Dale Steyn's Injury

I WON'T BE FIT TO FACE AUSTRALIA  AT NEWLANDS

Proteas fastest bowler Dale Steyn  on friday ruled himself out of the third test with Australia, paving a way for Morne Morkel to replace a suspended Kagiso Rabada. Dale Steyn is suffering from heel injury and told South African media that he won't be able to play the game against Australia in Cape Town from next week Thursday in a fiery series deadlocked at 1-1.

Steyn said, "I cannot imagine another match where I have to retire half way through it because my foot is bruised''. He also said that he can not let his country or team  down and that it has happened a couple of times now. He said, ''as a fast bowler I have to land on my front foot. Putting eight or nine times of my body weight on that foot.It can handle only so much''.

Steyn said that he hopes to be available for the potential series-deciding final test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on 30 March.

I think the decision made by Steyn is very mature because it must be very tiring to the team if one if the team mates leaves in the middle of the game.
