http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945 back in the reckoning – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120, is delighted to have Mitchell Johnson back in the team and expressed that the left-arm fast bowler is working extremely hard to find a permanent place in the playing-XI.
The 30-year-old has been the spearhead of the Aussie bowling attack over the years but he has been out of the international sport since the last year, when he injured his foot during the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
Johnson, however, is fit once again and has made a comeback to the national team for the on-going tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751. The left-hander tends to be very inconsistent at times, despite having the ability to give strong performances.
In the 47 Tests, 107 ODIs and 28 T20 Internationals, the left-arm fast bowler from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 has grabbed more than 350 wickets at the highest stage of the game.
Clarke expressed that Johnson has looked good on the tour so far but did not confirm that the fast bowler will be an automatic pick in the team.
The Australian skipper said, “It's obviously great to have http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807). He'll be doing everything in his powers to be picked in
the 11.”
On the other side of the coin, the dispute between Cricket Australia (CA) and the players seems to have been resolved. Some of the senior players like Clarke himself, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 have been given full contracts but some of
the younger cricketers still have a point to prove.
CA's team performance manager, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Howard expressed that the on-going tour is a great opportunity for the upcoming players to prove their credentials.
“It's a fairly structured process that does lead out to a list of ranking players one to 25. So a couple of really good players missed out but the reality is also that they've got an opportunity in the first ODI in a few days time to start getting some rakings
points again,” http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Howard-c63371 believes.
