South Africa legend Dale Steyn has revealed his dream fast-bowling attack by nominating his five favourite quicks currently in Australia showing their wares at the ICC Men T20World Cup. Steyn was a fearsome fast bowler in his own right and the former South Africa quick produced one of the most memorable moments in T20 World Cup history when he famously defended seven runs off thefinal over during a group match against New Zealand at the 2014 event in Chattogram. But with Steyn now retired and part of the impressive list of commentators at the T20 World Cup Down Under, the 39-year-old has been keeping a close eye on all the action at this year event in Australia. Steyn was asked to select his five favourite fast bowlers plying their trade at the T20 World Cup and it should come as no surprise to see the cricketing great included two South Africa quicks in his list.

Rabada is the leader of the South African attack. I m hoping South Africa can go on and win this World Cup and him doubling up with Anrich Nortje as my other fast bowler from South Africa, I think the two of them in combination are just fantastic, Steyn said. Theyve got great pace, theyve got good skill especially in Australia, Rabada seems to up a level whenever he gets to Australia, so I m looking for that competitive streak to come out of him, and the two of them can go on and help South Africa to win this World Cup. I think he  the first fast bowler to bowl all 24 balls in his spell of four overs over 140 kilometres an hour. He didn t look to bowl one slower ball, he’s just absolutely fantastic. He wants to rush batters, bowls a great yorker and a fantastic bouncer, and I think if England are going to go all the way, Mark Wood’s going to take them there.”
