Steyn eager to bowl fast on slow Colombo pitches – Cricket News Roundup – September 25, 2012 – Part 1
South African dynamite, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409, has said that his approach of bowling fast will not take a backseat when his team takes on their opponents in the low, slow tracks of Colombo.
The Proteas contingent qualified for the Super Eight of the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 by convincing margins at Hambantota. Steyn played a key part in both those wins, conceding just 19 runs
in six overs.
The venue for the next round shifts to Colombo, where pitches tend to support slow bowlers. However, the premier pacer is confident of proving his worth to the side by bowling with sheer pace.
"My game is not going to change, I'm still going to bowl 145 kilometres per hour or 150, whatever I can get it up to. whether it's a slow deck or not, it's still going to be tough," he said.

"You'll never know the real calibre of a spinner if you don't give him enough opportunities. Right now the spin cupboard is pretty healthy because there are two spinners (Ashwin and Ojha) who are performing on the field," Kumble said.
