joke. He is still number one bowler for many Cricketer especially in test cricket. Aggression, dedication and Team spirit everything he has. We loved Dale after ABD.

SA has produced some of the greatest fast bowlers that cricket has ever seen. In the lights of Donald, Shultz, De Villers, Morkel to name a few. And in my books Steyn is on the the top 3 from any list of top fast bowlers.

Dale Steyn on of the best fast bowling in South Africa 😙

His short ball is as lethal as the ball in front ! Wow

Amazing videos it got me feeling like i was watching live

Clarke was simply incredible in this series though.

One of the series that made me fall in love with cricket

Dale steyn looks like an Hollywood hero 🎉❤😢😮😅

Dale Steyn was world class in his day.

What a class act and likable guy he is 👍

I really liked watching Steyn bowling.

He was so good at varying his pace, knowing the perfect time to drop it back and allow the ball to swing then cranking it up when he needed to.

The actual accuracy of the speed gun aside, bowling 148km/h at sea level is quite something. That’s in the 150’s at altitude. Factor in the ridiculous amount of movement he was getting and that’s not something you want to face too many times in your cricket career. For a shortish fast bowler, he generated incredible pace. Blessed with them fast twitch muscle fibres!

Beautiful smooth action. I my self was effective against batters with this action. Close to the stumps makes you more threatening because he was able to ball those out swingers to rhb with very little space for batters and with enough pace to back his swing and line he bowled he became an extraordinary bowler.

Absolutely brilliant bowling

Wow.. That's Steyn gun of afrika... Loved it

Where have this fierce aggression and competitiveness gone in current test teams ? Everyone is too friendly now a days .

Though this video is about Steyn look at Clark's score and strike rate. He had shut Steyn'e loudmouth for sure.

Gem....... One of the best bowler of all time. End of an era

Love this idea of fast bowler dominating batsman making his life hell on the pitch I agree there should be even contest between bat and ball but more factors play role in that

Such a beauty with action swing and pace

But Michael Clarke with a masterclass after that.

Lejjend bowler mis you dale steyn🥰

Steyn sledzing clarke But keep silent clarke great 🍥

Greatest of all time

That ball to S.Marsh was missing. Missing off, missing leg and going on to destroy middle. Steyn would fit in perfectly with the bowling attack of Holding, Roberts, Marshall and Garner. Fast and nasty. Perfect test bowling

Steyn did bowl with fire and agression.. but kuddos to Clarke he was in for some chin music but he counter attached and was not out till the end of the video
