In England Dale Steyn didn't fire.
And the press didn't seem to care.
They had Morne Morkel, the commentators were madly in love with him.
There was alot to like, tall, fast, and hard to play.
But somewhere the supervillain sounding Morkel lost it.
Almost every time i see him play he seems to break down.
The latest one was against the Kittens.
Now if you can't handle the pressure when playing the kittnes, your first trip to Australia is going to be hell.
This was an over by Morkel.
33.1 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, full and too straight, flicked away with ease.
33.2 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, no shot offered.
33.3 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, full and wide, beautiful cover drive.
33.4 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, too straight from Morkel and flicked down fine.
33.5 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 no ball
33.5 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 no ball, another no-all, backward defence.
33.5 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 wide, very wide outside off. Morkel struggling.
33.5 Morkel to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, driven to Smith at mid-off.
33.6 Morkel to Shahadat Hossain, no run
The score before the over was 8/132 in the first innings.
That is some break down.
And in the second innings he wasn't much better.
This has been happening alot, something in Morkel's skull is disconnected.
Apparently the boy is a bit of a thinker, and that can often lead towards head fucks.
Morkel seems to be dealing with them alot.
Usually this wouldn't be a huge problem, Morkel could completely collapse and the worlds favourite serial killer Andre Nel could come in.
But his knee is gone, and he isn't even travelling to Australia.
Instead Zondeki and Lonwabo Tsotsobe are the back ups.
Morkel's head is never going to be tested more than in Australia.
This is something to keep an eye on.
