Dale Steyn Fires Back at Baseball Fan Over Cricket Comparison

When Dale Steyn was an active cricketer, he used to reply with his bowling. And now since he has been retired for a long time and works as a commentator, he still replies to the trolls with ease. Recently, he did the same against a baseball fan, which has started a debate online.

A few hours back, a baseball fan tweeted saying that he has never seen a cricket player do this. In the video, he showcased a baseball player taking a catch from his gloves near the boundary line and throwing it back. The throw was also caught with gloves, and this might have made the cricket fans confused to some extent, whether he was talking about the catch or something else.

However, Dale Steyn could not help out but defend the game which has helped him to make a name. He replied to this tweet by saying,“Do you have to use a glove or is that you just can’t catch barehanded?”This was a brutal reply by Steyn, as he noted the fact that except for the wicket-keeper, no other player takes catches with gloves in cricket.

Our Take

The response made by Dale Steyn was impressive, as all the cricket fans from different countries have come together in his support. Moreover, he noted the fact that baseball players have to wear gloves even while fielding and the cricket players won't have to wear gloves while fielding except a wicket-keeper. His representation of facts showcased how well he is at knowing about the games and also giving the most savage replies.
