Why Mitchell Johnson should be nervous

<p class="MsoNormal">Stuey’s departure opens up the Australian team, again.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">If Mitchell does not cement his place this test, Australia can bring in Beau for Stuey and Noffke for Johnson, which would mean an Australian batting line up where Lee comes in at 10.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Lee made 60 in this match.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">That is one hell of a batting line up.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Noffke and Casson both averaged huge numbers with the bat this year in shield cricket.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Noffke is a big hitting guy, who I believe would be a great number 7, but could be an even better number 8.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Casson is a cockroach at the crease, not even a lack of batting talent seems to affect him.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Johnson has not been effective on West Indian wickets so far.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">He may take 8 wickets in the second innings, but I think he will be lucky to get 4 wickets for the match, and if he gets less, then Noffke has to be given a go.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s alright to back a bloke in, but Johnson had some of the longest spells of all time against the Indians and other than worrying Dravid he generally was unthreatening.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">In the three innings on this tour he is averaging a wicket every 100 odd balls.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">And let us not forget he was part of the pressure releasing valve that helped Ramdin and Sammy edge the Windies towards a victory Lee and Clark had all but denied them.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I can’t see Johnson retiring any time soon, so the selectors may have to do the unbelievable, and actually drop someone from the team.
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Fancy that.
