*Official* 'The Big One 2' - Zimbabwe Tour of South Africa 2018

Even after this knock, I don't think Steyn should bat above Rabada. Morris is a much better hitter than both - incomparable really. If Steyn plays, that will be due to his bowling.

Yeah, that wasn't meant as a serious comment. Unless Steyn has somehow undergone a complete transformation as a cricketer, he's never going to be selected for his batting.

I think that there is very little possibility of Dale Steyn being picked for his batting.

"That wasn't me." - Dale Steyn

 

[Pup Clarke]

That straight six was glorious. Seriously good cricket shot

 

[SeamUp]

Dale 145kph rearing up off a crack. Then again. 3rd one scoots. Good luck.

 

[Stefan9]

Impressive start from steyn so far.

 

[SeamUp]

**** pitches in SA becoming common occurrence.

We used to have the perfect balance for both formats.

 

[stumpski]

Oh well … as I said, 130 would have been a fun chase to watch. Hard to see them even getting that now.

 

[Stefan9]

Great to see Tahir get a hattrick.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What next for Zimbabwe? This was something. Sound thrashing

 

[Bolo]

Love that comment from Steyn in the presentation when asked about the conditions- 'it's always a bit tough for me when I bat'.

He's the only player I've ever enjoyed seeing in post match interviews. He speaks so frankly when everyone else seems to give scripted responses.

 

[SeamUp]

Some crazy stats

South Africa's record-winning streak, Tahir's hat-trick, and Steyn's maiden fifty - ESPNcricinfo

What is ailing Aiden Markram in ODIs?

So underwhelming thus far.

 

[MagicPoopShovel]

A bit disappointed in Hendricks as well, thought this might be the ideal series to ton up again

Haven't seen any of the cricket..were the pitches difficult to bat on or something?

When I saw Steyn got man of the match I was surprised to see he only took 2 wickets and Tahir had 6. Then I checked South Africa's batting

 

[jimmy101]

Hats off to Tahir who seemed to be in beast mode last night. Hard to stay positive about Zim's batting here, but yet again their bowlers have kept it tight.

First time I saw Jonker play, he looks alright.

 

[TheJediBrah]

SA doing an India an sending a second string side to play the minnows. Never heard of half the guys in that team.

 

[SeamUp]

What a sight

 

[SeamUp]

Nice and all but I hope he is back for 2nd round of 4-day comp and doesn't stay for T20s #Breetzke

Faf took them for a quick whizz around his wine company last night.
