Rain delays third day in Bangladesh-S.Africa Test

The first Test between Bangladesh and South Africa at Chittagong ended in a draw after days four and five were washed out by rain.

16634: Balls it took Steyn to collect 400 wickets – the least, by far, taken by any bowler. South Africa still have the second new ball at their disposal and will hope to finish Bangladesh’s innings quickly and aim to bat once to seal a series whose score line remains 0-0, thanks largely to the rain.

15 – Times Steyn has dismissed Pakistan batsman Mohammed Hafeez in Test matches, making him the man Steyn has dismissed the most in his Test career.

“I’ve by no means been a stats individual”, he stated concerning the achievement. “It’s pretty cool to take the wickets and get the headband off and get the hair off”, he told reporters after the day’s play. “It’s nice to have these numbers but I have had a lot better moments in my cricketing career. I never thought that would happen … ever in my life”. Winning games for my country has always been objective number one so the jobs not over yet.

“It was a good day for us”, he said to the media after the days play.

South African pacer Dale Steyn, who has entered the coveted 400 wicket club, has said that he is not much into setting targets for himself to achieve, and just would have been happy to have even taken one worldwide wicket. His first wicket came when he bowled Marcus Trescothick.
