South Africa’s experienced pacer Dale Steyn shared his views on whether Jofra Archer can use a Kookaburra ball. England speedster gave away six runs an over in the second innings of the first Test between South Africa and England. Although Archer has picked a five-wicket haul, he conceded 102 runs in 17 overs.

Dale Steyn, who is currently playing in Australia for Big Bash League, didn’t follow the first Test between South Africa vs England. He took to Twitter and asked former South Africa cricketer Jacques Rudolph about match updates where a journalist replied Quinton de Kock is hitting Jofra Archer all over the park.

Dale Steyn on Jofra Archer

Archer gave away three sixes and a four by Quinton de Kock, as South Africa went to put up a big total. Steyn felt the South Africa batsman is too good for England seamer, who doesn’t know how to use a Kookaburra ball.

“Quinny too good for him, don’t know how to use the kooka! Haha,” wrote Steyn on Twitter.
