Thought it was just missing at the time aswell, got to use the review in that situation surely!

Having said that, Copeland looks like a much better player than Harris.

You don't rate Dhoni at all:p

Reckon Prior would be similar to Haddin here and commit on his front foot too much here.

Dhoni can play late on the backfoot and use his feet to attack much better.
Prior is gun against spin. Averaged 41 against Sri Lanka in his first tour there while regularly coming in in pressure situations facing Murali. Convinced me more in that one series as a batsman than Dhoni ever has, and he's a better batsman now than he was then. Still has issues with fast bowlers moving the ball back into him, especially the full swinging ball, but against spin in a situation like this there definitely aren't any current Test keepers I'd take ahead of him as a batsman and there wouldn't be many current non-SC batsmen full stop.

I reckon you vastly over-rate Dhoni's Test batting credentials tbh.

Nah it's completely the case.

Does Copeland's batting remind anyone of Lee?
I thought that aswell, body moves in a similar way making shots.
Another 4, he looks more comfortable then rhino and johnson did when they first came out...
