Over Beer



Chairman of selectors,

Pleasing to see the Muso gets a guernsey in the squad for MJ Clarke's debut as test captain.
Saw the Trent Copeland kiddie a few times at SCG last summer playing for NSW; nicknamed him the Muso after the more famous Copland, Aaron.
Tall, muscular frame, correct, orthodox right-arm action and can generate genuine pace bowling long spells.
Has a very good off cutter, a wicked straight ball that hurries the batsman up and gets through the gate quite often, but the in-swinger needs work.
Still, dripping with potential.

Test squad to tour Sri Lanka:

Michael Clarke, Captain (30, NSW)
Shane Watson, Vice-captain (30 NSW)
Michael Beer (27, WA)
Trent Copeland (25, NSW)
Brad Haddin (33, NSW)
Ryan Harris (31, Qld)
Phillip Hughes (22, NSW)
Michael Hussey (36, WA)
Mitchell Johnson (29, WA)
Usman Khawaja (24, NSW)
Nathan Lyon (23, SA)
Shaun Marsh (28, WA)
James Pattinson (21, Vic)
Ricky Ponting (36, Tas)
Peter Siddle (26, Vic)

I'm over Beer, and know nothing at all about Nathan Lyon, except that he's been picked as the token South Australian.
Seeing they've left Smiffy out, they might as well pick my mother as the spinner.
