Supervillian fails to launch

There was obviously a reason why Morne Morkel opened the batting.

Hopefully something a little more than “He's always likening himself to Matthew Hayden so we thought we'd take a look.”

Perhaps it was to blunt the new ball, steal some boundaries, or confuse Australia.

Two balls is all he lasted.

And while at the moment it doesn’t look like much of a loss.

What will South Africa be thinking if they find themselves 6 wickets down at tea tomorrow.

Their best defensive tailender wont be available.

His wicket was sacrificed at the altar or fuck knows.

Morkel probably would have lasted more than 2 balls if he batted at 7 today.

And why would anyone promote someone on the basis he is like Matthew Hayden, you may not have heard, but he is struggling for form.
