5 reasons why Dale Steyn will always be my hero

We all have players that inspire us and have an impact on our lives, for me that is Dale Steyn, being a bowler is hard being a fast bowler is even more difficult. When it comes to Dale what I love about him most is the passion with which he plays for his country, his teammates. Here are my five reasons why he will always be my hero (five feels way less) 

1. He is a wicket taking machine: He has taken 396 test wickets, 162 ODI wickets, 613 International wickets, job well- done. 




2. He is animal lover: He has always stood up to support animal rights,  he has been spreading awareness against Rhino slaughter for as long as I remember. 


3. He treats his teammates like family: If you ever heard him talking about his teammates you would know what I mean. Here is one of the videos that is a must watch.




4. He is an "Angry Bird" (don't judge me, read the whole thing) : Remember his expressions after taking a wicket, ya people call it the angry bird look but for me, I think that is passion. The relief of being able to give the team that much needed break. Even with those super cute angry bird expression he has always shown great respect for his opposition players as well. 


5. He is super stylish: The "n" number of hairstyles that he can pull of is amazing, he is package of skills and style.

Airport Romance- Chapter three

This is the moment I know I should say something to her something that would make her feel better, but I am out of words. It is so refreshing to see someone who is so in touch with her emotions. “God, here I am telling you my life story and I don’t even know anything about you. So what are you running from?” saying this her switch has worked again, there is a massive smile on her face and the spark is coming back. “I am running from my work, same old boring story.” “It cannot be that bad, what do you work as?” “ I am an actor.” “An actor, I haven’t met one before, are you any good.” “ Decent, I have a few fans here and there.” “Give me you phone.” “Oh okay, here you go.” I am not sure what she is looking for, but I can see her trying to google something. “You call yourself decent? God how many awards have you won?” “I have  a long way to go trust me.” There it is again she knows I am an actor and just like everyone else she is going to act all weird now. ...
