“I don't want a new ball when I am bowling in the subcontinent. I want ...” — Dale Steyn Quote

“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.”

“I used to be grumpy. I am no more. I am old now. See my grey beards.”

“I want to keep experimenting and trying to change my game.”

“I did it in pre-season when we had a bounce game, I went in for a slide tackle and my back was in pain, so I came off. I had a scan a couple of days later and it showed that up. I was worried as there was a little fracture in my back but the physio said I'd be fine and he put my mind at ease. I had two weeks off and was told to do nothing.”

“You have to create a habit of finding the right positions and knowing where the ball's going to bounce to.”

“I don't want to sound like a dictator but I don't seek too much opinion from players. That's not to say I won't bounce things off them. But they are looking for you to lead.”
