What are you saying 'nah' to?Nah, Steyn, I'd go for in tests, but I'd have Bond in my ODI team for the simple reason that he played a lot more ODIs and was easily the better bowler in the format.

The "because you'd obviously have Steyn in your team for the simple reason that he can stay fit." bit.What are you saying 'nah' to?
Right, got ya.The "because you'd obviously have Steyn in your team for the simple reason that he can stay fit." bit.
He will not be among the greatest bowlers in terms of stats as in southafrica fast bowlers are made to retire early.Also i will pick steyn over bond due to fitness,heart,outswing.Both had huge potential. I'm not denying that Bond could have been one of the greatest bowlers of all-time, he sure could have been. But Steyn might actually be one of the greatest bowlers of all time, when he ends his career.
AD played until he was 34 and Polly played test cricket until he was 35. If Steyn goes that long he will end up with comfortably 400+ test wickets.He will not be among the greatest bowlers in terms of stats as in southafrica fast bowlers are made to retire early.Also i will pick steyn over bond due to fitness,heart,outswing.
Whatever you said is more true with Steyn than Bond, IMO.Tough comparison indeed, i guess i would go for Bond........fast, aggressive, in your face type...just has the personality to top it off with his killer bowling...
Steyn is not half as aggressive looking as Bond. Steyn has the tendency to go up to the players and sledge or when he gets out spit on others...but not like Bond. Bond is a solid character.Whatever you said is more true with Steyn than Bond, IMO.

not true. Steyn's more aggressive, more in-your-face, better stamina, smoother actions etc. There was one incident where he spit in front of a player. You make it sound like he spat on lot of players.Steyn is not half as aggressive looking as Bond.

Better stamina? Sure Bond got injured a lot, but his fitness was top notch.not true. Steyn's more aggressive, more in-your-face, better stamina, smoother actions etc. There was one incident where he spit in front of a player. You make it sound like he spat on lot of players.

This.Better stamina? Sure Bond got injured a lot, but his fitness was top notch.
Bond, IMO had one of the greatest actions of all time, unfortunately his body was unable to cope.
Would prefer to watch Steyn. Not much fun watching a brittle man trying to keep himself in one piece.So many people didn't read the first post.
