Hope so. You'd imagine Putland would have been the one to miss out when George comes back but I'd guess its Edmonson. Guy's been arse all year save for one spell in a Ryobi Cup game.

Like who, apart from Tendulkar?

If I hear about one more player being the new Glenn McGrath, I swear I will rampage through Leeds with a chainsaw, mercilessly butchering everything in sight.
Is that what you want?

Who said he is the "new Glenn Mcgrath"? 'Similarities' does not denote equivalency. I simply was refering to certain aspects of his style of bowling, notably his run-up, the lines he bowls, and his bowling mentality as well: "I suppose consistency and trying to swing the ball around and move it a little bit both ways. I have very simple and plain strategies but I suppose it's been successful for me so far".
It is stupid and premature to prounounce Copeland as equivalent to someone like Mcgrath talent-wise. It is completely reasonable to be excited by the results he is producing and his style of bowling.

Yeh well whatever the case, I completely understand why you don't like it when new players are labelled as a reincarnation of a former great (a la Steve Smith the new Shane Warne) - I don't like it either, because it is usually completely unfounded and based on media hype.Just messing with you mate.
Copeland looks very promising at this stage though (imo more promising that someone like e.g. Finn, who has got excellent results but hasn't actually looked that impressive). It's not just me either, his team mates are impressed aswell:

Perfect day at the MCG today. Victoria only looking to bat out the day, not doing a good job thus far. Johnson looks pretty good, perhaps bowling a touch too short. I guess Wade must have said something to him, as Johnson is giving him a few words after every delivery.

WTF:
"No one in the history of Australian cricket has done what Hauri has done.
A bloke (Doherty) over more than seven years of first-class cricket bowls at 50 and gets a start ahead of a guy who has done what no other spinner has in Australian cricket history."

Sounds like someone else we know, tbh...

That part was actually a Greg Matthews quote.

Oh so it is
Well, Matthews has always said some odd things. His bagging of Swann during/after Cardiff is funny in hindsight (although somewhat merited as Swann was all kinds of piss-poor there) - though not as funny as Rodney "he's not going to take another wicket" Hogg.
