Trent Copeland claims he can be successful anywhere in the world – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trent-Copeland-c2709 has claimed that he can be successful anywhere in the world after being able to do well on batting friendly pitches in Sri Lanka. He picked up six wickets in the series at a decent average and caused plenty of problems for the opposition’s batsmen.
Copeland stated, “We really had to work hard for wickets over there and if you can be successful in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 as a medium pacer or fast bowler, you're going to be pretty successful anywhere you go in the world. That's the main thing I took out of the trip.”
There was some pressure on Copeland before the Sri Lankan tour, as critics thought his pace will not allow him to be successful in international cricket.
However, the 25-year-old bowler proved everyone wrong after doing a decent job in Subcontinent.
The right-arm bowler added, “A few people who saw me bowl for the first time in Sri Lanka were thinking 'he's bowling mid to high 120ks, how's he going to get guys out? But I have been successful for a reason and it's because I've been able to bowl in Sydney and Adelaide and now Sri Lanka on flat wickets.”
Copeland follows the footsteps of former Australian bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183, who also lacked the pace, but was always successful with his immaculate line and length.
The legendary medium-pacer is considered to be one of the all time best, as he guided his side to numerous victories in Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket.
McGrath enjoyed success in every part of the world. He never allowed the batsmen to score runs freely and built a lot of pressure on them. He also had the advantage of his height, which used to give him extra bounce on any surface of the world.
Copeland also falls in the same category, as he is tall and hits the good length consistently. However, he is yet to cement his spot in the team and will be eagerly looking forward towards getting a chance during Australia’s two match Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
He will face tough competition from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330.
