Dale Steyn's rise to national selection was rapid,
being picked in the side for the first Test against England in
December 2004 little more than a season after making his first-class
debut. A genuinely fast, if slightly raw, bowler, who moves the ball
away from right-handers, Steyn sprints to the wicket and hurls the
ball down with agression, and often follows with a snarl or side for
the batsman. He was expected to be included in the squad which
toured India, but the selectors held him back, preferring to keep
him as a secret weapon on home soil. At the highest level his lack
of experience was exposed but there was enough to suggest that he
could be a force to be reckoned with
