Aussie captain Ricky Ponting was left to reflect on what might have been after his side were on the wrong end.
The Proteas capitalised on a well-chosen batting powerplay to plunder 18 runs off the 48th over, bowled by Ben Hilfenhaus, to steal a remarkable victory with three balls to spare in the opening one-day international at the MCG.
Morkel was the star of the show for the tourists, hitting a match-winning 40 off only 18 balls as the Proteas found the 50 runs they needed from the final five overs to pass Australia's total of 271 and claim a three-wicket win.
