We were talking about that when we I read it and I saw his tweet to congratulate Zim, which I thought was cool.

LOL. We have a few statesmen here, "sillymid" is one; backing our guys anytime. I believe in them too. Steyn is #1 bowler in Test cricket, its really heart warming to receive such comments, wish him all the success.
