COPELAND 4/58[22] very good SS bowler, but not test standard
CASSON 2/48[12] He most love having Smith, Hauritz, Okeefe in the squad ....
On what basis is that--cos he hasnt played one??
I was thinking exactly the same. The only reason would be the standard of the batters throughout the country is rather substandard so it's easier to get wickets?
Right hand meduim fast bowlers are common world wide
Too succeed at Test level a bowler needs to be more dynamic or blastworthy
Copeland bowls in a predominantly bowler friendly domestic comp
Copeland would be easy pickings for International batsman on predominantly flatter decks
He might be a good bowler in England or in home tests, but elsewhere I doubt it
This is not being derogative to Copeland, I am a fan of his, and reckon he is a very good SS bowler
