Morkel is one of the most overrated ****s i've seen. Like a more pea hearted version of Harmisson. Gets in peoples face when he's on top, but as soon as he gets hit a bit, shoulders start to drop.
As long as he's your only real back up seamer, you're in trouble. Drop the wimp for Parnell of Kleinveldt.

this is rubbish. Have you watched him in the last couple of years or do you only watch when Australia plays? He's had spells that have singlehandedly brought SA back into test matches. Sure, he's not as good as Steyn or Philander, but he's a very good bowler.

He's nearly 30 and hasn't learned to pitch it up yet. His record is disappointing given his talent. A tall, quick bowler averaging 30 bowling in South Africa most of the time is like an Indian spinner averaging 30- not overly impressive given the help they get.
Dropping him would be an overreaction but they need a 4th genuine strike bowler. Parnell/Kleinveldt in for Robin or Mclaren

He's actually bowled pretty well against us. Was probably their best bowler over here last summer.
