Brutal Hitters

Cricketer Of The Year
"Brutal" is far too uncouth a word to apply to Morkel's hitting. It is unviolent, nigh graceful and wholly without the savagery that marks the majority of long-distance sluggers. Even "hitter" is a misnomer, ignoring as it does the facile ease with which he glides through the ball.
Tautology aside, I would agree that he hits the ball with "facile ease." However having watched him destroy the Lancashire bowling attack yesterday evening I would challenge anyone to deny that this was brutal hitting of the highest order.

Of late, Jac Oram has been the most brutal hitter of the ball I've seen. Loved watching Zulu smack the pill around in the past, though.
