Copeland stays positive

Frequent showers on Tuesday meant that only 27 overs of play were possible in the Sheffield Shield match between Tasmania and NSW in Hobart.
The lack of play means that the chances of having an outright winner are diminishing with every playing session.

Hopefully we can bowl well tomorrow morning and make it very difficult for them.

The Blues had scored 7-341 in their first innings before declaring. In reply, Tasmania piled up 81 runs without a loss but that's all the play that has happened so far in two days of cricket.
The NSW players are certainly disappointed but fast bowler Trent Copeland believes that a lot can still happen in the remaining three days of cricket.
"(We had) five warm-ups today, so it was one of those days that was very frustrating for us and Tassie," Copeland said.
"It's very hard for them batting and then starting again and very hard for us bowlers to get warm and try to find our rhythm.
"It was a testing day and one that leaves both teams in a position where it's going to be on Tasmania I suppose to set up a game and hopefully we can bowl well tomorrow morning and make it very difficult for them.
The Australia international pacer was very economical on day two and allowed the Tigers batsmen to score just 16 runs from his 13 overs.
"The ball was continually getting wet, but the boys did a great job keeping the seam quite dry - as a whole I think the bowling unit worked quite well.
"The scoreboard doesn't show that but we were quite happy and I think the wickets will come in a hurry if we can just be patient," he added.
Tasmania are 1.90 to win the 50-over Ryobi Cup, with South Australia 1.90 and Queensland 1213.00.
