Don't be so sure....the Aussies major fault of late has been an inability to get all the wickets in a game.

We may bowl well one innings, and then look absolutely ordinary next time. I wouldn't be overly surprised if it happened again...obviously, I hope not though.
 
Mitchell Johnson giving it the biggen with all the words before the test... "Im gonna go after the skipper"

bowls like a school child with his "Im just planning to sling it" style

then drops a plum with Straussy on 70 <)

One word: *****! ^^)
 
Ledge! Big moment that, we make it past lunch, and we're still in this.

These two I mean!
 
Well done there Mitch. Pulling an all-nighter for this one, so let's hope that proves decisive...
 
I was planning to but just smoked a spliffy, so not gonna last past tea.
 
****** **** have some faith. In the last few years England have proved to be very resilient and they no longer gift the opposition 20 wickets.

As an aside, is Mitchell Johnson one of the most over rated players of all time? Shocking.
 
A true Comeback, well done Cook, Trott and Strauss and tommorow hopefully KP can take over and honestly Johnson was mouthing so much before the test but in the end he failed, pretty spectacular, Barmy Army
 
Mitchell Johnson. I could play him with a stick of rhubarb.
 
Give Bollinger his spot.

May miss out on Johnson's batting prowess, getting a powerful 0 runs, with Bollinger's no. XI mentality...but he won't bowl so terribly.
 
Not really seen much of Bollinger play.

Johnson is a decent bat mate, as a few others have said in here. Just had a bad innings.

His test form with the bat in the last 18 months is shocking. Average of 12. Average of 55 with ball in same term.

As a Pom, I say play him. :D

I know what Johnson's capable of with bat and ball...he's simply not delivering.

Bollinger's test record with the ball makes for good reading...I'd give him the new ball with Hilf and make Siddle first change.
 
Bollinger is quality, he really is. Should definately be playing, maybe even instead of Doherty and give North and Katich the spinning duties.
 
See, I don't think Australia need 4 outright bowling pacemen.

We have Watson who is a more than adequate 4th seamer, but we need the three frontliners to fire.
 
Cookie can have my babies! Great innings by him and AS, now Trott to get a ton tomorrow, with cook reaching 250. ;)
 
I don't think Bollinger could make much of a difference in all honesty, I'd give Johnson another chance. Remember, the Aussies were calling for Hussey to be dropped, and look what he did.
 
Oh, I don't think Johnson will be dropped, and hope desperately he will prove me wrong...

I just think Bollinger is a better bowler.

When Johnson isn't getting a ball to swing he isn't dangerous and picks up most of his wickets from batsmen playing rash shots.
