A Quote by Dale Steyn

It's something that I've wanted to do for a while, play Big Bash. Unfortunately representing the Proteas for the bulk of my career over Christmas time we've always got Test matches on, the Boxing Day and New Year's Test matches. So I haven't been available.
I love the multi-format series. Within it they've found a way to retain Test matches and England v Australia in the Test arena, they were always my favourite matches to play in.
When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.
During the time I didn't play for England, they were losing Test matches, and the Yorkshire committee were telling me that I should be batting for my country. Then, when I decided to make myself available to play for England again in 1977, and Yorkshire lost a couple of matches in my absence, they criticised me for not being there.
I've been lucky enough to play over 100 Test matches for Australia.
Older readers will remember there used to be matches on Christmas Day. I remember leaving the fireside and the presents to watch matches on the day as a boy but such matches were rare by the time I began playing.
In Test matches, you have to play consistent cricket for a period of time.
I have no real desire to play Test cricket, and the reason I lost this desire was because I was not selected consistently for Test matches.
I've been in the business over 35 years and had over 6,000 matches and I am helping guys who have only been in the business maybe a year or two and 100 matches. I am taking my 6,000 matches and passing it along.
I firmly believe Test series should never be two Test matches, three is enough.
My aim is to play Test matches. For me, there is a different feel of Test cricket as it tests your character. You come to know about your mental toughness, and most importantly, there is another level of satisfaction as a player.
If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score runs, and I've always managed to turn it around.
I want to play 100 Test matches for England.
I loved every minute of my 17-year career, all the Test matches, the ODIs and the World Cups. The only disappointment, if you ask me, was I never won a World Cup for West Indies.
It's true that I have got wickets with the new ball in Test matches, but that doesn't mean that I can't bowl with the old ball.
Bull markets are Test matches and not 50-over games.
If you're going to play in all three formats, you can't play all the games. You probably play two Test matches, miss the last one and take some time off and maybe come back for the second ODI or second T20.
