Always great to be able to bowl Yorkers, says Morne Morkel - Cricket News Update
Delhi Daredevils' South African recruit, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528, has said that it is always great to be able to bowl yorkers, but the bowler needs to be very clever while bowling them.
“…it's always great to be able to bowl that [yorker]. But you have to be clever,” said the 27-year-old Transvaal fast bowler while speaking to the media reporters ahead of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780’s crunch game against Chennai Super Kings on Friday.
“If you're bowling at 150 and you can't land the ball in a consistent area, then its easy pickings for the batsmen. But you have to play according to the situation [of the game] and not go out with a fixed plan," he added further.
The South African, who is the current holder of the purple cap with 25 scalps from 16 outings, has been a vital cog in Delhi’s bowling line up and with his devastating death bowling, he turned out to be match savior for his team at various occasions.
In the last 15 league matches of the ongoing season five of the Indian Premier League, Morkel had claimed 12 scalps at an economy rate of 7.36 in his spells in the last five overs of opposition’s innings.
The veteran of 100 Twenty20 games shot to the limelight when he delivered a tight penultimate over against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals conceding only three runs and claiming a wicket as well to guide Daredevils to a thrilling one-run victory.
“I think the most important thing is you need to be confident, so I just told myself that I could do it and tried to calm myself as much as possible," said the South African when asked about his match-winning over against Royals in the league stage.
The Transvaal pacer has received good support from rookie Indian bowlers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744 this season. Lauding the duo for its contribution all through the tournament, Morkel said that if they could keep this bowling unit together for another
year, they would become an unmatchable IPL side.
The winner of tonight’s qualifier between Delhi and Chennai will play Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL final on Sunday.
