Morkel's emergence biggest gain

Probably a pretty fair assessment.
Smith is an awesome player and one of my all-time favourites. His ability to grind out runs when they are most needed to testament to top temperament. He's not the most stylish but he gets the job done and he's one of those I'd want to bat for my life.
Add in Kallis, Boucher, Steyn and Morkel, and England held a real top team to a draw. No mean feat that.
But cricket was certainly the winner, a really top series.
