#2 Morne Morkel

An injury to Chris Morris gave DD a golden chance to get a fast bowler in to help Trent Boult. They went for Junior Dala – a good choice but not the South African who could have saved them this season.
Morne Morkel would have been a good pick as he has a lot of experience and could have provided them the extra edge in the bowling department. The 33 year old can deliver wickets at the start of the innings and also control the run rate at the death.
Dala played just one game and was unable to impress. That gave Liam Plunkett the chance to continue playing despite not being on top of his game.
