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

In reply to db Yeah; i want to know.
In reply to db
You think is only black man alone can bowl pace
In reply to silver
That's just silly
He look like he fling a few yes.
In reply to Bain
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.
You cannot pelt from your wrist
In reply to db
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.
In reply to djdrastic
Maybe if we're lucky, he'll be banned from bowling before we go there
In reply to db
Not a chance son.
Not a chance
In reply to sudden
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.
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.
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.
In reply to Scar
I think its easy to manipulate the wrist without interfering with the elbow. I've never seen Steyn pelting.
Remember Ambrose had a lot of wrist action too.

In reply to DAVE400 Bobolee, seeing is believing.
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...
In reply to BeatDball
Exactly... So reproduce what you see via videos on youtube or elsewhere to give me belief too nah...
In reply to DAVE400 Not all of his deliveries are fuzzy.
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.
In reply to BeatDball
Just one... Cmon
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.
In reply to Scar
I've done it for years while actually bowling.
In reply to Outswinger
then you do not watch him fielding?>
Lee's faster ball was a pelt, Aktar rarely bowled and Steyn does not pelt. If Steyn pelts Ambrose did
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.
In reply to doosra
Good one !
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
In reply to methodic
Glad to see u admit to pelting 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.
In reply to db
Same thing I say too!
