Dale Steyn happy to play the secondary role to Morne Morkel and Lonwabo Tsotsobe – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LL-Tsotsobe-c1842 take the spotlight in the One-Day Internationals.
The speedster is determined to bowl the same way as he has been doing, and he knows that wickets will eventually come his way.
Steyn said, “If Morne is picking up five wickets and Lopsy is picking up wickets, I'm not going to moan. I'm happy. I know if I just keep doing this somewhere along the line I will get a performance that comes my way.”
The 28-year-old pacer was the lone strike bowler for South Africa in recent times but with the emergence of a number of bowlers who are equally impressive, Steyn has divided the workload.
The right-arm pacer, who is more effective in the longest format of the game, is ranked as the number one bowler in Tests but Morkel and Tsotsobe are ranked higher than Steyn in ODI’s. Tsotsobe is placed second while Morkel is positioned
at fourth, as opposed to Steyn, who is at No. 16.
Steyn has not done much wrong, but it is the bowling of Tsotsobe and Morkel that outshine his efforts. In the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand, the pacer has taken two wickets from two games; however, he has been quite economical,
conceding 37 runs in each of those matches.
Steyn believes he is just unlucky not to get wickets, as he has deceived the batsmen on numerous occasions. He said, “AB wants to me to strike all the time and that's what's I am doing. I am trying. I haven't found the edge. I've gone
past the bat countless number of times in the last two games. I've gone back and watched my performances and said where can I make it better? But when you are getting 1 for 37 in a one-day game, there's not much to complain about.”
