Among recognized batsmen, these are the five Individuals Steyn has dismissed the most. Not entirely sure, why everyone only remembers Hafeez though? These individuals were much more accomplished Batsmen than Hafeez and even they couldn't handle Steyn.

Surprised to see Sehwag's average against Steyn. Wasn't Steyn playing when he hit the fastest 300?
 
Nice thread.


Steyn waa undoubtedly World Number 1 ranked Pacer at that time and absolutely deadly on pitches which assisted pacers so Clark, Trott and Hussey did exceptionally well by averaging 26, 26 and 29.


I am not sure about Sehwag tbh. There is a strong possibility of Steyn dismissing him cheaply mostly in Sehwag's decline years. Even if it's not true than Sehwag was a player who relied totally on hand eye coordination so I wouldn't be surprised if Steyn dismissed him cheaply mostly in SA with his banana outswingers getting static Sehwag's outside edges.



Most embarassing indeed is Mohammad Hafeez. It was sharamnaak (embarassing) to see him fall to steyn over and over again. Those were Hafeez's peak years as a batsman and that average of 8.75 is too poor but still helped with some runs in UAE it seems.
 
Sehwag averages 50 in Test matches he played with Steyn in the opposition, hit 3 100s including a 300! Basically it was a 100 or out
 
Sehwag was made to look like a tail-ender in 2006 SA series and he didn't do well in 2011 SA series as well. He was exceptional at home though.

Clarke doesn't deserve to be here. His 151 & 161 vs SA in SA are his memorable innings.

I guess how the OP has gone about it is that he has taken the average of the innings in which Steyn has dismissed these batsmen. So if I hit a 100* against Steyn in the first innings and a 5 (dismissed by him) in the second, I am his bunny as I average 5 against him when he's dismissed me. Strange and flawed logic, if this is the case.

numbers are from here: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...ate=results;type=bowling;view=batsman_summary

its h2h numbers bowler v batsman
 
Those number of wickets could increase after the SA test series, if Rabada doesn't snare Hafeez first.
 
Most surprising stat is that Hafeez survived one match against Steyn.
 
BreadPakoda said:
In that case, matches per dismissal along with overall average against SA would make more sense in my opinion.

those are bowler stats. They need to be looked at from a bowlers perspective and not from the batsmans perspective

The average is misleading because it only takes those runs when someone has been out against that bowler. So Sehwags 300 wont be counted

[MENTION=3327]Indiafan[/MENTION] - that's what I thought as well.
 
Hafeez is the Bugs Bunny of all these bunnies as he's the most well known.

He will what's up doc his way to South Africa in a few weeks and hopefully hang his boots after facing an aged, fragile and injury prone Steyn. Then again, this is his best chance to capitalize against Steyn.
 
Average is misleading because it doesn't take into account those innings when the batsmen didn't get out to the particular bowler. In such a scenario openers (top order basically) vs opening quicks battle will more often than not be lopsided, simple logic. ABDV, Strauss, YK have sub 15 averages against Zaheer with this criterion on statsguru but from memory these guys have got plenty of runs against him.

Lol. This cracked.me up. The 5.0 has poorer reflexes now. He will be on the flight to SA though coz of "Experience".
 
Sidilicious said:
Does this also include the matches in which the batsman did not get out to the bowler in question?
Click to expand...

It doesnt. Because Sehwag made a lot of runs against Steyn in India ( eg: triple in Chennai Test 2008 ) and that test match doesnt show up if you click on the filter at the end of the line for Sehwag in that page. So yes it is a bit of a meaningless stat

So the only way to know how many runs Sehwag scored in matches involving Steyn ( NOT off the bowling of Steyn ) is this : http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...r_involve=47154;template=results;type=batting

He should dropped permanently either before or after the sa tour. we are too impatient with youngsters i am sure he would be called again if anyone fails in sa

Now, I am relieved that Hafeez will be taken to SAF ....

These statistical anomalies normalize over the time - MoHa has possible 14 innings in SAF and I am sure before WC, Styen will play at least 4 ODIs - that's 10 innings. Just like Kohli fixed his stats in UK this year, Hafeez will also fix these numbers.
 
As others have pointed, I am not sure if OP's stats are correct. I recall Sehwag making triple ton and two more ton when Steyn was bowling from other side.

Clarke also has runs when Steyn bowled.

Basically this particular stat from statsguru calculates the averages in the innings where the person was dismissed.

So if Hafeez made 50 and got out to Steyn, it will show it as an average of 50, even if 10 of those runs came against Steyn. So no head to head type statistic involved here in essence, besides the number of dismissals.

Thanks. Now this stats make sense.
 
This average is inaccurate, it doesn't factor how many runs Sehwag scored against Steyn overall, just what was Sehwag's overall runs when he got dismissed by Steyn.

It's completely useless, sadly.

Lol Rabada may not open the bowling. If Steyn doesn't get Hafeez I'm sure Philander will get him. They can play Philander at 7 and include Ngidi as well :)) .

No running for the professer.
 
This is completely nonsense.

The statistics compiled are only for innings in which the bowler dismissed the batsmen. For instance, look at the Nagpur test match for Sehwag (Test #1951, 6th of February 2010).

In the second innings, Dale bowled to Sehwag, and while Dale took 7 wickets, none of those were Sehwag's. In that innings, Sehwag scored a century. However, India were forced to follow on, and in the third innings, Sehwag scored 16 runs before being dismissed by Dale Steyn.

The statistics simply list 16 runs for Sehwag against Steyn for this match.

I am confident that while Steyn has dismissed Sehwag numerous times, he has not had the upper hand. In fact, i would venture as far as to argue that Indian batsmen: Tendulkar, Sehwag, Laxman, and Dravid have managed to play Steyn rather well.

Hafeez right behind his neighbour who doesn't even play professionally :)))

How much more humiliation can Pakistan take?
 
Don't know why this is so humiliating, Steyn is a legend and getting out to a legend multiple times is not a disgrace
