Australian Domestic Cricket

[aussie1st]

Copeland has 4 and Bollinger 3, would love Copeland to add another 5 fer to his telly. Tassie get first innings points though but we are definitely getting a result.

Wow, what's happening on the SCG pitch? This game could finish tommorow .

Good to see Johnson finding some form with the bat. Hope it will increase his confidence with the ball.

Lock him in Eddie. 51 wickets at 17.66 including four 5-fers in 8 matches including the fresh 6-51. Don't drop him again NSW!

His action is perfect for swing bowling and the recent conditions we had are no doubt aiding him.

Ye loved watching Copleland bowled this morning before i go to school. Best swing bowler in AUS other than Hilfenhaus for sure.

I haven't seen this Copeland guy bowl but his stats are really impressive. If he does swing it a lot I think Australia should definitely look at him before Siddle. Btw does he have much pace?

Just saw some youtube footage and he does look really impressive, not that quick but a swinging ball at 130ks is much more harder to play than fast straight stuff that Siddle and Johnson bowl.

By the looks of things Johnson will have to score the majority of Australia's Ashes runs.

Geez if yesterday wasn't crazy enough now we have our batsmen throwing their wicket away from run outs. That was Watson's fault, Henriques hit it straight to the main and had every right to send him back.

Ye he looks like he bowks 130-135 ks ish. But he is tallish & gets some extra bounce from a fairly high action.

What I've seen of Copeland I've really liked and I made a statement not too long ago that he was a better prospect than Siddle,McKay and George .Don't know why he wasn't considered for Australia A.Are selectors really paying attention to domestic matches, surely one of them would have spot this talented bowler who swings it away from right handers and has excellent control btw his pace isn't a problem( he is a bit quicker than McKay).

Ye definately a better prospect than McKay 9who really shouldn't be considered for tests) & George. Not Siddle though IMO.

But then again i guess in certain conditions you could pick Copeland over Siddle. For example lets say AUS start with an attack of Hilfenhaus/Bollinger/Johnson/Harris & Hilfenahus gets injured. Copeland would be a better replacement since he is a swing bowler like Hilfy.

In order news. The stream for the NSW vs TAS game is down this morning on the CA wesbite @ the worst time with Krejza bowling.

I would have Copeland over Siddle in all conditions.Copeland is a more complete bowler than Siddle in that he moves the ball, has better control gets more bounce the only thing Siddle has on him is that Siddle is quicker but its not like Siddle is express pace.I do like Siddle but from what i've seen of the two bowlers Copeland definitely has him covered.

Great ball from Copeland there to get the first wicket.

Oh well, I'm still happy because Tassie look like they should win barring a massive collapse. But we still need to be careful because this game has been a weird one.
