Consistently dismissed ? He's played 11 test matches. He failed to take a wicket against Australia, doesn't have amazing figures against India and only played 1 Test against England. He got Pietersen out 4 times in 7 innings, which tbh is what you'd expect from a strike bowler, i'd be pretty surprised if it wasn't a strike bowler who consistently got out the top players, thats their job. As for your ludicrous claim that Steyn is an oppurtunist bowler, he 16 wickets in 3 tests against England, 21 wickets at 19 against India, 8 wickets in 2 tests in Sri Lanka, and he has 74 wickets at 21 in South Africa.
Also, you claim Asif has dismissed better batsmen, Steyn's dismissed:
McCullum (4)
Styris (4)
Sehwag (3)
Oram (3)
Samuels (3)
Fleming (2)
Ganguly (2)
Vettori (2)
Trescothick (2)
Dravid (1)
Jaffer (1)
Chanderpaul (1)
Vaughan (1)
Younis Khan (1)
Laxman (1)
Dhoni (1)
Bravo (1)
Yousuf (1)
That is a long list of fantastic players, and I could have included more. Steyn's a far more proven bowler and has been South Africa's stand out player, which is impressive considering he's played in a team that included the likes of Pollock, Ntini, Smith, Kallis etc. I'm not doubting Asif's talent, as he is a fantastic bowler, but in his 11 match test career his figures don't match up to Steyn's. I'd certainly rather have a bowling attack of Steyn, Lee and Sidebottom, and not include Asif. His career is as good as over, he's a moron, he takes and smuggles illegal drugs. I think we should be discussing players who are still playing, and playing within the rules of the game, Steyn certainly isn't pumped full of performance enhancing drugs.
