Never heard of him before this series and no idea how he's done as I've hardly watched it but looking at the pubbers they have to come in, it's not a good thing for Aussies.
To be honest if i was Lehmann i would think there would be nothing to lose by getting Mitchell Johnson on a plane.....despite the fact he's woefully inconsistent.
If they got an on form Mitchell Johnson they would have in their armory the best pace bowler in the world.
They have a few good bowlers at a similar level, none having much experience. Cummins, Bird, Starc have made promising starts but that's it for now. The other thing is that Sir Ashton for all his batting prowess clearly isn't ready as a bowler. In truth Anderson has shown up most of the bowlers so far.
Mummy's boy Johnson making a return? Book it!

Starc is inconsistent , cummins seems to be very injury prone, never heard of bird so will reserve judgement. If I was Aussies. I'd forget this series. Risk losing 5-0 but try out players and go all out for home series in November. It's their only chance to get ashes back.Quote:
