Trent Copeland eager to play Test series against New Zealand – Cricket News Update
Australia’s young pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 and make the difference with his seam bowling, claiming that he has potential to build pressure on the batsmen.
Copeland asserts that his tall stature helps him swing the ball both ways along with making it bounce. He is confident that his bowling techniques are quite different from those of his teammates, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330. However, he opines
that other bowlers also bring their own sets of skill on the field.
As some analysts are of the few that Copeland is lined up with Johnson and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 for selection in the squad, the youngster avers that he has no competition with anyone else, because his talent stands apart from all. Moreover, he has more chance of selection
as Harris has fitness problems, while Johnson is likely to be sidelined for his average performance during last http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 series.
Talking to the media today, the New South Wales-born paceman said, “I don't really think that there's another guy in the attack like me, which I suppose can hold me in good stead, or it can work against me.”
He further told, “I don't bowl 150km/http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hugh-Morris-c63550 an hour - I swing the ball a little bit both ways. I'm tall, hit the seam and try and build pressure and I suppose the other guys all have their different aspects and skill sets they bring to the table as well. Not
taking anything away from any of those guys whatsoever, but I think I can bring that pressure and hold up an end.”
The Australian selectors, under the leadership of the newly-appointed head, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969, are going to announce the final squad within a couple of days as the series is scheduled to start from December 1.
Copeland is spending immense time in practice nets as he has been staying away from the longer formats since August 2011 when he staged his International debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045. He played all three Tests of the series and grabbed 6 wickets by conceding 227
runs. Apart from this, he has 23 First-Class matches to his credit.
