Batsmen are free from fear now!!
What a true champion of his time, @DaleSteyn62 was. On the flattest of wickets, making the ball do things and one of the most feared fast bowlers of his time. Happy Retirement #SteynGun

We will miss this aggressive bowler in the SA Test team!!
He is surely one of the best i have watched. The pace at which he swung the ball made him unplayable. At his peak to see him run in was a terryfying sight as an Indian supporter. You knew an edge was round the corner or the stump might go for a walk. Well bowled @DaleSteyn62

Take a bow, Legend!
One of the greatest of all time @DaleSteyn62 says goodbye to test cricket, a form of the game he adorned and enriched. He was one of the great sights of our game, gliding in, swinging the ball at speed. He has a place in history.
