Morne Morkel Vs Ricky Ponting...Fine & Accurate Over...2008

[treeboy323]

his is what real cricket is all about

[masterblaster234]

Ishant Sharma is not close to Morne Morkel. But Morkel is not that good either.

Whats great in this??

Top pace attacks in the world at the moment:

1: South Africa (Morkel, Steyn, Ntini)

2: England (Bresnan, Anderson, Tremlett)

3: West Indies (Edwards, Rampaul, Roach, Bravo)

4: New Zealand (Martin, Bracewell, Southee)

5: Australia: (Siddle, Pattinson, Cummins,)

Coming from an Aussie.

[thorney6603]

@haydesj Mate Ntini doesn't play anymore. IMO...

1. South Africa - Steyn, Philander, Morkel, Tsotsobe, Kallis

2. England - Anderson, Tremlett, Bresnan, Broad

3. Australia - Harris (when fit), Cummins (when fit), Pattinson, Siddle, Watson

4. India - Zaheer (when fit), Sharma, Yadav, Aaron

5. West Indies - Rampaul, Edwards, Sammy, Roach

[haydesj]

@thorney6603 I only put in the main bowlers or the stand outs of each team in and I based it on test squads. I'm not going to argue with that I just thing India is more of a spin country and Australias bowling is shit at the moment. I'd rather have a WI pace attack over Aus and Ind.

[thorney6603]

@haydesj Yeah not arguing mate I find it an interesting topic. I like Rampaul but I think Edwards and Roach are just fast and easy enough to get away for runs. Zaheer Khan when fit is one of the best bowlers in the world, India aren't dangerous with their quicks without him IMO.

[StormFlank6]

@haydesj we not arguing that but we saying ntini doesnt play anymore thats why he shoudnt b on that list

[haydesj]

@StormFlank6 Yeah I know I just haven't seen SA play since they were in Australia last so I missed his retirement.

[StormFlank6]

@haydesj lmao ntini retired last year in a 20/20 vs india and his last test was against england in the 2009/2010 season.vernon philander belongs in that altough i miss ntini

[crengp]

c'mon, all the balls were comfortably played by him..nothing so very special about the over..

[majesticmaniac]

This was the time after the india australia series when ishat really troubled ponting big time....But now a days ishant is just one average bowler, thats all....

[giam333]

i think its funny how they are talking about ishant sharma being better then morkel and now the roles have been furiously reversed

[therockfan678]

@giam333 Ishant sharma was never as good as morkel.. lol. Look at morkel's average it's 30 and ishant is 34, and morkel got better and ishant is getting worse.

[giam333]

@therockfan678 at the time of the video they heals, chapelli and mark nicholas were talking about sharma being able to move the ball and also apparently being the best quick in the game, at the time.

[therockfan678]

@giam333 well they must have been on drugs if they thought there was ever a time ishant was the best quick in the game

[1Linett]

@giam333 errr no.

[StormFlank6]

@1Linett giam333 is right morkel is far better than ishant sharma,,morkel is now a in form bowler who not only gets bounce but is seriously fast..h is even faster than dale steyn he bowls consistent in the 140's and touches 150km/h easily....look what he did to india in the series they played in south africa took 5/20...He and dale steyn are the most feared pace attack in the world....they have taken more than 200wickets together as new ball partners

[dosh228]

@StormFlank6 Steyn's a class above MM as is Philander, Morkel is too inconsistant to be rated in the same catergory, Steyn can bowl as quick as MM but dosn't he uses his head & the conditions far better he bowls within himself most of the time trying to move the ball sideways on a line & length everychance he's got unlike the straight up & down inconsistant Morkel

[StormFlank6]

@dosh228 yes i dont argue you on that sometimes i get frustrated with steyn coz he can bowl faster..but morkel is faster than steyn just watch there speed but MM is to inconsistent and therefore steyn wil always b better than him

[rohitrez]

@giam333 morne >>>>>>ishant and thats from an indian!

[rohitrez]

lol comparing ishant sharma to courtney walsh, and saying he's "The best quick in the game"- how times change!
