Steyn swings it in Hollywood

Dale Steyn's rhythmic run-up, his skills at shaping the ball both ways to leave the batsmen in a tangle and his angry celebrations are sheer theatre for cricket fans. But now the fast bowler is set to take it to another level. Steyn spent the last week shooting for Adam Sandler's new movie Family Moon, also featuring former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal.

"I was probably more nervous than playing in front of a packed cricket ground," said Steyn who plays a South African cricketer in the movie directed by Frank Coraci, due to release next year.

His tryst with tinsel town also included a dinner at the Sandler home where Adam was waiting with the perfect welcome. "When I walked in he was wearing the Proteas shirt. That was pretty cool," Steyn said. "It was an amazing experience and I would enjoy the opportunity if it came my way again."
