As great as Steyn is as a test bowler, he's never managed to become a great limited overs bowler.

I love New Zealand worms. They're the worms of a competent team but with the first 10 overs cut off.

He usually does well in T20s. Just can't reserve himself enough in the one day format for whatever reason.

Him and Kleinveldt were both fairly rubbish in this match.

Steyn's the kind of bowler who revels in taking wickets and he can't ever be accused of not putting maximum effort into each match. I don't think he has enough variety to be a truly great limited overs bowler at the international stage (although, TBF, that never hurt McGrath).

Like each South African team for the last couple of decades, he has one game plan that he's going to stick to no matter what the circumstances. South African cricket seems to be inherently conservative and that's one of the reasons they can't seem to win an ODI tournament.

Look Closer
It was the umpires fault. I think the Saffers wanted to bowl the last one (at the NZ no. 11) but the umpire had already called over and couldn't uncall it.

gently caress it if you're going to start with taylor, healy and brayshaw i'll just go right to Grandstand

Have a look at that team. It would struggle to win a test match against Bangladesh. Warner is such a cut above the rest of the batting line up its hilarious and Warner is solid but inconsistent at this point in his career.

These Australian t20 teams are to cricket what these good Charlotte guys are to music.
