One of the more promising young fast bowlers in Australia, Nathan Coulter-Nile, has been squeezed out of the Western Australia XI for the opening round of the Sheffield Shield because Mitchell Johnson cannot be relied upon to bowl in an economical fashion.

Coulter-Nile, widely expected to push for higher honours in coming seasons, has been handed drinks duties for Western Australia in the match against Tasmania at the WACA ground, as Cricket Australia encourages its international players to take part in as much state cricket as possible.

It was selected mainly for Johnson, playing in his home for the first time after moving to Queensland three years ago, bowler attack is considered too likely to give work to find wickets, despite his pedigree and a lot of international experience.

This is considered to close the line through the name of the Coulter-Nile, for his Bowling is also directed their aggression, WA and management team is considered the risk of loss of cross was too high. Another factor was the lack of young all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is a duty for Australia, or the Warriors picked up just four bowlers in the squad to face the Tigers.

Michael Hogan, Matt Dixon, and left-arm spinner Michael Beer was preferred to support Johnson's WACA ground, which is episodic memory problems of choice in many of the Australian team for the past four years.

Inconsistencies in Johnson's bowling in Australia influenced the balance of the team for quite a while 'time, forcing the selection of a more even pace bowlers around him, and also by piling the pressure on the spinners in a row to be thrifty in their methods, despite the lack of international experience.

Johnson was available for editing, because it was left out of the Australian team for Twenty20 that granted too short on his last appearances in Sri Lanka T20. He will leave for the ODI leg of the tour to South Africa at the end of the match Shield.

At 24, Coulter-Nile has played seven games for its first class status, claiming 32 doors 23.71, and also shows the potential with the bat.

Has been described by Mickey Arthur, the coach of Washington, as "the only player in this group that undoubtedly going to play higher," and has more than a similarity in the physical method and Ryan Harris, melon notable recent Australia tour Sri Lanka completed.
