Boland expressed confidence in making it to the XI sometime in the series and said that he knows that he\u2019ll be the first to be called up 'if something does happen', or if the team looks for a bowling change in the lineup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I'd be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t excited by what\u2019s coming up this summer. Every summer that comes up, I want to be in the team and playing a part. I\u2019m still happy being 12th man if I do miss out, because I know I\u2019m next in line if something does happen, or if they want a change of change of bowler, or if they want to play four quicks, which probably won\u2019t happen in Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"But there\u2019s nothing better than being in the Australian squad for a Test something like this. I said the other day that all the past players are going to come out and have their opinion. So they can do that. We are just going to concentrate on our cricket,\" Boland told reporters at the MCG on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Boland, who claimed eight wickets against New South Wales in his recent Sheffield Shield outing, cited that game against the Blues as evidence that he can dismiss opposition batters even if they have the advantage for a while.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cSometimes, when you\u2019re used to going in Shield games ... at two an over, you look up and you are going at five or six, it\u2019s a bit different, so I think it\u2019s just about managing those emotions. I think I did it pretty well the other day and was able to fight back and bowl one really good spell,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
