Steyn is Wisden’s leading cricketer of the year - chairman - 04-09-2014
London: Australia paceman Ryan Harris and opening batsman Chris Rogers have been rewarded for their performances in the two recent Ashes series by being included as two of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Year.
They were honoured by the annual publication, often referred to as the bible of cricket, along with England batsman Joe Root, India’s Shikhar Dhawan and Charlotte Edwards, the captain of the England women’s team.
South Africa bowler Dale Steyn was named Wisden’s Leading Cricketer in the World for 2013. “Fast, penetrative and parsimonious, it was some combination,†Wisden said.
The five Cricketers of the Year have been selected since 1889 by Wisden’s editor primarily on their performances in the previous English season.

Dale steyn deserves it. He is always referred to as the best fast bowler on the earth. Almost every batsman fears him and do not want to face him.

Seriously though, well deserved Steynboi, total legend. Always so delightful to watch him bowl in tests. And yeah Ryano does deserve his recognition too, about time
