World's top-ranked paceman Dale Steyn has said that he can sense fear in a batsman through their body language.
Steyn, who is helping South Africa tear apart New Zealand's batting lineup in their ODI series ahead of the World Cup, said that a lot of players are scared and they back away and hit one over extra cover and it looks really good, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Steyn said that it's a one bounce four and the batsman runs down near where he is standing but added that he knows inside that the batsman is absolutely crapping himself.
The pace express said that he knows and the batsman knows, adding that the only reason his opponent played that shot was because he was shitting himself.
Steyn said that he gets that feeling all the time whenever he bowls to a batsman.
