He just doesn’t have enough pace for international cricket. Maybe in England or India, but in most of the world he’d be smashed.

but as you say, been very good for NSW.
Agreed. And any ambitions he harbored for a recall to the international side as part of the Ashes series just gone were surely dashed when he chose to put commentary/Analyst duties for Channel 7 last summer ahead of playing Shield cricket. He said in the lead up to last summer he fancied himself a smoky for the Ashes squad, but then sat out Shield games... Weird. Probably has a media career ahead of an international cricket career as the priority now I guess.

I was disappointed he decided to do that & that NSW allowed him. The team must come before other work commitments.

Abbott is hit and miss but Copeland has pretty much kept the Blues competitive on his own with the ball, and sometimes the bat, in recent seasons when we've had players away on national duty. Very good 1st class cricketer, just never quite able to take that step in to the international arena...
Copeland didn’t go to badly in test cricket from memory

Picked a really good day to go to the shield, started slow but Henriques innings really made the day. Also good to see Steve Smith score a ton.
Kudos for getting out there and having a look HH08. Well done. A lot worse spots to watch cricket, and some good options for lunch up the road....

Drummoyne Oval is a great venue for State Cricket. Should be more of it. I live nearby so went down and going back tomorrow.

Blues looking good.
Warner is an embarrassment.

Hopefully couple other guys get going and get some decent scores and put pressure on Warner to be dropped (not scores from that dreadful MCG deck)

Warner has 2 Shield games left and 2 Marsh cup matches before the 1st test on 21/11, though probably wont play in the Marsh cup matches

23/10 v Tas - MARSH CUP
1/11 v SA in Adelaide - Shield
11/11 v WA in Sydney -Shield
17/11 v Vic - MARSH CUP

He won’t play in round 3 of the shield, he’s in the T20 squad. And the test squad might be selected before round 4. Only 5 days between the end of round 4 and the first test.

Warner scored a 100 against Qld, I’m not saying it’s right but he’s probably already in the Test squad off the back of that.
