Of course overshadowed by the second innings collapse but Clarke's 151, on that deck, against that attack. One of the great unknown test innings. Bloody hell Dale Steyn was a pleasure to watch. Even for an Aussie like myself.
@@monashmofo314I watched this series Australia lost this test I think in second innings they got out for 88 or 68 if I remember correctly and after this Australia wins the test where Cummins take them to Glory
I have not watched Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillee. I imagine it was a bit like this. Steyn is the symbol of a bygone era and the last of the great fast bowlers who terrorized batsmen.
@@zebesiv is that true though? Cummins, as good as he is, evokes discomfort, not terror. Its his guile and cunning that makes batsmen wary of them. Bumrah is the same. I imagine from my time it would be like facing Pollock, Vaas or Mcgrath. Even the premier speedster of that time, Brett Lee, didn't inspire fear. Shane Bond could've but he didn't last long enough for us to see. Mitchell Johnson did, but only towards the end of his career.
@@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.
I would still remember When everyone fears aussies. Steyn fears aussies. He has mastered the aussies downfall from their prime days. That is steyn gun for you 🔥 🔥

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.

Very good primary playing 11 and great reserves as well Drs has gladly changed cricket for the better. Thank you aussies and india
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.
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.
I hope that this Dale Steyn video inspires Cricket administrators to schedule more Test matches in the Cricket season . Nowadays, many teams are only playing a two test series instead of three .
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 ♥️
Well even statistically, he's a monster..439 test wickets, avg 22.95 at a strike rate of 42.3 and imporantly his stats hold up in all conditions including Asia..Yes he won't be playing until his 60s like Jimmy Anderson but while he was playing, he was comfortably the best fast bowler...Anderson has ridiculous longevity but is not in the highest tier of bowlers..That includes like likes of Mcgrath,Akram,Malcolm Marshall,Ambrose and Steyn
I think alongside Steyn Mohammad Amir and shane bond are also bowlers who swing the ball at speed of 140+ these three are best bowlers for me especially shane bond is very underatted
Michael Clarke🇦🇺 Smashed a 150 in this innings, later absolutely thrashing the hell out of Dale Steyn. Those that didn't watch live, check out Michael Clarke's 100 at Cape Town 2011.
What a bowler ! He was the last pace bowler who could literally get batsmen out at will . Haven’t seen anyone as good as him when it comes to accuracy besides James Anderson.
100% Competiter ! The only way I could think of improving him would be if he was born in Australia and teaming with Mitch Johnson etc. ! Huge respect from this Aussie !😎👍
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!

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.
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.
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.
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
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
3:02 if an Australian did that Mike Haysman would whinge about it for the rest of the test. Also, Michael Clarke was clearly the best test batsman in the world from mid 2011 to mid 2013. Carried an Australian side that was battling to be honest.
5:21 Perfection with the old ball to the world #1 at the time on 80. Bowled beautifully in this innings. Clarke weathered the storm so well. Great knock. That first ball that got Watson was a peach. Only a number 11 could middle that one. Fantastic test cricket.

Richie Benaud and Tony Greg were the best

His Aggression, Confidence, Celebration is incredible one of the finest dominate bowler of world Cricket one and only Stane Gun....
True but clarke's innings should be applauded as well, he scored runs despite steyn's domination.
My favorite bowler
Shows how well Clarke batted having to deal with this sort of bowling. His ability under pressure was underrated.
Bowling and that aggression! Steyn was a menace in his prime
He's not underrated people just don't like Clarke, that's why hardly anyone mentions him
What a ridiculous comment, in the sense that you haven’t fully appreciated Dale Steyn for the wonderful fast bowler he was.
His bowling was poetry in motion
Donald and Steyn - 2 awesome fast bowlers I had the privilege to see play. Steyn was a bloody terror!
Certainly, Clarke was a tough guy. He was scoring with almost 90 strike rate in that green hell. Gotta give him credit too
Scored 151 that day
One of the great Test innings. He made 151
Of course overshadowed by the second innings collapse but Clarke's 151, on that deck, against that attack. One of the great unknown test innings.

That's how cricket was used to played by South Africa back then .
