When will they call Steyn

And don't tell me it's all wrist action. He pelt some deliveries. Hope this is an equal opportunity crack down.

 
BeatDball 2014-09-29 21:36:23 

In reply to db Yeah; i want to know.

i said that 3 or so years ago.

All wrist.

I watching cricket long time.

Whenever the topic comes up about Steyn, I always and will say again, Steyn pelt some. The difference between Steyn and others pelters is that the others are blatant with it and are not able most times to be effective without pelting.

 
sudden 2014-09-30 09:49:36 

You cannot pelt from your wrist

He pelts strategically, no biggie. Even Walsh use to chuck his quicker one.

Can't wait for more gem threads like these when the tour of South Africa starts.

Maybe if we're lucky, he'll be banned from bowling before we go there

Not a chance son.


Not a chance

That is the problem. You all scrutinizing his wrist and not the flexing of the elbow.

A clever trick of planting that seed of wrist action long ago that has duped so many.

 
sudden 2014-09-30 17:00:00 

In reply to archangel

you are incorrect. from what i have seen of Steyn, some in slow motion, he uses his wrist whilst maintaining his elbow position. because of this in real time it appears as though he is pelting. maybe he pelts some but i have never seen that.

 
Scar 2014-09-30 20:30:10 

That wrust action explanation seems a bit difficult to perform at such speed to be clean. Someone try bowking fast with a cocked wrist and straight arm or straight arm and then wrist flick and tell us if it is feasibly clean. No discomfort or stress on the elbows wrist, muscles etc.

 
methodic 2014-09-30 20:58:59 

In reply to Scar

I think its easy to manipulate the wrist without interfering with the elbow. I've never seen Steyn pelting.

 
sudden 2014-09-30 21:15:30 

Remember Ambrose had a lot of wrist action too.

DAVE400 2014-09-30 21:53:30 

In reply to Scar

Good point...physically... It is impossible to manipulate wrist at that speec without Some elbow flexion.... ( prolly genesis of fifteen degree stipulation) Steyn's elbow never has visible bend in slow mo...

 
DAVE400 2014-09-30 21:55:15 

In reply to BeatDball

Exactly... So reproduce what you see via videos on youtube or elsewhere to give me belief too nah...

 
BeatDball 2014-09-30 21:59:36 

In reply to DAVE400 Not all of his deliveries are fuzzy.

 
archangel 2014-10-01 06:41:12 

In reply to BeatDball

Like I have said, he does it when he feels like it. Not easy to pick up unless you watching ball by ball. It really isn't a biggie though cause it it the same way fast bowlers in the past slip one in every now and then.

 
DAVE400 2014-10-01 07:47:41 

In reply to BeatDball

Just one... Cmon

 
Scar 2014-10-01 14:32:28 

In reply to methodic Are u nuts!! Try it now in slow mo' there is flex or else stress on joints eyc becomes a factor. You will tear something if you do so without a slight bend at that pace/arm swing. Rotattor cuff probs and elbow chips in bball come from wrist action/changes in mid armswing and dem does do real pelt. I am not surprised Steyn and Lee and Aktar and Flingtoff have had elbow and shoulder injuries quite a bit in theur careers. The fact that they opted for only limited overs where they can bowl those a bit more fir only 4 or10 overs says it all.

In reply to db

I never saw him throw.

 
methodic 2014-10-01 19:52:53 

In reply to Scar

I've done it for years while actually bowling.

 
doosra 2014-10-02 07:22:40 

In reply to Outswinger

then you do not watch him fielding?>

 
sudden 2014-10-02 09:35:05 

Lee's faster ball was a pelt, Aktar rarely bowled and Steyn does not pelt. If Steyn pelts Ambrose did

 
BeatDball 2014-10-02 10:09:24 

In reply to sudden Im sure aktar pelted out jawardene few world cups ago, but that just me! Somebloody run guh get a footage N lewwe see! Who is good at those shoitz? Pleez get it sah.

 
Outswinger 2014-10-02 14:39:07 

In reply to doosra

Good one !

 
Scar 2014-10-02 15:00:55 

On of the things said about Muli is that his arm could not straighten yey when he was fielding I dee some straight arms stretch out big grin

 
Scar 2014-10-02 15:04:56 

In reply to methodic

Glad to see u admit to pelting big grin I us physically impossible to jeep a straight elbow and inner cocked wrist and bowl at 90mph and I mean Holding straight. Even googlies cause a slight bend and thats outer cock of the wrist slowly bowled.
