It will be great to see Imran back says Morkel – Cricket News Update

The Proteas fielded a four-pronged pace attack for the series’ opener at Gabba, but their tactics were not supported by the Brisbane track, which offered nothing to the pace bowlers. It was the tourists’ first Test at Gabba since readmission, and their limited knowledge of the surrounding eventually saw them play second fiddle to the home side.
After posting 450 in their first innings, the much sought-after attack struggled for consistency and was made to pay by the hosts batters. They began well to restrict the Aussies at 40 for 3 at one stage but failed to make that advantage count and managed just two more after that.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409 managed just one scalp in the match, while Morkel was the only other bowler to pose any sort of wicket-taking threat.

Their insipid showing has now forced the management to include a spinning option in the side for the upcoming Adelaide clash. Currently, the team has two frontline spinners in their ranks; a holding left-armer in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Peterson-c2332 and a more attacking option in Tahir.
The latter has been the team’s premier spinner in the Test format over the past year, and is expected to take his position in the side at the expense of Kleinveldt. The Pakistani born player has featured in 10 Tests so far, where he has claimed 26 wickets.
Morkel is looking forward to see him in the side when the two teams meet on November 22.
"It will be great to see Imran back, he is a quality guy, quality player and also attacking," Morkel said. "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 has been bowling well in nets and working hard on his game."
