I don't usually like a cricket post, but I watched a little bit of the SA-WI Twenty20 game. It looks a one-sided affair - but Dale Steyn has just bowled an incredible spell and it deserves a mention.
The last time I remember being completely awestruck about this kind of fast bowling was Shoaib's spell (must have been 98-99) in an ODI against the Kiwis when Wasim was still captain. Shoaib, if I recall correctly, took 4 wickets in a 3 or 4 over spell in the middle of the innings - all of them bowled. Steyn has just taken 4 wickets in a 3 over spell - all of them bowled...
Hopefully he can stay away from injuries and give us some serious entertainment over the next few years. It's one of the things that excessive cricket over the past 10 years has deprived us of - Shoaib, Bond and a super-fast Lee.
