Dale Steyn has been in lethal form in the last 4 series, and is only getting better.

Only a few ranking points away from taking top spot for best overall bowler on recent form.

he's pretty sharp and has a great attitude for a fast bowler, from what i've seen

It's certainly been a good season for him so far and you'd imagine he'll be looking forward to English bowling conditions in the Summer as well.

Yeah he's a very good fast bowler with good pace, but i don't think he'll get top rank for bowlers, Murali is the best

murali is a great bowler but he's nearing the end of his career. when murali started, i didn't imagine he's claim as many wickets as he has, same goes for steyn... he still has a lot more years ahead of him.

sidebottom of england also impressed me against new zealand, not quick but can move the ball and knows where to put it. saw that ripper outswinger, i think it was martin's off stump that came out of the ground.

he can beat in form bastmen at around 130-135 km even though he bowls 150+

dale steyn ftw! great fast bowler
ishant sharma is going great as well played great against the aussies

 

[C A Iversen]

Anyone know what Steyn's top pace ball has been clocked at?

 

[Steve-o]

He's definitely not in the 157 club.
I'm pretty sure he's only got 150km/h, maybe 151 but I doubt that.
Morne Morkel is faster than him.

EDIT: The fastest i've seen him bowl was 149.8 km/h against the Windies
