He's Back!!!!!

[Earl]

Mitchell Johnson selected for the ODI tour of England. Peter Forrest Dropped, Steve Smith added. :crazy:

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket...an-squad-for-england-tour-20120510-1yeig.html

Full Squad;

ODI squad to tour UK: Michael Clarke (c), Shane Watson (vc), George Bailey, Pat Cummins, Xavier Doherty, Ben Hilfenhau, Michael Hussey, David Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Clint McKay, James Pattinson, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, David Warner

 

[Twizzle]

not sure what he did to deserve a recall, certainly not on past form

Cummins, Pattinson, Hilfy plus Sunshine's mediums would probably be our first line pace attack so he probably wont get much of a run

here's hoping anyway

 

[hineyrulz]

WTF did this softcock do to earn a recall????? FMD!! Let the princess earn her spot back :?

 

[aussies1st]

As long as he is no where near the Test team I'm happy.

Agreed, but whilst Ponting is still around the squad, you know it's on the cards.

 

[Earl]

You can imagine the headline

Johnson demolishes Ireland taking 3/68 (9) to put name in frame for Test Selection

 

[hineyrulz]

And they dropped Christian to bring Myth back, i thought he did pretty good for us in his limited time in the team.

I agree. I really don't give a toss about pyjama cricket success. He will also make a test return he's the golden child after all.

 

[Timbo]

Seriously, what the f**k?

He's done bugger all and gets a recall on a plate why?

Mitchell Starc must be scratching his head. Well, he'll scratch his head when he wakes up after 72 hours worth of jetlag. But there will be head scratching involved.

I'm no fan of Johnson,but i think it needs to be put out there that ODI's were never Mitch's problem..

We all know how bad he's been going in the Test & 20/20 arena,but he actually made last years ICC ODI Team of the Year..

I agree he should be kept as far away from the Test team as possible..

I'll be interested to see how Patto & Cummo go bowling in tandem..

Looks like they replaced Forrest with Bailey..

 

[simmo1]

Always been a good ODI bowler.

 

[Matt23]

Who wants to shoot him in the other foot?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Who wants to shoot him in the other foot?

Shoot him in the left hand instead

 

[TheParraboy]

wonder if he got more tatts done?

Obviously the southern cross.

The problem we will have is, one or two good ODI perfomances then the call from certain nincompoops (commentators, coaches) will be to re-enstate him in the test side

Yep, the further he is away from the Australian set up the better. How well has the side gone without him???? Let him earn his spot back playing for WA, like Hughes,Khawaja,Smith etc etc will have too.

Surely the selectors prefer our attack at the moment strangling sides out of Tests..

We've now got an attack who bowl as fast as Johnson & are able to keep a consistent line & lenghth

I don't see a spot for him in our Test team any more..

This new selection panel are showing that they take no notice of what the media says so hopefully we've seen the last of Mitchell in the test arena..

Yep no more test stuff for Mitch unless he carves it up in Shield cricket..And not just at the WACA..

 

[aqua_duck]

My feeling is come Ashes time our bowling attack will be
Johnson
Siddle
Hilfenhaus

Even worst is that MacDermott has quit as bowling coach

 

[The Joker]

I can imagine Johnson dominating Ireland's tail enders with over the top wicket celebrations and self-proclaiming to be back to his best form and demanding test selection.
