Top 5 talented players who were overshadowed by more flamboyant teammates

#4 Morne Morkel

Morkel has somehow always come second when pitted against Steyn

Tall, mean and fast, these are the traits which spring to mind whenever Morne Morkel's name comes up, and there would hardly be any team around the world which would not include the lanky fast bowler in their team.

However, Morne has for some reason never been the menacing force in his own country, and irrespective of his several match-winning performances, he has forever remained in the shadows of Dale Steyn.

While Steyn is once in a lifetime bowler, who almost performs as if he is in a theatre, Morkel is more hard working and is not as talented as Steyn. But then this should not take away his worth and contribution to South Africa cricket.

Perhaps, Morkel now steps up and grabs the mantle and realises his true worth, and hence there is no reason why he cannot be a match winner like Steyn.
