10 great cricketers who were terrible fielders

6 Morne Morkel

Morne Morkel

South Africans are generally known for being excellent fielders, however, their 6 feet 5 fast bowler Morne Morkel is a notable exception to the rule.

Over the years, he has been one of the best fast bowlers in the world but as a fielder, he has been a liability for the side for quite some time. Morkel is not a swift mover by any stretch and in addition to that, owing to his towering frame it is often tough for him to get down quickly.

That often leads to South Africa conceding unnecessary runs and last but not the least, he is not always a reliable catcher either. He often makes simple catches look difficult and that is often the attribute of a poor fielder.
