Bollinger is still injured, so it won't be him. Pattinson looks likely; took the most wickets here, has played ODIs for Australia and went on the tour of Sri Lanka with the Test side as well.**** me.
So...
um...
Warner
Hughes
Khawaja
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Haddin
Copeland
Siddle
Pattinson/Cutting/Bollinger/???
Lyon
But Siddle can bowl all day...That's where Copeland should come into it.
I suppose but it still puts strain on Copes to bowl alot of overs. Warner batting for a test spot here, wish this was on tvThat's where Copeland should come into it.
He loves the long spells, he just bowled 11 overs straight in the current match. God knows how many he bowled in that Shield final, the commentators kept mentioning Cummins mammoth overs, Copeland was well past that.I suppose but it still puts strain on Copes to bowl alot of overs.

I used all the commentated matches on cricinfo and worked it out, the runs aren't that surprisingly in favour of Martin against pace where if he got any bat on it, the ball could run to the boundary.So, worst of all time to total ****e?
Don't really think it's a battle. Watson and Marsh are out, so he will play.I suppose but it still puts strain on Copes to bowl alot of overs. Warner batting for a test spot here, wish this was on tv
He only stopped at 11 because of the rain. Could have easily doubled that.He loves the long spells, he just bowled 11 overs straight in the current match. God knows how many he bowled in that Shield final, the commentators kept mentioning Cummins mammoth overs, Copeland was well past that.
Last bowling spot is a little up in the air I guess but I am pretty sure they'll pick Pattinson.Australia's XI for the First Test picks itself now, surely.
almost last 11 standingAustralia's XI for the First Test picks itself now, surely.
Also bowling quite a few four-balls by the looks of things.Southee creating a lot of chances here.
