DUBAI, Nov 4 (AFP): Paceman Morne Morkel hopes his new-ball partner Dale Steyn will get fit sooner than later to boost South Africa in the last two one-day matches against Pakistan.
"Dale is world number one, anybody will miss Dale, espcially for me bowling with him," Morkel, 26, told reporters ahead of Friday's fourth one-dayer in the five-match series which South Africa lead by 2-1.
"As a unit we create a lot of pressure together and I hope he gets fit and returns to the field as soon as possible," said Morkel of the 27-year-old paceman who missed both the Twenty20 and all three one-day matches on the tour.
