Cricket personalities vast and varied paid tribute to fast bowler Dale Steyn on Wednesday, after he became South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in Test cricket on day one of the series opener against Pakistan at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
Didn’t waste much time getting to 422 test poles this morning. @7polly7 will be proud there’s no doubt. I asked @DaleSteyn62 if he would love 500 test wickets and he said..Not sure if my body would allow it? Well you look fit, strong and motivated pal so let’s do this? pic.twitter.com/3PQnesb8Ov
