Will be ruing that missed catch of ABdV. Nabi struggling with trying to go big. Should just be looking for singles or get out.

Mohammad Shahzad:

"It doesn't matter which bowler is playing because the wicket is very good, you see," he said "I love playing Dale Steyn because Dale Steyn is not dangerous.

"Morris is very dangerous because he has height and swings the ball. Dale Steyn [has] only pace, so this wicket is good to face a pacer, the ball is coming onto the bat. So no, I am not happy that Dale Steyn is not playing."

His answer was greeted with incredulity and a smattering of applause in the press room, where one journalist was so taken aback by his answer, he asked him to repeat the punchline.

"I said Dale Steyn is not playing and I am not happy," Shahzad responded.

Easy for Shazad to say such things when he is unlikely to face Steyn any time on a green wicket....

As to the bowling attack will judge them after they play on more friendly surfaces. If they get smack at nagpur as well there is serious issues but till now every side has gotten smacked at wankhede.

Yeah, I am sure that he will refuse a chance to play test cricket against SA on a green wicket.

He does have a point, in between the bravado.

Steyn isn't anywhere near as good a LO bowler as he is a test bowler, and his length can sit up nicely for slogs (see: Grant Elliott).

Yup. And that is just a result of how few ODIs he has played. Over a 12 year career he has just played 112 ODIs. That is also a part of the reason he is so good in tests..
