Is Dale Steyn finished?

[Furball]

OMG he hasn't performed in 2 Tests, DROP HIM!!!!1

 

[GuyFromLancs]

2 tests is a drought for that lad. He's that good!

(i wouldn't drop him btw)

 

[indiaholic]

Terminal decline. Time to retire before the selectors give him the nudge. Should retire after the first innings and refuse to bowl in the second.

[flibbertyjibber]

Finished his tea I suppose. Wonder if he had a clean plate?

 

[centurymaker]

Should retire alongside Kallis before he embarrasses himself and just start focusing on the world cup as well

 

[Manee]

There was a bizarre Cricinfo video saying that Steyn has slowed down too much now and then they showed, as evidence, a graphic of Mitchell Johnson's average speed at 91mph and slow Steyn trailing at a medium paced 88mph - really odd.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha.

 

[MW1304]

Steyn in this series has bowled more quickly more consistently than I've seen in a while. Trouble is he's been frustrated, banging the ball in the pitch with less thought towards accuracy/plan.

 

[Jono]

I will back Steyn until he gets hit for 28 runs in one over off a non-test class batsman like George Bailey.

 

[Riggins]

he's no peter george that's for sure.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He must have seen this thread and this is his response.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nah, this is just a false dawn. The guy's finished fosho

 

[MyLord]

Now that Steyn has managed to get a wicket or two, It means that he is an automatic selection into the South African team for the second innings. He's just another Ishant Sharma in the making.

 

[Maximas]

yep, his elbow is sore

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane's helmet disagrees with the topic

 

[silentstriker]

He should retire in between innings IMO.

 

[MyLord]

He should retire in between innings IMO.

I concur, go out on high.
That would also one up swan who merely retired mid-series.

 

[fredfertang]

I certainly think he's finished getting better, and not before time tbh

 

[silentstriker]

Ya can he retire already plz?
