Rewind: Steyn turns batsman at the MCG

Relive the heroics of Dale Steyn during the second Test match against Australia at the MCG in 2008 when he helped the Proteas out of trouble with a defiant half-century.

Steyn came in with the Proteas on 251-8 but, together with JP Duminy, the pair delivered a famous and game-changing 180-run partnership, which swung momentum into South Africa’s favour.

The fast-bowler would eventually depart for his highest score ever, 76, as South Africa cruised to a historic series win on Australian soil.
