If not now, when' moment for youngsters
The New Indian Express Bengaluru|December 14, 2024
ORNE Morkel was at the start of his short run-up, ready to jog in at the outdoor nets of The Gabba on Friday afternoon.
TNIE @ BORDER-GAVASKAR TROPHY

He had been at it for a while on a breezy afternoon in Brisbane. Facing him at the crease was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who seemingly looked down at his stance just when Morkel was starting. The former South African pacer and India's current bowling coach stopped midway and gestured with his hand, checking what happened. Morkel tried to start again, and Jaiswal looked down just then. And again. Thrice in a row.

At this point, Morkel wasn't amused one bit. This time, he waited. He waited till Jaiswal looked up after looking down and then ran in. A sharp bouncer came the youngster's way and he ducked. Morkel wasn't done. He delivered another bumper which Jaiswal awkwardly tried to pull before playing down the last one.
