Dale Steyn has now drawn level with The Mighty Murali as the best Test bowler in the world. Makhaya Ntini is at number 5 in the list, meaning that statistically South Africa’s Test bowling attack is much better than India’s. Which, on current form, is pretty obvious, really.
In the batting rankings, too, South Africans feature prominently, with Kinky Kallis at number 2, much higher than India’s highest entry at number 12.
Does this mean South Africa are officially better than India? At Test cricket, probably, especially now some of the Indian players might be a little distracted by the large piles of money on offer in the IPL.
The only thing kinky about Kallis is the fact he looks at himself in the mirror during sex, a la Patrick Bateman.
As I recall, Patrick Bateman also liked Genesis and Whitney Houston – that’s pretty depraved if you ask me.
