                              Steyn Gun Arise In Galle 

1st Test match between srilanka and south Africa going on in Galle after Dominating first innings in galle over Srilanka...Now south africa also dominates in bowling with brilliance of Dale styen.He took 5 wickets and give only 50 runs with 7 maidens in just 21 overs with the economy of  just 2.38...He took key  wickets of kushal silve,Mahela Jayawardene,Lahiru Thrimanne,Dinesh Chandimal and Dilruwan perera..The Galle pitch was still largely quiet amid sporadic bouts of activity, but that did not deter Steyn, whose pace and venom did not dip throughout his 21 overs in sapping heat and humidity. Steyn went level with Richard Hadlee and Courtney Walsh for the most five-fors by a non-Asian bowler in Asia.



Steyn bounced out Kaushal Silva in the morning and returned at the stroke of lunch to trap Mahela Jayawardene in front with a full, inswinging ripper. Even as Mathews and Lahiru Thirimanne resisted, he came back again after tea with a furious spell of 5-3-8-3.
    Steyn was understandably spent after this effort, and was out of the attack for the next 15 overs, in which Mathews, along with Rangana Herath, nearly repeated Headingley.
