Watch: Dale Steyn overrule Aussies with reverse swing: Dale Steyn is the pace-pack leader of the South African cricket team, but it is not just the pace that makes him deadly it is his precision along with aggression and his ability to move the ball away from the right handers at regular intervals and the reverse swings that makes him lethal. The following balls that get Steyn wickets are one fine example of his bowling capabilities. He swings the ball to surprise the Australian batsmen and earn 3 match- winning wickets with reverse swinging deliveries for the Proteas.
The first wicket comes off when Steyn got the better of Aussie opener Aaron Finch who tried to hit him through, only to find his middle stump uprooted. It was an inswinger, which shaped back in sharply and Finch could never cover the line of that ball and Steyn knocked him over with a beauty. Australia lost their 4th wicket at the score of 115/3 when Finch departed at a crucial stage scoring 54 runs.
The next wicket fell in the form of Glenn Maxwell in the same over reducing the side to the score of 115/5 as Dale Steyn bowled another beauty that pitched in line and Maxwell was hurried on to it, could not cover line of the ball and it met his pads plumb in front and the umpire in almost reflexive action raised his finger. Probably the fastest swing bowler in the world today; Steyn is someone who carries on the legacy of reverse swing established by legends like Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram.
Steyn bowled the third splendor to the Australian wicket-keeper Brad Haddin. Reverse swing with pace is the deadliest combination, not at all easy to control and deliver; Steyn has although mastered the art too well, Haddin unsure till the last moment fails the play the delivery on time and gives Steyn Gun his third wicket.
