Louis Klazinga (born 4 December 1985) is a Namibian cricketer.
After playing for Eldoraigne High School in Centurion,Gauteng,he first played for Namibia in October 2006 as a pace bowler and tail-end batsman,in the South African Airways Three-Day Challenge,making his debut against Limpopo. He took the wickets of Sammy Letsoalo,Jacques Pretorius and Sipho Mashele,but did not bat during the match,following captain Louis Burger's declaration after scoring a century. In his second match for Namibia,he took four wickets. Since then,he has been Namibia's regular opening bowler. After failing to qualify for the ICC World Twenty20 2016,at the age of 29,Klazinga announced his retirement from cricket,leaving a big hole in the weak and inexperienced Namibia Cricket Team. [1]

Dale Willem Steyn is a South African former professional cricketer who played for the South African cricket team. He is regarded by many as the greatest bowler of the modern era. Steyn's ability to produce late swing at high pace - a rare and lethal combination amongst fast bowlers - made him stand apart from many of his contemporaries. Many cricketing legends have regarded his length deliveries unplayable when the ball swung. During the 2007–08 season,Steyn achieved a tally of 78 wickets at an average of 16.24,and was subsequently rewarded with the ICC 2008 Test Cricketer of the Year Award. He was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2013,and the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for the year 2013 in 2014's Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. In December 2015 he injured his shoulder in the Durban Test against England ;after this injury his career was a short lived one as it was followed by multiple injuries;these injuries were the reason why many cricketing greats didn't even consider post 2015 Steyn as "The Dale Steyn" which the batsmen feared to face. He was featured in Wisden Cricketers of the Decade at the end of 2019. He also was included in the ICC Test Team of the Decade at the end of 2020.
