Steyn's fishy injury blow

Protea quick hooked on Zimbabwe fishing trip

South Africa spearhead Dale Steyn has hit a snag in Zimbabwe, suffering what appears to be a painful injury in a fishing accident.
The world's No.1 pace bowler has been hooked on Zimbabwe's life aquatic, but it was the fast bowler himself who was hooked after a mishap.
Steyn uploaded a video of a doctor injecting the fast bowler with the hook still firmly lodged in his flesh just below the left knee joint.
"Sometimes u get it wrong… #hooked on fishing" Steyn tweeted.
Steyn has been rested by Cricket South Africa from the Proteas' one-day series against Zimbabwe that is being played ahead of Australia's arrival for a tri-series competition, and has been making the most of the break with a spot of fishing.
"1st cast of the morning! Back on it! Loving this Zimbabwe tour! @ my secret pond" Steyn tweeted last Friday.

We have contacted Cricket South Africa for a comment on whether the hook injury would impact Steyn's ability to bowl.
