Steyn's numbers are remarkable. A career Test strike-rate of 43.49 in 82 matches. The only bowler in Test history to have taken a minimum of 30 wickets at a lower strike-rate was Shane Bond (38.7) but his body broke down after just 18 matches. To put together such an extended run of brilliance at such a high level is truly remarkable. A few other notable career strike-rates for some comparison (Waqar Younis (43.4), Tyson (45.4), Marshall (46.7), Donald (47.0), Croft (49.3), Trueman (49.4), Garner (50.8) and Hadlee (50.8).

I am really excited for Jo'burg. This series has been full of entertainment and the crowds have been excellent. Have fun and bring back and England win! To win this series would be a big accomplishment, regardless of how South Africa have fared over the last 12 months.
