Morne's shoes stolen

It's true to an extent. It's also the funniest thing I've heard in a while.

Morne Morkel's shoes were "stolen" or rather, misplaced, from the team's hotel Fourways. Morne was busy preparing for the last ODI at Wanderers and had left his equipment bag in the hotel lobby. According to him

“One moment my bag was still in the hotel lobby and the next it was nowhere to be found. One of the hotel workers had been spotted with it and somehow it landed on the same bus as the baggage for the Deccan Chargers.”

The hotel worker reportedly bore a remarkable resemblance to Albie Morkel.

The bag contained three pairs of Puma shoes, all of Morne's batting equipment, and his one-day uniform. It was found in Cape Town late Thursday afternoon and should arrive back to Morne Friday morning. Meanwhile, Morne has had to train in Ntini's shoes, but that's a bit of a problem because Morne descends from a family of ogres and has Size 12 shoes. Ntini has Size 10 shoes.

Poor Morne.

“My feet are full of blisters and it’s been a struggle walking."

HAHAHA, who am I kidding? This is hilarious.

I also just got a phone call from someone who spent 5 minutes laughing hysterically down the line, not saying a single word. You can bet who that was.

"So. Stressed. Small. Shoes."
