The man who flattened my Off Stump with his 1st Test wicket is now the leading wicket taker in SA Test History … Well done @DaleSteyn62 … Great bowler & top man … #Steyn

…except Vaughan was Steyn’s Test wicket. That small detail apart, who can forget that ball?
Congratulations @DaleSteyn62 Great to watch … Probably the best going around.
