Traditional cricket has gone out of the window. It's gone. T20 cricket has changed the game.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I never want to restrict myself and say I'm at my ultimate peak, I'm always looking to take myself to a higher level.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
When you're playing against a team like India you're always going to struggle, especially as they bat all the way down the order to No. 9 and 10.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
Pace is the most important thing. That is the one thing that I have had throughout my whole career.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
If you are playing in the right conditions, there is always motivation to bowl fast. If you are playing in the wrong condition then you want to be a batsman.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I have never gone into a competition wanting to lose. I have always gone in wanting to win.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I don't want a new ball when I am bowling in the subcontinent. I want an old ball that can't get hit out of the ground. I want a ball that when I bowl doesn't have true bounce, so that the batsman can't hit it.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
What inspiration will other fast bowlers have if they don't have anybody to inspire them to become fast bowlers.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
There's so much in favor of batsmen these days. Fields are small, two new balls, powerplays, bats have got bigger than they used to be, the list can go on.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I mean everyone's always spoken about fast bowlers and especially myself as a strike bowler, but I look at myself as somebody who could hold down the runs, you know, over 200 games, I've taken a lot of wickets but I've got a pretty decent economy rate.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
When I made my one-day debut for South Africa I met some of the Aussies for the first time. We lost the game and when I shook the hands of players I just wanted them to look me in the eye and acknowledge I had competed.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
When I first started the biggest thing I wanted was for the opposition to acknowledge me.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
The more 'A' side cricket that can be played, it will keep the fringe of international cricket interested.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
It might sound very cocky or naive of me, or self-centered, but I want to win a World Cup for my country.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
As long as I've got that urge and that fight and fire inside of me I'll continue and records will come and records will be broken. But the day I don't feel that kind of stuff I'm happy to walk away.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I've never been bothered about being the highest wicket-taker in the world or the best South African bowler in the world.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I think the more common players who have been around for a while - Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad - those guys I know of, they're fantastic players.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
It's terrible to consider never playing another Test again but what's more terrifying is the thought of never playing again at all.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
The kind of fishing that I do is pretty much bass, trout or freshwater fishing.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I would love to be in quarantine with someone like Quinny de Kock. He is one of my favourite people in the world.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
Normally if I am on holiday I'll be planning a fishing trip or a surfing trip.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
It's important to get under your opponent's skin and let them know that you are coming for them out in the middle. When you do that, half the battle's won!
Quote by -Dale Steyn
Someone like Shane Warne played the game on and off the field really well and got into guys' heads. Even though he couldn't bounce you and hurt you physically, he was verbally aggressive and would let you know he'd get you out. He made batsmen doubt themselves. I learned from players like him and made a point of incorporating it into my own game.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I don't know what it is about fast bowling. I guess it's the ability to do something that nobody else can really do.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
I come across as quite aggressive and quite in people's faces and everything like that, but I know where to draw the line.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
Generally I don't say too much on the field. However, I am a fast bowler and with that comes the responsibility of saying a word or two and getting in a guy's face.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
That's a beautiful thing about India, they got such a big pool of players to call upon. If somebody gets injured, the replacements are generally pretty good.
Quote by -Dale Steyn
Conditions are always different here in Durban. Especially different from Johannesburg.
