This must be some sick joke. Mitchell Johnson is coming into the team to replace Lee. I just can't believe it. He's obviously been selected on "potential", but he's done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING so far to suggest he should be playing for Australia!!! He averages about 34 with the ball in one day matches at an economy rate of 5.2 an over!!!

For Squirter and co from NZ who wouldn't know anything about him (most Aussies don't know anything about him either), this guy could easily challenge Brett Lee's total of 85 runs conceded last night. Like Lee, he's quite quick, but he can spray them around all over the place. I watched him bowl in a one day game against Tasmania at the Gabba and in one over he struggled to even land the ball on the pitch as he sent down 6 wides, before Ricky Ponting calmly hit the last ball over square leg for 6. I don't think Ponting would have been too impressed by him.
