The normal awards that everyone else has
Noticed that Johnson has been included in the squad for Perth. Johnson is a cricketer who polarises opinions. He can be a real match winner with the ball, or a real liability. His best is excellent, but his worst is very poor.
One thing I have always liked about Johnson is his batting. He seems capable of playing all the shots, and he has a sound defence. His average is over 20 with the bat, and he has a test century. Years ago I thought he had the capability to bat as high at seven in the test team.
Could this be a good time to try something different with the Australian line up? We have gotten nothing from the #3 and #4 batting positions so far this series, yet we are still level with the best team in the world.
I am thinking we should look at...
1. D. Warner
2. E. Cowan
3. S. Watson
4. M. Clarke *
5. M. Hussey
6. M. Wade +
7. M. Johnson
8. P. Siddle
9. M. Starc
10. B. Hilfenhaus
11. N. Lyon
Might be slight overkill on the bowling front, but it will relieve the pressure on the four front liners, and also mean that Watson will be able to be used sparingly.
