Donald tips Morkel to be world's most devastating paceman.

And the new 'white lightning.'

He seems to 'grow' taller with each article. He started at about 196 and not seems to be 201. At this rate he'll be seven foot by the end of the tour.

About time they started talking this bloke up. Morkel from Orkel looks like a genuine prospect.

I would agree. To me Morkel looks to have the potential to be the white Joel Garner.

He won't have one advantage that Big Bird apparently had though. When he bowled at some grounds his point of release was above the top of the sightscreen from the batsman's PoV. Combine this with his dark skin and a deep red new ball. Maybe Morkel could start wearing a Michael Jackson glove...

Racist.

Perhaps he could be the new white-Waqar-cum-Jesus.

Call me Zimi. Apparently.

PCS, I thought Flintoff was supposed to be the new Jesus?

That comment about Zim's a backhand bandwagon if ever I heard one.

I thought it was a bit topbottom meself.

And I apologise for using that word in the previous. I was trying to see if it 'works' yet.

Computer says no...

Only according to pissed-off Aussies he was.

The new BOTHAM, was the as-ever vacuous hype.


Slash was the new Blackmore.
Wagner was the new Beethoven.
Clarkson was the new Einstein.

Simplistic claptrap vision (C) always looks for apples or mangoes or fruitcakes to compare with oranges, instead of evaluating the new article in its own right.

Why apologise for topbottom?

It's the new jack black.

Asked and answered, your honour.

Greg Blewett said the other night on Inside Cricket that he watched him in England and he thinks he would be the nastiest bowler to face out of their attack and of bowlers around the world. His release point is meant to be nine feet when you couple his height with his action.
