this is setting myself up to look stupid, but...

I don't think Morkel will pick up wickets right arm round on a good length. Sure, he's made Warner uncomfortable, but he won't be able to pitch it up enough and he's completely taken LBW out of play. If he was coming over he could pitch it full without fear of missing the line and giving leg stump half volleys. He's fast enough to try and beat the batsman for pace and get LBW and bowled, as well as perhaps get the edge with the natural angle across the left hander.

The only thing he can hope for going round the wicket is to angle it in and hope it straightens and takes the edge, but I think that's asking a bit much of this pitch and he's going to bowl too many loose deliveries searching for that movement.

damn it now I do look silly.

A composed duck
Best duck ive ever seen. SO UNLUCKY.
Easily the best duck I've ever seen.

Edit: started typing this 5 seconds after it hit the edge and two people beat me to it?
The best duck I've ever seen.
That was a beautiful duck if ever I saw one.

But seriously ****ing hell **** 2/44 on this non-road.

I didn't say he will, I said it'd suck

besides, 3/600 dec, aus win by inns and 20 runs or something
Yeah I know, I didn't say you said he will either, just making the point that its unlikely in a dry way.

But holy **** Ponting mate, you've done your dash go home.

Clarke is due a failure too.

I think Ponting's lack of footing made a decent delivery look deadly there.

Typical top order collapse.
