  1. Sure, Stokes is saved by Steyn, next Jadeja-Sundar drama will be solved by a new press release. So deep.

  2. Love how Steyn jump in with a constructive take, it shows real sportsmanship. Ben Stokes get support, while Jadeja-Sundar drama continues; this vibe is entertaining and show why cricket fans love the sport.

  3. Oh wow, another defending stance, groundbreaking analysis. Next we’ll have a masterclass on fielding positions explained by comments section.

  4. Oh great onion has many layers indeed, and apparently every layer deserve a headline. Steyn defend Stokes now, maybe next Jadeja Sundar will be playing chase for who looked at who first.

  5. Cricket soap opera has be on air, the ball is the plot twist and the commentary is the popcorn. Steyn stepping is like cameo of star player, but fans want more then drama and less broken press release.

  6. This post is pure drama and ironically a nice break from the scoreboard. Let the onion layers peel themselves while we watch the next over. If the match continues like this, the fans will start negotiating with the bowler for run rates.

  7. From reports, Jadeja and Sundar were involved in a post match discussion about field placement and tactical calls. Steyn’s comments appear bias the matter toward defending one teammate, which is common in cricket culture. Its important to separate on field performance from off field controversies when evaluating a player’s form.

  8. Arguing here that defending Stokes is fine, but this loyalty talk overshadow the tactical realities. If Steyn wants to help Stokes, he should talk about performance not personal loyalty or comparing to Jadeja Sundar. The drama is not helpful for the team building.

  9. Not convinced by this defense, feels like patching hole with other patch. Steyn might talk big but the drama just distracts from real cricket. I would rather see focus on Jadeja and Sundar performances, not on off field narratives.

  10. Another day, another defence or blame game. The obsession with defending and attacking in social media is silly. Fans should focus on the cricket results, not these talk shows.

  11. Really enjoying how the discussion stay respectful even amid drama. Steyn’s defense of Stokes aside, it remind me that cricketers are human with emotions. The team will need to navigate this without losing focus on the next match. More conversations like this please; it keep the sport alive.

  12. From what i gather, the Jadeja Sundar incident involved disagreements during field placements and leadership talk. Steyns stance is not unusual as many players publicly defend teammates; still media narrative can distort the game strategy.
