Durban, Dec 27: South African speedster Dale Steyn on Monday insisted that his team were not getting ahead of themselves despite their strong position in the second Test match.
Steyn took four wickets for 36 to leave the tourists on 183 for six at stumps on a shortened day of play which saw only 56 overs bowled after overnight rain and a morning drizzle in Durban.
“I don’t think we want to get too far ahead of ourselves,” Steyn said.
“We want to treat their bowlers like we would treat their top order batsmen. They still have [Mahendra Singh] Dhoni there and he’s a player that can take the game away from you. So I think we have to be patient, get the ball in the right areas and let the wicket do the rest for you.”
Praising his teammate Tsotsobe, Steyn said, “He bowled nicely at SuperSport Park [last week]. He was always going to be the guy that the Indians were going to attack with me and Morne [Morkel] going reasonably well.”
“I thought he created a lot of opportunities there and was a little unlucky. He got another opportunity [on Day 1] and has proved that he can bowl,” he added.
