(born
10 June 1981 ,
Vereeniging ,
Transvaal ,
South Africa ), also known as just Albie Morkel, is a
South African Cricketer with impressive
First Class statistics, but who has made a smaller impact on the international stage. Morkel made his international debut in a
One-day International against
New Zealand on
20 February 2004 , which the South Africans lost by five runs. Morkel made six
Runs from six balls, batting at number four.
Ray Jennings , a former South African international, has picked Morkel to become a world-class
All-rounder in the coming years, but his international career so far leaves something to be desired.
His
Bowling was quite impressive in his first seasons in
First Class Cricket , as he burst onto the scene with six for 36 for Easterns against Griqualand West, but in the
2004 /
05 season he was expected to take more of the bowling effort for the Titans, but only took 20 wickets at a
Bowling Average of 40.65. However, that coincided with an improvement in his
Batting , as he made his first double century of his career, with 204 not out against Western Province Boland.
His statistics on the tour to New Zealand were not very impressive, as he got two wickets at the cost of 48 runs apiece, but he did get five wickets quite cheaply on
Zimbabwe 's tour of South Africa in the summer of
2004 /
05 . However, the series also included a spell where he ended up with
Bowling Figures of 6-0-54-1, which meant that he conceded nine
Runs an
Over . Nevertheless, Morkel was picked for the Africa squad to play Asia in the
2005 Afro-Asian Cup , but withdrew due to injury.
