Both playing today.

Ponting, Watson, Johnson all rested.

I was spot on, but I can't believe they did something so sane.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Pretty much the squad I'd have picked except Mitch for Beer. Mitch will be spraying it around without any match practice and the lad's one of the fittest if not the fittest in the squad. And oh yeah Beer's a hack

I don't agree. Mitch sometimes bowls really well after a rest then at other times he'll bowl poorly after a rest. Same with him if he's played a lot. I don't think you'll find a pattern for him bowling like a drain. He's not dependent upon anything other than what goes on in that head of his.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Whole-hearted Siddle spell again, sharp and straight but too consistently short on a largely unresponsive pitch.

well how bout that

Same ol'. I'd like Copeland picked just for the reason that he isn't Siddle.

And I like the idea of him at first slip.

 

[Nate]

Very interesting game. There's a bat off for the number six spot, a bowl off for the last pace spot, and a bowl off for the spin spot.

Marsh, Lyon and Copeland, kthx.

 

[Ruckus]

trent Copeland you ***y man

 

[Loose Cannon]

Copeland, wicket.

I'm sure Siddle must have softened him up first...

c Haddin b Copeland

could become a recurring theme.

I'll gladly eat my hat if he gets picked for the tests and doesn't do well. Good thing I only buy delicious hats.

Harris outstanding

beat the bat
consistently

this isn't bad.

 

[Spikey]

Copeland still hasn't learnt taking wickets is the worst thing an aspiring bowler can do in the current climate

 

[Jayzamann]

15 man squad, mahoosive.

At least, almost mahoosive.

 

[Spark]

Both to Copeland now.

 

[Spikey]

trent another wicket. you ain't impressing anyone buddy! we only care about how hard you run in and hitting the deck hard!

 

[Ruckus]

Trent Copeland you ***y, ***y man.

 

[DriveClub]

As I predicted Copeland is a legend in the making

 

[Ruckus]

Haha were all such losers, following the match by the second.

 

[Spikey]

in my defence i'm also watching dr strangelove

Is there some sort of coverage outside of cricinfo?

Onya Copeland, 2nd wicket.

 

[benchmark00]

fmd ****s, I like Copes as well but he's taken two wickets ffs.

Quick, someone get a message to him. He's destroying the whole game plan.
