Not to mention his height

He had a dangerous bouncer, particularly during the first half of his career

Still had it at the end. KP to confirm.

was able to bowl at copes pace when required

Glenn McGrath AWESOME slower ball vs Nasser Hussain 2002 MCG - YouTube

 

[centurymaker]

haha good stuff.

 

[BlazeDragon]

I'm pretty sure the reason why people compare Copeland to Mcgrath is because he is a line and length bowler that give away a very few runs. But he has got to start taking wickets a lot more consistently if he ever wants to be compared for real.

Apparently Muss lost four kilos whilst batting. Cripes.

pus from siddle

 

[Spikey]

bowling trash on batsmen's pads/way outside off not working...........didn't see that happening

 

[Spark]

I guess this was bound to happen eventually. Oh well.

 

[uvelocity]

69 overs for 0 sundries is an improvement though

haha what a jinx

I think that Siddle is trying to get Mahela out LBW playing across his pads given the field placings on the leg side.

EDIT - obv trying to get a small edge to the keeper for the deliveries outside off.

I'm assuming Copes and Siddle have to take the new ball as soon as it is available. With that in mind maybe after this over, Lyon and Watson/MJ can be brought on.

I'd fancy bringing Watto on to see if he can get some reverse. A breakthrough before the second new ball would be golden and ramrod straight stuff ain't doing it.

 

[Sylvester]

Copeland is a given for the new ball and Siddle the next best option unless we go outside the box and give it to Watson.

My feeling is this could be a good time for Watson. With the old ball that Johnson is roughing up nicely by banging on the edge of the pitch.

There could be some reverse and Watto is the only man in the side who can extract some of it.


Edit: Yeah, that's better!

that there is, hope he can sneak it between bat n pad

 

[Sylvester]

Golden arm Watson does it again.

or a nick will do!!! wattburger!!! \./

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Watto!! Good wicket, boy.

 

[Spark]

holy ****!

Wow, so similar to the dismissals in our first innings.

 

[uvelocity]

quite similar to many of the aussie dismissals
