It's definatly not cheating but I'm definatly not a fan of when fast bowlers finish a spell and go off and get a massage, quick shower, food, watching video footage etc etc (which even happens at shield level)

Especially considering how slow over rates are, batsmen aren't allowed runners anymore, drinks are kept at fine leg etc

For me it's a tad against the spirit of the game

Think everyone knows he isnt the sharpest tool, not denying that.
I think lots of people were waiting for him to fail this test to get stuck into him. Good to see it hasnt affected him.

I missed a ten minute period so didnt see mid over but it's extremely common for bowlers to go off at the end of a spell

Steyn injured. What a cheat. Not like he would be bowling right now or anything.

As I said, legitimate injury is fine but last test the Saffer bowlers continually came off the field for periods of time
