Can't say I do.

Don't watch to much rugby TBH.

But Dale Steyn is an amazing bowler.

Nice comeback airhead

Feel free to respond to the rest of my previous post or are you still trying to work out your month of January and when the Safa's played New Zealand?

And did you bother to read Johnson's averages against each side ? his only decent average was against New Zealand.

And that is terrific they played two test matches against the West Indies well done good work.

His only series average above 35 was against India.

Don't know why you have it in for Johnson, so far not one person has backed you up. One of the greatest fast bowlers ever has said he will be a "once in a generation bowler", but then again i suppose you know your test cricket because once these batsmen "work him out" or he bowls on a crackless pitch he'll be back playing State cricket.

Also, apparantly you didn't know that Sth Africa played 2 tests against West Indies in 2008 until someone told you haha

so you reckon despite the ball clearly hit a crack that Johnson moved that ball all the way in with a 70 over old ball.

Get real.
