Trent Boult is better than Dale Steyn at the Moment: David Warner

Trent Boult is better than Dale Steyn at the Moment: David Warner: Australia’s dashing opener and Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain David Warner has clarified why New Zealand pacer Trent Boult is preferred ahead of the best bowler in the World Dale Steyn in the ongoing season of IPL. He also lauded Boult and vowed to continue with the Kiwi before turning to the Speedster in the later stages of the tournament.

Trent Boult was the best bowler behind Mitchell Starc in the Wold Cup. The condition suited him here and suited him in the last game. We just feel Trent is just ahead of Dale. We will definitely use Dale in the tournament. At the moment Trent is going fantastic so Dale just misses out.

Warner also appreciated his bowlers for restricting Royal Challengers Bangalore for less than 170 few days back and also admitted that his side bowlers did not bowl well against Chennai Super Kings last week.

The bowling was really good. I felt our bowlers used the conditions well early on to swing the ball. We gave away in the middle overs. Karn Sharma bowled really well and Praveen Kumar did well too. Ravi Bopara got a couple of good wickets. We bowled the right line and length.

Warner further said that his bowlers gave too many extras against CSK and that proved to be crucial in the end.

In Chennai we felt we did not bowl well at the start. We bowled lot of extras. Their bowlers adopted better than what we did. We got smashed. We talked about adapting to conditions as fast as we could. In Chennai we didn’t bowl many slower bowls. Unfortunately we let ourselves down by bowling an extra over with six wides and a couple of no balls especially when Dhoni and McCullum coming at you so hard.
