Scott Boland will replace the injured Pat Cummins for the second Test against West Indies in Adelaide, Cricket Australia confirmed

Boland, 33, made a stunning Test debut last year at the MCG, claiming 6 for 7 in the second innings shut-out of England. He took 18 wickets from three games in that series at an average of 9.86 but has not played for the national side since with the team touring Pakistan and Sri Lanka over the last year where it has needed to reinforce its spin attack
.
Boland - Right-arm fast-medium

This guy is even scarier


Lance Morris, the Western Australia pace bowler who is rated the quickest bowler in Australia, has been called up into the squad alongside Queensland seamer Michael Neser as bowling reinforcement for the second Test against West Indies in Adelaide.

Morris, 24, has had an outstanding Sheffield Shield season where he is the leading wicket-taker with 27 and 18.40. He almost bowled WA to a remarkable victory at the Gabba on Sunday.

It's good exposure. You learn to play pace by playing against pace

I agree its good exposure.
I saw Tage facing every ball from Starc that was above 140 kph. Must be the fastest bolwing he has faced in his life

You learn to play pace by playing against pace

Not necessarily ...You have to have fundamental batting skills to play pace in the first place and then to learn.

If you have fear in your heart or you regularly getting hit...or hopping ,jumping and trying unsuccessfully to duck in every innings ....and getting out for low scores....you wont learn a thing....no matter how many innings you play

You have to be able to pick up line and length quickly, keep eyes on the ball and leave alone well. All in a matter of a split second! cool

Did you see Tage's limbo style leave alone?
