Much of the attention in the IPL is focussed on batsmen and big hits, but in the match against Mumbai Indians on Monday, Dale Steyn's magical spell for Deccan Chargers put some of the spotlight on the bowling (though Rohit Sharma's last-ball six ended up taking the headlines.) On Yahoo Akshay Iyer analyses Steyn's bowling.
Steyn started with a good length delivery; his next ball was outside the off stump; the third was a slower delivery that not only deceived Levi but narrowly missed the off stump; he followed this up with an excellent bouncer; the fifth ball was a short delivery and the last delivery was the sucker punch as a swinging yorker sent Levi's middle stump tumbling over. This is an over that can be watched over and over for its sheer brilliance in setting up a batsman for his dismissal, and should be made a must-watch not only for all aspiring fast bowlers, but also for opposition batsmen.
