Top 5 leading wicket takers for South Africa in Test cricket

2. Dale Steyn 393 Wickets

Dale Steyn is tall; he is well structured and in fact destined to be a fast bowler. The strong shoulders and arms that he sports give him the extra mileage to bowl quicker and with more accuracy than most in world cricket. In the present scenario it is extremely difficult to find a bowler better than Steyn though some could be termed equivalent. His ability to move the ball added with his accuracy and pace has proved to be the most lethal element in his favor as he is writing new success stories in South African cricket history. Just yesterday against the West Indies Steyn went past the second leading wicket takers record by Ntini and is at the 2nd position now with 393 wickets in 73 test matches looks good to become the all-time best shortly.
