Dale Steyn explains why Marco Jansen, not Harry Brook, is the ‘best cricketer right now’

South African fast-bowling legend Dale Steyn declared Marco Jansen the world's best cricketer over England's Harry Brook, responding to a fan debate on X with the explanation, "Harry don't bowl." Steyn's comments came after former England captain Nasser Hussain labeled Brook the best player in the world, prompting comparisons between Brook's specialist batting and Jansen's all-round capabilities.

Steyn's backing followed Jansen's dominant performance in the second Test against Australia at St George's Park in Gqeberha. Jansen scored 85 runs before taking 5/33 to help bowl out Australia for 99, taking his Test wicket tally to 98 and cementing his place near the top of the ICC Test all-rounder rankings.
