Should Richard Johnson have been included in the World Cup 30?

Johnson and injuries
I can only assume that injury which has afflicted Johnson counted against him. He would've been fit for the World CUp but looking at England's current injury plight, it seems to have been the right choice.
However, when fit, he's a superb bowler and one England seem determined to overlook.

Yeah he should be in the top 30 cricketers in England.

Im not sure of the 30, but surely he is better than Harmison if he is in it.
Sorry I have to have my daily Harmison moan..

Only because they had a feast whenever he started bowling.marc71178 said:
I just think its a bit of an insult to guys like Johnson and Mullally who bowl accurately with experience and cant get an England place because of the fact they arent 21.
England should be playing for TODAY and not for ten years time.
Maybe I havent seen him enough, but im yet to be impressed by his wonky action and constant short-of-a-length bowling. He reminds me of a white Devon Malcolm who does not take as many wickets.
I hope (Like Key) that he proves me wrong though!

Oh Stevie Harmison, you proved me right! You cannot bowl!
How many wides was that in the one over? How many drop catches? Pity because there is a lot of fast bowling talent in England at the moment.
I am waiting to be impressed.
Anderson on the other hand, does look good, very fluid action. Reminds me of Gillespie a bit.

Anderson - Class.
Harmison - Class dismissed (as opposed to any batsmen any time soon).
Johnson could have had a chance in tests at some stage but isn't that great IMO. I think there are other players above him who might have expected or at least hoped for a place in that 30.
