Steyn: Whats with this guy's hype ? He is nowhere as quick or threatening as claimed, I remember a young Shane Bond who last played at the Waca was making the aussie batsmen hop & jump all over the place.. There is a lot of hype about him, he is just seems like a nippy bowler who bowls at 145 kph max speed me feels. From the looks of today it could be a long season for this dude, Mitchell Johnson seems more nippier & quicker than him .... It is all fun breaking heads of Kiwi & Bangladeshi batmen but this is where he has to come to the party...
Morkel: Quite dissappointing, I was predicting him to trouble the batsmen and get a 3 for atleast but he was a big let down. I dont know if he has what it takes mentally to be a great fast bowler like Mcgrath, Donald, Wasim etc. He is not aggressive at all, has an ostrich type run up with a humble face, I think SA have a super quick version of our very own Venky Prasad here...
Ntini: Well he bowled ok but wasnt really all that threatening like expected from him...
Lets see what the Saffie batsmen can do tommozzz.....
Shane Bond he is not. A bit disappointing but the pitch was not anything like the pacer's paradise it was made out to be.
Morkel was good early and late, his middle spells were a bit underwhelming. But you can see why he is in the team, he will be a very dangerous bowler if he gets it together.
