It is not like he can’t turn because he is not a good spinner. He can’t turn because the crack is on his back instead of the track. ***************************** The pitch is like a road. Morne Morkel is fired up like a Formula One car. Formula One cars do not need grass banks to perform. They need roads. Nicknamed Pup, Michael Clarke is indeed a Pup in the middle of the road with Morne Morkel firing in. The inevitable happens. Pup does get hit. If you ever ask the commentators what is the name of your child when Morne Morkel is bowling, they would say “He should pitch the ball fuller”. Clarke will become a commentator in the future. But he would probably echo the same view now. In a fierce spell of fast, short pitched bowling, Clarke is first hit in the ribs. The very next over he faces Morkel, he is hit on his forearm. It is broken. In his next over, Morkel hits him first on the head and next on the abdomen – two body strikes in the over. Morkel is teaching him...
