Who was one batter Dale Steyn felt bad bowling bouncers to?

And who'd win in a staring contest between him and Virat Kohli? Steyn talks surfing, skateboarding, and a team-mate he could totally see on Love Island

[@RkSaha-gh5jv]

@@shikhargovil9579 can still get farewell as he is not retired from odi and t20s yet. Sa board needs to think about this.

[@shikhargovil9579]

@@RkSaha-gh5jv injuries depend on a lot of things. sometimes even the conditions you bowl in have an impact, express pace bowlers are always more injury prone than medium pace bowlers. you are right about genetics part. some bodies are fragile irrespective of whatever training you do but obviously steyn was not that fragile as he managed to play around 93 tests and many white ball games. the problem which happened with steyn was and is gonna be that even though he does swing the ball but it's his pace which is the main weapon. sometimes he swings the ball at high pace also. and after all his shoulder issues, his pace is gone. so even though he has'nt retired from t20s and ODIs, he kind of knows from inside that he is no more what he used to be. unoficially he is retired and it's just a matter of time that when he makes it official.

I had the joy of watching him bowl against England in his prime. Absolutely tore through the lineup. He was so fast and skiddy it was ridiculous.

That's not a fact. He is definitely one of the best but there have been better bowlers before. Malcolm Marshall, Richard Hadlee, McGrath, Jeff Thompson etc.

[@smartsquirrel1]

@@vaayman7770 Greatness is subjective. Also it's difficult to compare eras. Very hard to say if Hadlee etc. would have performed against modern batsmen with their modern safety gear, superior bats and shorter boundaries. That being said even despite the huge advantage modern batsmen have, Steyn has been one of the quickest (if not the quickest) to many bowling milestones.
